The Urgent Reality
Addressing the Educational Crisis in the BARMM Region
Decades of conflict, the 2017 Marawi Siege, and the COVID-19 pandemic have left deep scars on our education system. Schools were destroyed, families displaced, and a generation was left at risk of falling behind.
Only 17 out of 100 Grade 1 students in BARMM (SY 2010-11) graduated Grade 12 in 2022.
Prevalence of stunting in children under five, acting as a biological barrier to cognitive development.
