To foster intellectual understanding and global citizenship in schools, the Department of Education (DepEd) has recognized 15 Filipino teachers and three schools for participating in the 2021 KPTEP Online Teacher Exchange Program. Meanwhile, selected Philippine schools for this year’s program are Renato Lopez Elementary School in Mandaluyong City, Tisa II Elementary School in Cebu City, and Rizal Elementary School in Panabo City. For each school, participants will be comprised of a study group and one lead teacher that is a KPTEP Alumnus. Despite the Covid-19 pandemic, the Program was launched this year to spread the impact of educational exchange. “Through programs like the KTEP, Filipino and Korean teachers have the opportunity to learn from each other’s best practices in the field of education, as well as from strong cross-cultural connections.
