PASIG CITY, Jan. 13 As classes resume for School Year 2020-2021, the Department of Education (DepEd) continues building a culture of peace and resilience in conflict-affected and vulnerable communities to ensure learning continuity and to protect the learners and personnel’s rights, welfare, and neutrality during armed conflict situations.
Spearheaded by DepEd – Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Service (DRRMS) in partnership with UNICEF Philippines, the Documentation of Good Practices on Schools and Communities in Armed Conflict Situations was developed to showcase selected case studies of notable peace-building practices and initiatives on establishing and maintaining learners and schools as zones of peace.
