The “Tulong Eskwela Program” Is For the Parents
With the “Tulong Eskwela Program,” parents in need will be able to get startup support to alleviate the financial burden of education costs, ensuring that their children or the students of Mandaue, can focus on their studies without the stress of economic constraints.
By prioritizing education and investing in the future, the city is setting a powerful example of community support and commitment. This initiative goes beyond merely aiding students; it recognizes the crucial role that parental support plays in a child’s educational success. By providing financial assistance to senior high parents, the city is addressing the broader challenges families face, ensuring that parents have the resources they need to support their children effectively.
Strengthening parental support not only helps students thrive but also reinforces the family’s ability to face the demands of education, maintaining a more inclusive and supportive educational environment for everyone involved.
