METROBANK Foundation Inc. awarded a grant of P50,000 pesos in 2005 to AKAPBATA to support its capacity building program of continuous teacher training.
The grant made it possible for 60 teachers to keep developing new skills in play therapy, child minding, nutrition management and teacher-parent interaction. Many months onwards, the constant opportunities of sharing and talking to one another during training resulted in keeping morale high despite the extremely difficult economic situation that most of the child care centers face.
Teacher training for child care minders prove to be a very critical investment in community human resources. Akapbata calls on many other businesses that seriously plan on expanding their Corporate Social Responsibility to devote sizeable funds to capacity building for teachers.
