THE Makati City government is looking for teachers, teaching assistants or aides, and tutors to join its Makati Mobile Learning Hub Project, Mayor Mar-Len Abigail “Abby” Binay announced on Saturday. In a statement, Binay said the Makati Mobile Learning Hub Project aimed to ensure that the youth of Makati would continue learning despite the coronavirus pandemic. The mayor said the city government would deploy mobile learning hubs throughout the city when classes open this August to assist students and their parents in coping with the “blended learning” mode under the new normal. She said each hub would be equipped with computers with internet connection, books and supplementary materials. “This project seeks to address inadequacies that may hamper the successful implementation of the blended learning approach. It is primarily intended for students who lack gadgets and other learning tools, and parents who have difficulties guiding and teaching their children using the self-directed learning modules,” she said. The mayor urged professional educators, tutors and teaching assistants to apply for the program.Qualifications include having a degree in education or any related courses in mathematics, science, Filipino and English; and having a valid teaching license from the Professional Regulation Commission.
