DepEd, University of Auckland to push for reading proficiency in RP
The Department of Education (DepEd) and the University of Auckland (UoA) in New Zealand sealed an agreement to push for reading proficiency among selected public elementary schools in the country.
The partnership will push for the “Reading Recovery in the Philippines” Project, a research-based early literacy intervention that successfully decreased the incidence of reading and writing difficulties among children across a range of linguistic, ethnic, and cultural-social groups in New Zealand.
In the agreement, the UoA will train Philippines Reading Recovery trainers and tutors, who will be selected by DepEd. As the Department implements the Reading Recovery Project, partners from New Zealand will facilitate the project through advisory and support visits. The project is also comprised of research for moderation and evaluation and wider academic collaboration. (DepEd)
