Gatchalian seeks free tutorials for vulnerable learners’ academic recovery

To address the impact of prolonged school closures because of the Covid-19 pandemic, Senator Win Gatchalian has filed a bill that seeks to give struggling learners access to a free national remedial program, which includes well-systematized tutorial sessions.

Under Senate Bill 2355, the program will be known as the Academic Recovery and Accessible Learning (ARAL) Program.

“Sa pamamagitan ng isinusulong nating ARAL Program, maiiwasan natin ang pag-urong ng kaalaman ng mga mag-aaral at matutulungan natin silang makahabol sa kanilang pag-aaral,” Gatchalian said.

“Ito ay magiging bahagi ng pagbangon ng sektor ng edukasyon mula sa pinsalang dulot ng pandemya,” the chair of the Senate basic education committee said.

Intended beneficiaries are those who did not enroll in School Year 2020-2021, those who are lagging academically, and those who are at and marginally above the minimum level of mastery required in Language, Mathematics, and Science.

The ARAL Program shall cover the most essential learning competencies under Language and Mathematics for Grades 1 to 10, and Science for Grades 3 to 10.

Reading, which is included in the most essential learning competencies in Language, shall be prioritized to develop the critical and analytical thinking skills of learners.

The program also aims to build on the foundational skills of Kindergarten learners to strengthen their literacy and numeracy competencies.
