[Open-education] Open Education Philippines

Thu Sep 25 09:57:24 UTC 2014

Lucky us! Another Around the World post from Asia. This time we are 
looking at Open Education Philippines 
<http://education.okfn.org/open-education-philippines/>, the post has 
been written by Mary Rose Erika Barja.

"/As a society, Filipino people have a profound consideration and value 
for education. Education is regarded as the strong equalizer of 
opportunities, a key to pass over the burden of indigence and place 
oneself in a more sustainable economic status. These are some of the 
points that drive the Philippine government to value education and put 
much effort in the education sector./"

We are given a tour of some of the main initiatives relevant to open 
education including Alternative Learning System (ALS), the Radio-Based 
Instruction (RBI) Program, the ALS Accreditation and Equivalency (ALS 
A&E) Program and the Learning Resource Management and Development System 
(LRMDS).

Keep sending your Around the World posts in!!

Thanks

Marieke
