𝑃𝑎𝑙𝑎𝑛𝑎𝑠, 𝑀𝑎𝑠𝑏𝑎𝑡𝑒 — In a pioneering effort to address both educational support and temporary employment needs, the 𝐃𝐞𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐋𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐫 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐄𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐨𝐲𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 (DOLE), in partnership with the 𝐋𝐆𝐔-𝐏𝐚𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐬 through its 𝐏𝐮𝐛𝐥𝐢𝐜 𝐄𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐨𝐲𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐒𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐎𝐟𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐞 (PESO), successfully launched the first-ever Community Tutors Project under the TUPAD program in the province.

The initiative engaged Senior High School graduates as Community Tutors, providing them with temporary employment while delivering 𝐡𝐨𝐦𝐞-𝐛𝐚𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐮𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐜𝐞𝐬 to young learners within their respective communities. Through regular visits and learning sessions conducted in the learners' homes, the tutors helped improve reading, writing, literacy, and numeracy skills, making educational support more accessible and personalized.

Prior to deployment, the tutors underwent training conducted by a Licensed Professional Teacher to equip them with the necessary knowledge and skills for effective home-based tutoring and learner engagement.

As the first tutorial-based TUPAD project in the province, the initiative highlights the program's flexibility in addressing community needs beyond traditional community work activities. By bringing learning directly into the homes of children, the project strengthened both educational outcomes and community involvement while creating meaningful employment opportunities for local youth.

LGU-Palanas and the parents of the tutees expressed their gratitude to DOLE for supporting innovative employment programs that promote education, skills development, and community-based learning.

This project stands as a testament to how government interventions can create meaningful and lasting impacts in communities through service, learning, and home-based educational support.
