THE Department of Education (DepEd) conducted the first online National Festival of Talents (NFoT) from Jan. 24 to 28, 2022 to emphasize the positive impact of co-curricular activities on the well-being of learners amid the pandemic.

'Our learners need outlets through co-curricular or extracurricular activities to ease their stress, tension and anxieties brought on by the health crisis. Co-curricular activities have been proven to bring positive impact on the health and well-being of our learners,' Bureau of Learning Delivery (BLD) Director Leila Areola said.
