… EDUCATION FOR PEACE …<\/p>\n

An article by John Unson for Philstar Global<\/a>, as reprinted by the Global Campaign for Peace Education<\/a><\/p>\n

Some 6,000 teachers deployed in five southern provinces in the past five years are now actively helping propagate interfaith solidarity among schoolchildren in support of the government’s Mindanao peace efforts.
\nThey are now handling classes in remote barrios in the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao covering Maguindanao and Lanao del Sur, both in mainland Mindanao, and in the island provinces of Basilan, Sulu and Tawi-Tawi.<\/p>\n

Lawyer Rasol Mitmug Jr., ARMM\u2019s regional education secretary, said\u00a0Friday\u00a0the latest batch of duly licensed public school mentors enlisted by his department is comprised of 765 men and women who had signed commitments to accept teaching assignments in far-flung schools.<\/p>\n

More than 4,000 teachers were appointed by ARMM Gov. Mujiv Hataman during the time of Mitmug\u2019s predecessor, John Magno, who was at the helm of the regional education department from late 2015 to 2017.<\/p>\n

They filled out vacancies after the removal by the Hataman administration of thousands of \u201cghost teachers\u201d from the payroll of the Department of Education-ARMM that proliferated during the time of past regional governors.<\/p>\n

\u201cSome of them showed their dedication and commitment when they volunteered to help facilitate the barangay and Sangguniang Kabataang elections last month,\u201d Mitmug said.<\/p>\n

He said the teachers are now helping propagate the so-called \u201cculture of peace\u201d and religious solidarity among ARMM\u2019s Muslim and Christian communities.<\/p>\n

The ARMM education and public works department were touted as the most corrupt agencies of the regional governments under past administrations.<\/p>\n

Officials of the two agencies now openly talk about efficiency in\u00a0 handling of quarterly operating funds from the national coffer, open to scrutiny by media entities and peace advocacy blocs helping improve regional governance through various capacity-building interventions.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
