Don Bosco Makati - Ang Paaralan Para sa Mga Kabataan

Impormatibo - Andrei Galita

Ang Don Bosco Technical Institute of Makati ay isang pribadong Katolikong paaralan sa Pilipinas na pag-aari at pinamamahalaan ng Salesians ng Don Bosco. Kasama sa edukasyon nito, ang paaralan ay pinamumunuan din ng Salesian Preventive System na inuuna ang katwiran, relihiyon, at mapagmahal na kabaitan, upang hindi lamang maturuan ang mga kabataan, kundi upang bumuo din ng wastong moral, mabait, at magiliw na mga mamamayan. Nag-aalok ito ng tatlong pangunahing antas ng edukasyon, elementarya, junior high school, at senior high school, na may kasamang isa pang antas na tinatawag na TVET.

Pinapanatili ng elementarya ang mga pangunahing asignatura at kursong iminungkahi ng Kagawaran ng Edukasyon, at gumagamit ng iba pang paraan ng edukasyon tulad ng Computer Aided Design na hindi lamang nagpapadali sa pag-aaral, ngunit ginagawa rin itong masaya at kasiya-siya para sa mga bata at nagbibigay ganang matuto sa mga mag-aaral. Nagbibigay ang Junior High School ng parehong kurikulum gaya ng elementarya ngunit nagdaragdag sa pagkatuto sa pamamagitan ng pagpapakilala ng mga teknikal na kurso tulad ng pag-draft, electrical engineering, information technology, atbp. Ito ay nagbubuo ng mga teknolohikal na kasanayan para sa mga estudyante at tumutulong sa kanila na maghanda para sa kanilang mga plano sa kinabukasan. Nag-aalok ang Senior High School ng 4 na magkakaibang mga strand na mapipili ng mga mag-aaral at nagbibigay ng iba't ibang kurso at kasanayan para sa kani-kanilang mga kurso, and mga strands na pwedeng puntahan ng mga estudyante ay and STEM, HUMMS, AD, at ABM. Kasabay ng Senior High School na ito ay tumutulong sa mga mag-aaral na lumago mula sa mga kabataan, hanggang sa handang young adults na malapit nang maranasan ang buhay nang mag-isa. Ang TVET ay isang antas na nag-aalok ng teknolohikal na pagsasanay sa “poor and out-of-school youth,” na nagbibigay sa kanila ng karanasan sa pagsasanay at hands-on-experience na sapat upang mabigyan sila ng disenteng trabaho. Kahit na ang lahat ng antas na ito ay mula sa edad ng maliliit na bata, hanggang sa pagbuo ng mga teenager, hanggang sa mga taong bago pa lamang sa pagtanda, pinananatili ng Don Bosco Makati ang bisyon nito na bumuo hindi lamang ng mga bihasang kabataan sa kinabukasan ng mundong ito, kundi ng mga matuwid na kabataan na nabubuhay sa kanilang kabaitan, pagmamahal, at paglilingkod, paggawa ng mga tao na may moral na gabay.

Dahil dito ay nagpalaki ng maraming kabataan ang Don Bosco, ngunit sa maraming mabubuti at matuwid na mamamayan na pinalaki ng paaralan, ang pinakakilalang alumni ay sina Kim Atienza isang sikat na TV Host, Raymond Bagatsing isang matagumpay na Aktor na Pilipino, at Miguel at Paolo Guico ang dalawang pangunahing mga bokalista ng sikat na bandang Pilipino, sina Ben at Ben.

Tanzania's Arusha Technical College Transforms to Hub for Renewable Energy

  At first glance, the Arusha Technical College (ATC) in Tanzania captivates visitors with its vibrant green spaces and distinctive white and mustard-colored buildings. But beyond its picturesque facade, this college located in Arusha's central business district has become a thriving center for renewable energy studies, thanks to a regional skills development program.  

Empowering Dreams of Renewable Energy Engineering

Yohana Mawaka, a 22-year-old aspiring electrical engineer, began his journey at Arusha Technical College in January 2020. Opting for a three-year electrical and solar energy engineering course, Mawaka made a deliberate choice to pursue his passion. Having already completed his secondary education at Mwageza Secondary School, he was determined to contribute to a sustainable future in the face of increased environmental awareness and shifting energy demands. In his second year of studies, Mawaka has already accomplished impressive feats. He has successfully built a portable solar lantern system, capable of lighting and charging devices. Reflecting on his experience, Mawaka emphasized the practical skills and encouragement for creativity provided by the course, which have been empowering for him.  

