Eleven student-tutors and two Youth Development Workers (YDWs) of the Department of Social Welfare and Development’s (DSWD) Tara, Basa! Tutoring Program conduct the 15th reading and Nanay-Tatay teacher sessions at the Almanza Elementary School in Las Piñas City on July 19 (Friday).
Tara, Basa! student-tutors hold reading sessions for struggling and non-reader incoming Grade 2 students while YDWs conduct Nanay-Tatay teacher sessions for the parents and guardians of the children to enhance their parenting skills.
Tutors and YDWs will receive cash-for-work (CFW) based on the prevailing regional daily minimum wage in exchange for rendering 20 tutoring and learning sessions from July 1-26 which they may use for their school needs.
The Tara, Basa! Tutoring Program is the DSWD‘s reformatted educational assistance that creates a learning ecosystem, wherein college students will be capacitated and deployed as tutors and YDWs to help improve the reading proficiency of elementary students.
