More than 900 teaching and non-teaching personnel from the schools divisions of Lanao del Sur I, Lanao del Sur II, and Sulu, including 16 from the Regional Office, took their oaths today, October 2, during the ceremonial oath taking held by the Ministry of Basic, Higher and Technical Education (MBHTE) at Cotabato State University’s Gymnasium.
In his video message, MBHTE Minister Mohagher Iqbal expressed his congratulations to all the appointees who are now officially part of the MBHTE workforce.
Underscoring the importance of Moral Governance in delivering educational services in the region, Minister Iqbal said, “Ang ibig sabihin ng Moral Governance sa eskwelahan na isinusulong ng Chief Minister ng Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao, Honorable Ahod Balawag Ebrahim, ay kailangan magtrabaho tayo ng husto. Kayo, dapat magturo kayo ng husto, observe time allotment, at saka treat all the learners well, at wag kayong mangolekta.”
“Magturo tayo, magsumikap tayo sa lahat ng paraan para magiging quality ang education natin,” he added.
Part of today’s activity was also the Islamic orientation by Prof. Tahir Nalg, MBHTE Director General for Madaris Education. He also emphasized the importance of educators embodying and living with the principle of Moral Governance and being role models to the youth.
“Tayo ang ehemplo…kung ano po ang ipapakita natin sa ating mga susunod na henerasyon ay kanilang susundan. Kung ano ang makita nila, kung ano yung matutunan nila sa edukasyon natin, ay yun ang mangyayari ilang siglo [magmula] ngayon,” said Nalg.
Meanwhile, these teachers shall be deployed in their respective areas of assignment in the soonest possible time and are expected to render service even before 2024 begins.