Transforming ATC into a Center of Excellence

Arusha Technical College hasn't always been the preferred choice for higher education. In the past, students overlooked the college due to its traditional educational program's perceived inadequacy in meeting current industrial needs. Moreover, the lack of emphasis on practical skills, shortage of qualified teachers, and outdated facilities posed additional challenges. However, in 2019, ATC was selected as one of the 16 Regional Flagship TVET Institutes (RFTIs) in the $293 million East Africa Skills for Transformation and Regional Integration Project (EASTRIP). This project, financed by the World Bank, aims to enhance the quality and accessibility of technical and vocational education and training programs in Ethiopia, Kenya, and Tanzania. The Arusha Technical College Coordinator, Mr. Sithole Mwakatage, envisions the transformation of the decommissioned Kikuletwa Renewable Energy Training and Research Centre (KRETC) into a regional center of excellence for renewable energy. This center, located in Hai district, will focus on hydropower, solar, wind, and bioenergy. The revitalized KRETC will engage students in the daily operations of its power plant, further enriching their practical knowledge.  

Changing Perceptions and Bridging the Skills Gap

Traditionally, Tanzanian students who achieve the necessary grades in their form four (O' Level) exams have the option to pursue A' Level studies and then progress to universities. However, Technical and Vocational Colleges (TVET) like ATC have historically been overshadowed by the preference for university education. Although with a changing landscape, more TVET colleges are aligning their programs with industry demands, yielding positive outcomes for graduates.  

EASTRIP's Impact on Skills Development

EASTRIP supports three additional RFTIs in Tanzania, in addition to Arusha Technical College, as part of its efforts to enhance TVET programs. The project also supports seven colleges in Ethiopia and five in Kenya. To access funds, these institutes are required to establish college-level Industrial Advisory Bodies, develop strategic investment plans, validate their curricula with industries, enhance trainer and management capacity, and upgrade their training facilities.  

The Revitalization of KRETC and Expansion of Opportunities

KRETC, an 87-year-old institution, is currently undergoing a remarkable transformation. Not only is the center being repurposed, but its hydro-power plant is also being rehabilitated to generate approximately 1.65MW of electricity by the end of this year. Students from Kenya and Ethiopia will soon have the opportunity to join KRETC as part of EASTRIP's student mobility program, further enriching the center's vibrant learning environment.  

A Paradigm Shift in Enrollment and Empowering Students

With an estimated 11 million young Africans entering the job market each year, addressing the skills gap becomes crucial. A World Bank report from 2019 highlighted that a lack of skills is a significant obstacle for about one-third of enterprises in Sub-Saharan Africa. EASTRIP, now in its fourth year of implementation, has witnessed a remarkable increase in student enrollment. The project has surpassed its target of enrolling 20,000 students annually in long-term and short-term training programs, with a notable increase in female enrollment. ATC, in particular, has experienced a 133% surge in enrollment, from 2,017 students in the 2015/2016 academic year to 4,693 students in 2021/2022. This growth includes a significant rise in female students, highlighting the changing perceptions and opportunities for women in STEM-related fields. Magreth Kulaya, a final-year student at ATC, challenges stereotypes as she pursues a diploma course in electrical and hydropower engineering. Breaking the notion that TVET students are considered failures and overcoming the belief that engineering is a challenging path for women, Magreth sees the benefits of the TVET path and the productive skills it imparts. Sensitization and advocacy campaigns by ATC have played a pivotal role in transforming the mindset of students and parents regarding TVET education. Dr. Musa Chacha, the rector at ATC, recognizes the positive impact of these efforts, emphasizing the importance of raising awareness about the potential and benefits of a TVET education. By encouraging visitation to their colleges, they have provided firsthand experiences of the valuable opportunities available. As EASTRIP continues to strengthen enrollment and empower students, Tanzania's Arusha Technical College stands as a testament to the transformative power of practical skills development and renewable energy studies.   Sources: THX News & The World Bank.

Having knowledge of the Philippine educational system

The NEXT exam for MBBS is a proposed examination for all MBBS students in India that is required to pass the final year and obtain a license to practice medicine. Admissions to postgraduate courses will be based on the merit of a candidate in NEXT.

 A thirteen-year education is required by law in the Philippines. The K–12 program covers these thirteen years, from kindergarten through grade 12. Students then have the choice of continuing their studies or not.

 The various educational levels in the Philippines are overseen by three government organisations.

 For public schools in grades K–12, the Department of Education (DepEd) establishes the requirements and administers standardised exams. Private schools, on the other hand, typically enjoy greater latitude in establishing their curricula as long as they abide by DepEd's current laws.

Colleges and universities that are part of higher education are governed by the Commission on Higher Education (CHED).

The Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) programmes are governed by the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA).

English and Filipino are the official languages of teaching in the Philippines. There are more than 100 languages spoken in the Philippines, an archipelago of more than 7,000 islands, nevertheless. Then, different provinces employ the native languages in primary school to make it simpler for younger kids. After afterwards, especially in more urban regions, English is predominantly employed as the language of instruction.

 The academic year in the Philippines typically starts in June and finishes in March or April.

