UST SHS Department Hosts a 2-Day “Bridging Paths for Inclusive Education” Encounter for AJCMFI-ALS Learners

The University of Santo Tomas Senior High School Department, through its HUMSS student leaders, successfully conducted a two-day educational encounter titled “Bridging Paths for Inclusive Education” on November 19 and 21. The initiative provided remedial sessions in English, Mathematics, and Science for learners from the Arnold Janssen Catholic Foundation, Inc. (AJCFI)—a non-governmental organization dedicated to offering young individuals a second chance at education as they prepare for the Accreditation and Equivalency (A&E) Battery of Tests.

Participants from the Junior High School group were accommodated in a designated classroom, while Elementary-level learners were assigned to a separate air-conditioned room to ensure comfort and focused learning. HUMSS student leaders facilitated the classes, guiding students through targeted lessons designed to strengthen core skills and boost their readiness for the A&E program.

Organizers emphasized that the activity was carefully planned, effectively managed, and smoothly executed, highlighting the dedication and teamwork of the student leaders and their faculty mentors. The partnership between UST SHS and AJCFI reflects a shared commitment to inclusive education and community engagement.

The “Bridging Paths for Inclusive Education” encounter stands as a meaningful step in supporting out-of-school youth and learners seeking to continue their academic journey, reinforcing UST’s mission of extending genuine service beyond its walls.
