DAVAO CITY – The K to 12 technical-vocational-livelihood (TVL) teachers in Davao City are undergoing a four-day training on pest management of major crops conducted by the Department of Agriculture Regional Crop Protection Center (DA-RCPC) in Davao Region in partnership with the Department of Education (DepEd).
The training, which ends Thursday, is aimed at strengthening the K to 12 TVL teachers’ capacity and efficiency to articulate the standards and competencies on the required curriculum particularly involving agriculture subjects.
Being one of the four senior high school tracks of the K to 12 Basic Education Program, TVL demands skilled and proficient teachers since the track teaches practical skills and comes with industry partnership like DA that will let senior high students gain the needed experience for possible employment or further education/middle level skills training after graduating secondary education.
Dr. Susan Razo, chief of Integrated Laboratory Division (ILD), lauded the eagerness of the participants to know more about pest control and thank them for the trust and confidence given to DA.
"The four-day seminar will allow you to recognize the helpful and harmful pests as far as agri is concern. We hope that this will raise awareness especially to the students whom you will impart your knowledge with," Razo said.
Marilou Infante, chief of RCPC, said her office is willing to accomodate their students if an educational trip is necessary on their studies.
"We will provide necessary info as long as it can help the curriculum of the TVL," Infante assured.
Dr. Marcelo Roco, education program supervisor and TVL training team leader, said she personally wrote a letter to DA requesting the agency for training about crop pest management.
“Unfortunately, pest management qualification is not available TESDA training and assessment in the region until we have learned that DA-XI has the capabilities and experts to train such skills fo our teachers,” Roco added.
Topics such as Biological Control Agents and its Utilization and Insect Pests and Diseases of Selected Crops will be tackled on the four- day seminar. (Cherry Mae Palicte/PNA)
