Hearing Impaired Students (SPED): Recipient of TV and DVD
 
   
By: Francis Xavier R. Miranda
 
Councilor Francisco C. Remitar, in partnership with Councilors Robert L. So and Ernesto Y. Obero, merged a substantial amount from their SRA-MBN allocation and purchased two sets of TV and DVD for the special education of the Hearing Impaired students in the City of Tagum. The project was materialized to help specially those who have physical disabilities.

The schooling for the Hearing Impaired is one of the Special Education (SPED) Programs under the Department of Education. The Magugpo Pilot Imelda Elementary School started the course some time in 1999, the first in the Province of Davao del Norte, and had produced 13 graduates in the primary level last 2006. Five of those students are now studying in Davao City and the other eight are now currently at the Tagum City National High School which has just launched its first batch of learners on June 8, 2007.

It was during the launching of the first batch for the secondary level, where the set of TV and DVD was turned-over and was witnessed by most of the populace of the school. Coun. Remitar was elated seeing the enthusiasm, both of the mentors to teach, and the participants to learn even of their situation.


 

He was so grateful and extended his thanks to the parents who have shown their unending support to their children that even with disabilities, they still believe that nothing is impossible to a person who is willing to sacrifice and give it all.

In addition, the other set was given to Magugpo Pilot Imelda Elementary School (MPIES) whose Hearing Impaired enrollees has already reached to 22 pupils for the School Year 2007-2008. The turn-over was done during their flag raising ceremony on June 12, 2007, the date of our Independence Day. Although it was not planned, the schedule of the awarding of facilities was timely, for behind its essence they have freed our less fortunate children from the bondage of ignorance.
