Every dream comes from its humblest beginning.
In such a competitive world, establishing a good future of financial stability and sustainability of an individual is a process which anchors on determination and will to accomplish a plan according to what is strongly desired.
No matter how simple or lofty, personal ambition requires time, resources, effort, preparations, and readiness to get there. A goal being a perspective of a future state, the accomplishment of such will be a realization in its completion. It may be an ambition, an inspiration or a quest for something which is driven by a purpose.
In line with this, the EduChild Program of the Department of Education (DepEd) is a positive thrust to begin it with, the quest for tomorrow’s financial, emotional, and social stability, from singlehood to one’s own family life.
The family being the basic unit of the society is not only of cultural importance but the future of each family member towards the attainment of individual goals and objectives is rooted in its foundation.
The educational system has embarked on a program which constitutes the giving of guidance not only to learners inside the classrooms but to their parents and guardians as well. The objective of which is to strengthen the link between the communal family and educational institutions towards a well directed course in shaping an individual into a well-rounded life. The spirit of shared responsibility implores that parents and guardians have an equally important role as the schools regarding the academic performance of individual learners.
True to its ideals, the parent and teacher association will solidify its role not only in substance of its intention but in the essence that parents and teachers have their respective responsibilities to ensure the favorable advantage learned by their students.
In a bigger scope, the EduChild Program is not only a link that will connect individual family households and educational institutions (public and private) but a fiber that will serve as connecting points to better individual responsible education of our students regardless from wherever they are.
