00:00Learning, or the fundamentals of it, begins with literacy, the ability to read and write.

00:06And given the alarming, even horrifying, results of a 2022 World Bank study on 10-year-old

00:11school kids in the country, the president is going for broke on a national government

00:17scheme to vastly improve the reading skills of Filipino school kids, as our Claes Alfardilia

00:22reports.

00:24Riza, a hard-working vendor, often finds herself too busy to focus on her 7-year-old child's

00:31education who struggles with reading.

00:34That is why she is extremely grateful that her child took part in the Tarabasa program

00:38of the Department of Social Welfare and Development.

00:42Through this program, her child eventually learned how to read and write.

00:53According to a World Bank study in 2022, 9 out of 10 Filipino children aged 10 years

01:16old struggle with reading.

01:18To improve the reading skills of children in preschool and elementary, President Ferdinand

01:23R. Marcos Jr. declared the DSWD's Tarabasa tutoring program as a national government

01:29program.

01:30This was formalized through Executive Order No. 76 signed by Executive Secretary Lucas

01:35Bersamin under President's authority.

01:38The program ensures support from various agencies and local government units to establish a

01:44collaborative educational initiative.

01:47Tarabasa provides opportunities for college students to serve as tutors for selected elementary

01:53school children.

01:54They teach kids how to write, read, and understand what they read.

01:58The program also includes parents who lack reading skills.

02:03College students who serve as tutors are paid a minimum wage while participating parents

02:08who attend receive P235 for each session.

02:12This year, more than 120,000 college students, children, and parents have benefited from

02:19the tutoring program.

02:20Gele Zalpardiliya for the new and better Philippines!
