Dagyawang Igpaw sa Wastong Agkataw (DIWA)
The Synergeia Foundation has joined with the Department of Education, local government units, and cultural institutions like the National Museum and Museo Pambata to improve the reading and math skills of students in Grades 1 to 3 in Marawi City, Upi, Barira, and Datu Paglas.
Dagyawang Igpaw sa
Wastong Agkataw (a combination of words from four Philippine
languages approximately translating to “Cooperative Leap for Proper
Intelligence”)
also aims to increase community support for education by training parents
to be more active participants in their children’s schooling. DIWA’s
participatory, community-based approach seeks to reinvent and strengthen
local school boards by training board members and local government officials
in resource mobilization and management to provide a better future for
the children of their communities.
