Who's ready to celebrate the 4th National Homeschool Day? We are!
Given the directives of DepEd and DOH to limit gathering of many people in enclosed spaces, HAPI is encouraging homeschoolers to be creative in celebrating this day.
When homeschool movers and leaders come together, we can do more! Many years ago as a HAPI Member, I wanted to gather as many homeschool representatives or leaders in the hope that in coming together, we can come up with a collective summary of concerns that well represents homeschoolers in general.
Happy News from HAPI! Between 2014-2018, representatives of the Homeschool Association of the Philippine Islands (HAPI) and other proponents of the Alternative Delivery Mode (ADM) educational system worked together with the Philippine’s Department of Education through a series of workshops.
In the words of Senator "Kiko" Pangilinan, “We believe that if we are to shape our nation, we will have to shape first our communities, and if we are to shape our communities, we have to shape our families.” In January 2017, HAPI core member then, Dr. Donna Pangilinan-Simpao suggested to reach out to the Senate of the Philippines. The idea of setting a day as the National Homeschool Day for your country was raised.
