MEDIA ROLE IN COMMUNITY-BASED TRAINING

CHAT WITH THE PIA-LANAO

We want to highlight CBT, matagal nato but nd na maximize ang policy implementation... Now with the DG Villanueva's REAL DEAL - TESDA PLAFORM 2011-2015, CBT has greater emphasis. My mabigat lang talaga na hindrance ang TESDA ngaun - its about the long-standing payables to the TVI's (2 years daw). It has greatly affected the momentum in the locals. And with the MEMO 06, S. 2011 malabo pa tlaga magkabayaran. But TESDA should continue to deliver. The question is "HOW" if partner schools are not cooperating. Ang tendency, magcorrupt nlang cla (the more?) to get with TESDA scholarship vouchers. You can see now the real score. THATS WHERE WE CAN EXTEND A HELPING HAND. Under the CBT program plus the REAL DEAL PLATFORM, training delivery of TVIs could be transformed into CBT under the enhanced scheme as emphasized in the REAL DEAL. If you notice the entry shifting of Villanueva's administration it is geared towards creating livelihood enabling. Kung dati puro labor export ang resulta, ngaun sasabay na rin ang grassroot economic mobilization. I can see a paradigm shift of the TESDA. One thing for sure is that TVET is feasible and most preferable than the state spending too much time and resources to degree programs amidst widespread poverty. The government now should give priority to establishing practical mechanism on how TESDA can deliver more, not only to school-based programs but the local employment absorption and livelihood. What i think is lacking is the proactive interface to the LGU and business firms. And this is not impossible in Lanao despite the problem of corruption. KEY TO THIS IS THE MEDIA ROLE. The media like your agency has this historic challenge in addressing strategic approach to poverty and insurgency, the role of promoting and advancing TESDA and other key agencies. This is now an advocacy for us. Lagi mo maririnig ky director Mapandi na matagal na xa paulitulit magtie up or mag-encourage sa mga LGU to counterpart provisions of trainings to their locality. But of course the politicians have to consider vote-get in their every investing. This is now my point about the media role as key. If we take extra effort in crediting LGU trainings & livelihood enabling eh mararamdaman nila their investment is getting results. SOCIAL MEDIA UNLIMITED RESOURCES IS THE BEST PLATFORM TO ATTRACT TRAINING COUNTERPARTS FROM LGU ON THEIR LOCAL RESOURCES; LOCAL INDUSTRY ON SHARING A "DUAL TRAINING" PROVISIONS, FUNDING AGENCIES ON MICRO FINANCING. At xempre, that has to start from entities like yours and from private like ours. Tapos na ang policy level. Now we are crafting the sustainable application on all of that. http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100000105340058
