Seameo Innotech, ChildFund collaborate for social, emotional learning framework

IN collaboration with the Southeast Asian Ministers of Education Organization Regional Center for Educational Innovation and Technology (Seameo innotech), ChildFund Philippines recently introduced the country's first localized social and emotional learning (SEL) framework designed to resonate with the unique cultural nuances of Filipino students in public schools.

The 2024-2027 SEL program aims to develop adaptable SEL curriculum models that can be tailored to different cultural contexts; foster a sense of ownership and sustainability within communities by involving them in the adaptation and implementation processes; provide evidence-based recommendations for integrating localized SEL into educational policies at local, regional, and national levels; and share findings through academic publications, conferences, and workshops to contribute to the global discourse on effective SEL localization.
