Pagadian City (27 July) — Underprivileged students who cannot afford to pursue formal college education can now avail of scholarship programs of the government thru the Technical Education Skills and Development Authority (TESDA).

This was learned from TESDA Provincial Director Eulalio B. Lumactod who said 4,613 scholarships will be given to poor but deserving students. Since 2006 to date, TESDA has provided different scholarships to students in the province to help uplift their living conditions by landing jobs after graduation and apply the skills they have learned from the training.

Lumactod said the scholarship programs offered are from the Asian Development Bank (ADB), Private Education Student Financial Assistance (PESFA), Ladderized Education Program (LEP), ICARE, PGMA-Training for Work Scholarship Program (PGMA-TWSP), and Arabic Language Islamic Values Education (ALIVE) of the Department of Education.

He further said there are available slots for the ICARE and TWSP but they are awaiting for the final approval of the qualification map and the availability of the coupons to be issued from the central office.

Meanhwile, Lumactod gave his reaction regarding the order of President Benigno Simeon “Noynoy? Aquino III to newly-appointed TESDA Secretary Joel Villanueva to provide more scholarships to high school students. He said he was happy on the latest development to give opportunities to poor students to enjoy free college education and avail of scholarships offered by their office.

Lumactod however, is optimistic that during this year?s scholarship programs, there will be changes in its implementation scheme under the new leadership of President Aquino. (PIA9, Pagadian City)

    Hi, I would like to know if the free training of TESDA will still resume? Like the free call center training, Med Transcription, Foreign Language ETC. Im so sad that I wasnt able to avail it. I need to improve more on my communication skills. I hope President Aquino will also have same program like PGMA scholarship. Thanks! Pls let me know if there will be free training again. Thanks
