Philippine Normal University (PNU) President Dr. Bert J. Tuga led a team of experts from the university in facilitating the validation phase of the Project Teach for PEACE modules in the province of Northern Samar. Project TP is a 3-in-1 program that addresses literacy issues while integrating peace education concepts and socio-emotional learning.
From May 18 to 19, 2026, Dr. Tuga and his teamโcomposed of Dr. Maria Azela Tamayo, Dr. Jayson L. De Vera, and Prof. Victor P. Estrellaโvisited Cablangan Elementary School in Mondragon, Northern Samar, to pilot-test and gather feedback on the use of the new learning materials. These modules aim to promote global citizenship, social cohesion, and inclusive learning, particularly among children and youth in vulnerable and conflict-affected communities. Feedback from the validation run will serve as vital input in the finalization of the modules in preparation for their official turnover to partner communities.
The project is an initiative of the GCED Cooperation CentreโPhilippines, in partnership with the University of Eastern Philippines (UEP), led by University President Dr. Cherry I. Ultra, and the Provincial Government of Northern Samar, under the leadership of Governor Harris Ongchuan. This initiative is also supported and funded by the Asia-Pacific Centre of Education for International Understanding (UNESCO-APCEIU).
Ultimately, the successful rollout of these modules signifies a crucial step toward building resilient, peace-loving communities. By equipping educators and youth with tailored resources for socio-emotional and peace education, this multi-sectoral partnership lays a strong foundation for sustainable development and lasting social harmony.
