The BARMM website said the gathering of officials and stakeholders was initiated to discuss ways to use education as a means of promoting peace and development in the region.
“It can help society sustainably and logically sustain and overcome significant impediments – poverty, injustice, corruption, and conflict,” the Education Minister said.
Iqbal also read a message from Vice President and Education Secretary Sara Duterte, which highlighted the role of education in post-conflict reconstruction and in sustaining the gains of peace. “We counteract violent extremism by nurturing among our children and youth the values of inclusion, tolerance, conflict resolution, and non-violence,” the vice president underscored.
“Let us work together to reshape the future of BARMM by strengthening our education system, filling the learning gaps caused by the pandemic and instituting a culture of peace curriculum to ensure a successful post-conflict reconstruction,” Duterte said in her letter. BARMM Chief Minister Ahod Embrahim also delivered a video message, wherein he hoped that the first education summit will be a fundamental avenue to build and rebuild nations.
“The Education Summit is an opportunity to replicate the message of how significant education and literacy are in nation-building. It is also a venue to strengthen and empower local school boards, school governing councils, and parent-teacher associations,” he emphasized.
