It can be recalled that the CDC partnered with OB Montessori for the implementation of “Aeta Pagsasarili Program” intended for IP communities.
The programs seeks to provide early childhood and adult learning practices for indigenous peoples (IPs) in areas near this freeport.
The program covers a total of 50 Aeta children aged three to four years old, who will be taught useful information on cognitive learning and human and social development in their formative years.
Along with this, their parents and other adults will also be taught practical and livelihood skills as they guide their children during the entire duration of the project.
