Visit of SEQUA to Project Partners of K to 12 Project


Sequa’s Project Director Susann Gerlach and K to 12 Plus Project Coordinator Andreas Dernbach visited the project partners of K to 12 Plus Project in the Philippines held on 19 February 2018 at SKILLS Campus. The visit highlighted SKILLS’ success on its project implementation of the pilot class in the construction cluster with 19 students who successfully graduated in March 2017. The next phase of the program is the implementation of the Plus Element that aims to pilot a Dual Training System approach as an advancement training program that will prepare a Tech Voc graduate to take an NC-III qualification level together with a bundled related trade, in such case Plumbing NC-III + Waterproofing. 

The K to 12 Plus Project is a multi-stakeholder initiative supported by the German Federal Ministry of Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) that aims to assist the ongoing Education and Training Reform of the Government of the Philippines. The K to 12 PLUS Project will focus on piloting innovative dualized approaches to technical and vocational education and training. The overall objective is to contribute to increased employment and income of Filipino youth and their families, and to matching the needs of companies for mid- to high level qualified employees. As an offshoot of this partnership, SKILLS has opened a Senior High School (SHS) for Technical Vocational and Livelihood (TVL) Track through the provisional permit granted by the Department of Education.