Random Comics Read Recently 1/26/19

Lumpin #131 (Vol. 26, No. 2; Winter 2018), Joe Tallarico ed.: This is the fourth and most recent all-comics issue of a free online leftist arts/culture/politics magazine that’s been around in various forms since the early 1990s; it came out almost a year ago, but I just heard about it recently. The theme is Future Worlds, and the list of contributors runs the gamut of visual styles. I tend to prefer either the purposefully visceral or icy, blown-out musings in our present cultural moment, so I liked these pieces by Krystal Difronzo, an artist and educator from Chicago--  

And Tim Ng Tvet, a Norwegian web designer and artist for a literary magazine:

There’s also some comparatively familiar names involved, like Anya Davidson, Austin English, Juliacks, and Leif Goldberg.

*

Beach Academy 123, Mickey Zacchilli: The collected “Space Academy 123″ was one of my favorite comics from last year -- a perfect model for how a mass appeal serial can manifest from the idiosyncratic practice of its artist without anything discernible of the compromises we are assured have been necessary for such things -- and this online continuation is just as fun. It’s a ‘beach episode’, like an anime series will occasionally do, where all the characters go to the beach and hang out.  

A lot of the time there’s a leering sexualization to this stuff, which Zacchilli omits in favor of more gags; as a result, what’s emphasized is another core appeal of such continuations - spending a little more time with characters you like.

*

Savage Dragon #241, Erik Larsen, Ferran Delgado, Nikos Koutsis, Mike Toris: One of the longest-running serial comic books still written and drawn by its creator, this foundational Image series continues to inhabit a vivified space where superhero drama is flatly sexual and superhero action is abrupt and bloody. We’re now into a problematic/melodramatic consequences-of-sexual-assault storyline, wherein the Dragon’s oft-insatiable partner Maxine mulls bitterly over her reputation as an exhibitionist in the midst of coping with trauma; frames of leering male eyes sit as uneasily alongside images of rampant horniness as they would in a Tinto Brass movie, or whatever - and, Larsen then spices up the stew yet more with a guest appearance by the now-public-domain C.C. Beck/Pete Costanza creation Captain Tootsie (a superhero pitchman for Tootsie Rolls), who functions as a sort of two-fisted ambient cloud of historical purity. But, I suspect anyone still reading “Savage Dragon” in 2019 is grooving on the improvisatory feel of somebody putting a comic together month after month, and is probably willing to allow the specifics of the plot to play out in dual use as fuel for what is yet to come. This is the character of superhero serials in general, but those aren’t controlled by the passions of a craftsman for long in the corporate sphere.

*

The League of Extraordinary Gentleman Vol. 4: The Tempest #4 (of 6), Alan Moore, Kevin O’Neill, Ben Dimagmaliw, Todd Klein: Kind of a fanservice-y issue, with lots of glimpses of prior Leagues only glanced upon before; the whole thing is set up as a homage to children’s anthology comics, so there’s lots of brief vignettes in affected styles. Also: a big twist, suggesting the superimposition of one reality onto another, as is now traditional in apocalypses written by Alan Moore. Also: multiple jokes about sexual assault, which feel acridly like Alan Moore reminding us he doesn’t let the squares tell him what to write. Also: a page-long math joke, which reminds us that Alan Moore smokes a ton of weed.

*

From Hell: Master Edition #3 (of 10), Eddie Campbell, Alan Moore, Pete Mullins, April Post: I’m listing Campbell first, because he is the driving force behind this revised and colorized re-serialization of the all-time classic, which some view with great suspicion. A colorization of “From Hell” - isn’t that gonna look like shit? Isn’t that a bad fucking idea? I try not to foreground those questions, because I think in situations like this, aesthetic judgments have a tendency to depoliticize what is inseparably a question of labor. DC Comics -- publishing unit of DC Entertainment, a subsidiary of Warner Bros. -- making the decision to recolor, say, “The Saga of the Swamp Thing”, is an economic decision made via their assumptions of how to best monetize their content; that this may benefit one or more artists, and possibly some involved with the creation of the work, is secondary these concerns. Or, in other words: that DC may include some creators in this process, reinforces the fact that they may just as well exclude them. That one of the creators of  “From Hell” might spearhead a similar colorization can be driven by a similarly economic motive, but it is fundamentally different, in that it also functions as part of the practice of the artist, in tandem with works that benefit them. Of course, there is nuance; one creator of a “creator-owned” work may easily usurp control from others and do them dirty (to say nothing of any publishers out there rumored to demand all media rights as a prequisite to ‘creator-owned’ publication), but to reduce the discussion of these situations to qualitative is-the-book-good conclusions will only benefit the corporate big kids, as it flattens everything into judgment calls re: the skills of workers rather than the system in which they work. Nonetheless, if you really want to know if From Hell In Color is any good, my answer is “sometimes it is, sometimes it isn’t.” Sometimes it’s transformative - this page now looks like something out of Olivier Schrauwen:
