📋 Tender Overview
PUERTO PRINCESA CITY, Palawan (PIA) -- The Puerto Princesa School of Arts and Trades (PPSAT) has elevated the training of its personnel in foreign sign language (FSL) to an intermediate level that will equip them to further promote inclusive education. Vocational Schools Administrator Dr. Sianita Tadlas said that after encountering challenges in communicating with learners in the deaf community, the institution saw the need to strengthen FSL among educators. PPSAT is one of the institutions under the supervision of the Technical Education, Skills, and Development Authority (TESDA). Nahirapan makipag-communicate ang aming instructor kaya nakipag-tap kami sa UniWorld para ang trainer nila ay magtrain sa mga personnel, she said. The improvement seen among personnel with the upgrade of their training from beginner level in October to intermediate level in December led the way for PPSAT to register FSL. PPSAT partnered with a non-profit organization, UniWorld NGO, to assist personnel with FSL skills. Previously, PPSAT expressed interest in opening a canteen or cafe in the future where personnel offering services are from the deaf community inside its premises. (RG/JBG/PIA MIMAROPA-Palawan)
