The Teacher Education Council recently participated in the two-day Technical Preparatory Workshop for the Inaugural Meeting of the Bangsamoro Education Coordination Forum (BECF), organized by EDCOM II in partnership with UNICEF Philippines.
The workshop served as a collaborative venue to consolidate baseline information, validate preliminary data, and establish the foundations for intergovernmental education governance in the region. As part of the preparations, participating agencies mapped national and Bangsamoro education programs and policies, clarified roles and responsibilities, documented implementation and funding arrangements, and identified issues requiring joint action.
The workshop builds on the landmark Memorandum of Agreement signed on July 28, 2026, by the Department of Education (DepEd), Commission on Higher Education (CHED), Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA), Professional Regulation Commission (PRC), and Ministry of Basic, Higher and Technical Education (MBHTE).
As part of these intergovernmental preparations, the Teacher Education Council (TEC) contributed a dedicated teacher-education perspective to the forum's preliminary coordination structures. TECโs participation provides a teacher-education lens in the development of the BECFโs mechanisms, priorities, and areas of coordination. It helps ensure that discussions on education in the Bangsamoro consider the quality, preparation, professional development, and support of teachers, recognizing teachers as a critical factor in improving learning outcomes.
As the BECF moves forward, TEC will continue to contribute its expertise toward building a stronger support system for teachersโbecause better education outcomes begin with the people who make learning possible.
