Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) Officer-In-Charge (OIC) Regional Governor Mujiv S. Hataman met yesterday local government, health and education officials as well as private partners "Synergeia" Foundation Inc. for the first ARMM education and health summit. | |||
Held at Garden Orchid Hotel in Zamboanga City, the summit tackled the state of basic education in the provinces of Basilan, Sulu, Tawi-Tawi and programs that worked and response to the challenges in basic education in BaSulTa and what works in promoting maternal and children's health. | |||
Sarangani Province Gov. Miguel Dominguez, Mayor Hussin Amin of Jolo, Sulu; ARMM DepEd Sec. Jamar Kulayan, Mayor Allandatu Angas of Sultan Sabarongis, ARMM Health Sec. Kadil Sinolinding and ARMM DILG Sec. Haroun Alrashid Lucman were the resource speakers. | |||
During the summit, a group workshop, health and education proposals for ARMM local development, and briefing on program HEAL were conducted. | |||
It asked questions on "What the doable targets/results in health education?", "What the ARMM leaders can achieve in the next 14 months?", "What activities/programs can they do together to attain these targets?", "What support/commitment can be given by the ARMM regional government, LGUs, DepEd, DOH, and partners from the private sector?" | |||
In an impromptu speech, Hataman exposed the anomalies or corruption in the education sector in the autonomous region, particularly the so-called ghost students, ghost employees, ghost schools and padded payrolls. | |||
“Isa sa pinaka malaking problema sa ARMM ay ang DepEd. Kaya nuong umupo po tayo ang unang pinagtuunan ko ng pansin ay Department of Education," he said, as he stressed that education affects health. | |||
Hataman said he is convinced of the idea of Synergeia that education reform cannot be carried out by DepEd alone, it needs the involvement of others. | |||
Synergeia way aims to discover obstacles to quality education in each municipality by collaborating with communities It also works with local government governments to put basic education at the center of their governance agenda. | |||
It also believes that quality education is the best antidote to poverty and that local governments are the best entry points in transforming public education. | |||
Study showed that of the 10 elementary school students, only three graduate in grade six in ARMM. In the Philippines, 26.5% are living in poverty, while in ARMM of the 10 people, five of them are poor. | |||
Poverty in ARMM worsened in 2009 which posted 45.9% from 31.4% in 2003. | |||
