School Governing Councils or SGCs are important channels for reformand change in our educational system.
As part of the mission of Synergeia Foundation to raise the capability of SGC to develop and implement need-based educational programs and projects for our children, our Synergeia Mentors – Dr. Rey Aquino, former Mayor of the City of San Fernando, Pampanga and Mr. Jay Jalandoni, former Vice Mayor and current Governor of the Philippine Red Cross, brought together the members of the SGCs in the Municipality of Balindong, Lanao del Sur through these workshops to assess and plan for what works best to offer more effective solutions and actions toward addressing the future needs and goals for the children of the municipality.
Dr. Milwida Guevara, President and CEO of Synergeia, emphasized that at the core of the SGCs are communities of mission and action which need to be strengthened sustainably through these workshops, in keeping with our belief that “It really takes a village to educate a child”.
