This retooling brought together teachers, volunteers, and community partners in a collective effort to strengthen reading proficiency among Filipino learners.

Over three days, participants were equipped with enhanced strategies and tools to assess learners better and address their literacy needs, fostering a more inclusive and effective learning environment.

Meanwhile, the third batch of the retooling is currently underway in the Grand Palace Hotel, Butuan City, and will run from May 14 to 16, 2025.

More updates on this activity will be posted as the program continues—stay tuned for the latest highlights and developments.
