00:00Just recently, there was a signing of the Memorandum of Agreement between the Department of Education

00:06led by Secretary Sunny Angara and Chalkboard Incorporated.

00:11This is to implement the education program in public schools

00:16to help address the literacy and numeracy of K-10 students.

00:23And now, we are joined by the co-founder and COO of Chalkboard Incorporated, Mr. Albert Tablan,

00:30and his business development and partnership director, Mr. Leandro, or Mr. Andrew Añonuevo.

00:35Good morning to you and welcome to Rise and Shine Philippines.

00:38Good morning.

00:39Good morning, Audrey and Dianne.

00:41Good morning to our viewers of Rise and Shine Philippines.

00:46Good morning, Audrey and Dianne.

00:47And good morning to our viewers of Rise and Shine Philippines.

00:50Thank you for inviting us.

00:52Can you tell our viewers about your education program

00:58and how did you establish this partnership with the Department of Education?

01:03We are Chalkboard. We are an educational services and technology company.

01:07We actually began as a pioneering tutoring platform

01:11that caters to Filipino students all over the world.

01:15But with our insights during the pandemic and our experiences,

01:18we launched this education program.

01:21It's our flagship initiative and it's tailored to address the learning gaps

01:25of literacy and numeracy of our students among public schools here in the Philippines.

01:30And just recently, with our partnership with the Department of Education,

01:34it actually formalized the role of DepEd when it comes to logistical support.

01:39And with the help of the Department of Education,

01:41we now know which schools in the Philippines

01:43really need intervention when it comes to reading and math.

01:49On the other hand, as a Chalkboard, we handle the program design.

01:53Of course, we make sure that this is aligned with the curriculum of the Department of Education.

01:57At the same time, we implement the tutoring on the ground.

02:00So we can implement the program in person

02:02or if there's a need for it to be digital or through the digital platform,

02:07we can also do the tutoring in that way.

02:10Okay, so reading and math are the subjects that you help students with.

02:17And I understand even parents can be involved in the tutoring sessions.

02:21But what is the structure of this educational intervention?

02:24What is the difference between this and the usual tutoring for students?

02:30Sir Andrew?

02:31Well, in terms of our structure,

02:33first of all, we start by recruiting community tutors

02:43because the purpose of this is to give them jobs.

02:46And of course, in terms of recruiting community tutors,

02:52the same goes for teaching our students.

02:56They are the ones we choose.

02:58And the program, again, is for the students

03:00who have difficulty in reading and math.

03:04So for the students who are already good at it,

03:07this program is not for them.

03:09But like we always say,

03:11this program is all-inclusive.

03:13It means that there are programs for them,

03:16our acceleration program.

03:18Because our academic program is academic remediation,

03:21acceleration, and livelihood.

03:23So academic, it is focused on two things,

03:25literacy and numeracy.

03:27Then, in terms of acceleration,

03:30this is in terms of digital literacy for the students.

03:33And of course, in terms of remediation,

03:37again, for the students who have difficulty in reading and math.

03:39And of course, the last part of the structure,

03:43this is the livelihood program for the community tutors.

03:46The same goes for the schools where this is beneficial

03:50because part of the program,

03:52we provide good and balanced nutrition for our students.

03:56So our food providers are the schools.

04:01We buy food from them.

04:05So the schools earn.

04:07If there are no more canteens in our schools,

04:09the parents cook.

04:12And of course, as part of our empowerment to them,

04:16we provide them with livelihood

04:19based on the food that they cook and prepare for their children.

04:24Don't you monitor

04:26if the academic performance of the students is improving?

04:30Especially since we want this educational program to be effective.

04:34That's where we gauge if this approach is effective.

04:37Yes, that's right.

04:39This is one of the strengths of the Chalkboard Aral Program

04:42because we normally employ continuous assessments.

04:47We have pre-assessments.

04:49And then we also conduct mid-term assessments,

04:52mid-term of the program.

04:53And we also conduct our post-assessments

04:55after the program.

04:57So in that way,

04:58we compare the reading or math level of the students

05:03before our intervention.

05:05And after the intervention program,

05:07we also measure the progress of each student

05:11who joined our tutoring program.

05:13Where or how did you implement this program?

05:17And how was the feedback?

05:18Basically, we're almost nationwide.

05:23Of course, we started here in Metro Manila,

05:26first in Pasig.

05:28And of course, from Pasig,

05:30it spread to other cities.

05:32Then, last year,

05:35we also conducted an Aral Program in Antipolo.

05:39And this year,

05:41we also conducted an Aral Program in Batac City,

05:46in Ilocos Norte,

05:47and even in Albay Province.

05:49And now,

05:51we are conducting the Aral Program in Concepcion, Iloilo,

05:55and also in our upcoming program in Naga City, Cebu.

06:00So it's not just here in Metro Manila.

06:01It's nationwide.

06:02Nationwide, right?

06:03For those who are interested in supporting the Aral Program,

06:07how can an individual or organization support you?

06:12Maybe I'll call on our viewers.

06:15With DEPEDS endorsement,

06:17we usually collaborate with the city mayors and city governments

06:20through the local government unit.

06:22And for individuals or private organizations,

06:27they can actually sponsor a student.

06:30They can also fund the learning materials and the resources.

06:34But for the individuals,

06:35we also welcome volunteers,

06:36people who want to help in our tutoring program

06:39or in any way to implement this tutoring program successfully.

06:45And for corporations,

06:47we also offer our sponsorship packages

06:49for their corporate social responsibility initiatives,

06:53the CSR goals of our private companies.

06:56And with that partnership,

06:57we make sure that they will create a very positive impact

07:00on the education of our Filipino students here in our country.

07:04And for students and parents

07:07who want to join the tutoring sessions,

07:09how can they contact you?

07:11Or should they go to the management of the schools

07:14so that they can join the beneficiaries?

07:16Normally, again, our program is data-driven.

07:20The selection here is done by the Department of Education,

07:26especially in the schools.

07:28Basically, they have lists of students

07:30who are having difficulty in reading and math.

07:36So from their list,

07:38we will select possible participants.

07:44And so far,

07:45the number of participants in our program

07:49is around 1,900 students nationwide.

07:55And we have reached out to more than 90 schools

07:59in the entire Philippines.

08:01So that's a lot.

08:02And we have been conducting this program for only two years,

08:05since last year.

08:08And many LGUs are now signifying their intention

08:13to continue the program.

08:17That's right.

08:18Because recently, if you remember from the news,

08:21our education has weakened in reading and math.

08:27Well, with the help of your organization,

08:30I hope we can help these students.

08:32Thank you very much.

08:33This RL program is a great ambition.

08:37Thank you for sharing this here in RSP,

08:39Sir Albert and Sir Andrew.

08:41Long live to you. Thank you.

08:42Thank you very much.

08:44Welcome, Dayan and Sir Aldrie.
