MARAWI CITY, Lanao del Sur, Feb. 27 (PIA) -- The Alternative Delivery Model (ADM) Project of the Basic Education Assistance in Mindanao (BEAM) in the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) is set to celebrate its first year anniversary today.
The ADM is one of the key components of the BEAM-ARMM program of the Australian Agency for International Development (AusAID) in partnership with the Bangladesh Rural Achievement Committee (BRAC) Philippines and the Department of Education (DepEd) in ARMM to improve access to quality basic education in the region.
The project continues to help the ARMM government raise the educational standard in the region. It has already established 410 learning centers in several towns in Maguindanao, Lanao del Sur and Tawi-Tawi.
ADM Project Director Mohammad Nazrul Islam, also BRAC Philippines country representative, said the project aims to provide catch-up education opportunities to poor and out-of-school children especially in remote areas of the region.
To be held in Shariff Kabunsuan Cultural Complex in Cotabato City, the BEAM-ARMM ADM-BRAC anniversary celebration will be graced by officials from AusAID, BRAC personnel and Bangladesh Ambassador to the Philippines John Gomes.
Meanwhile, BEAM ARMM also plans to put 400 additional learning centers in the provinces of Basilan and Sulu by June of this year.
