>> Friday, February 25, 2022
The
Department of Education (DepEd) announced that it is mulling to advance more
topics on inclusivity and global citizenship in the intended curriculum for
basic education even as the agency — through the Bureau of Curriculum
Development (BCD) — has been updating and recalibrating its curriculum to be up
to par with international curriculums.
BCD director Jocelyn Andaya stressed that it will also include the integration of global citizenship education, which UNESCO describes as one that aims to equip learners of all ages with those values, knowledge, and skills that are based on and instill respect for human rights, social justice, diversity, gender equality, and environmental sustainability and that empowers learners to be responsible global citizens.
The Education department — through the International Cooperation Office — has been in touch with different organizations from different parts of the world to take note of their best practices, their initiatives and projects.
“With these outputs, the GCED advocacy will likely reach 27 million learners. Though much is needed to be done, the Department of Education, through the Bureau of Curriculum Development, is committed to advancing the courses of GCED in the intended curriculum. As such, may we all be challenged to push all the boundaries that limit us in optimizing the premises and possibilities of GCED,” she added.
The Education department — through the International Cooperation Office — has been in touch with different organizations from different parts of the world to take note of their best practices, their initiatives and projects that will help in the integration of gender sensitivity and responsiveness, cultural appreciation and inclusivity to the DepEd curriculum.
“We believe that everyone, our learners, and ourselves included, is a global citizen. We must evolve our curriculum to focus on cultivating values and integrating concepts of global citizenship to help our learners develop into responsive and empowered individuals capable of building and rebuilding peaceful communities in their respective places,” said Undersecretary for Curriculum and Instruction Diosdado San Antonio.
“In our strokes in shaping the curriculum, we not only integrate concepts of Disaster Risk Reduction Management, gender, and cultural sensitivity, but also inclusivity and global citizenship. These are all important in sensitizing our curriculum to ensure that our learners develop holistically and embody being lifelong learners,” he added.
