The CEO of Save the Children Philippines, Atty. Alberto Muyot, appeals for support from the general public to help train teachers and non-teaching staff to handle new learning methods for the successful implementation of DepEd’s adaptive systems and to address the new needs of learners, such as low numeracy and literacy skills.
