Dubbed as “Institution and Capacity Building of Paratutors”, the Department of Teacher Education of Southern Leyte State University conducted an extension activity on April 3, 2022, Saturday, that project aims to empower the paratutors in Brgy. Maac, Javier, and Brgy. Mahayahay, Sogod communities.

The paratutors were given refresher courses in Reading & Language, Mathematics, Science and Social Studies & Livelihood Education.

This initiative aims to help address the communities’ diverse, immediate and relevant needs. These paratutors can now be the go-to person of every student who needs help and assistance with school-related tasks.

This is a part of Southern Leyte State U’s way of addressing the pressing challenges brought about by the new normal schooling and the ever-changing educational landscape. With this move, the University is a little step closer to creating an inclusive society and a sustainable world.
