The LCC in partnership with one of its Council Members, Philippine Normal University, has an on going Research Study on the Development of the National Literacy Framework. The said study aims to develop a national overarching framework of literacy skills and competencies that will make every Filipino ready and equipped for 21st century living. The framework also aspires to be a basis for policies and reforms in the country’s education system and literacy governance.
On October 16, 2019, Dr. Heidi B. Macahilig, Research Director, along with the LCC Secretariat personnel conducted its first Focus Group Discussion focusing on the NCR Cluster held at Robbinsdale Hotel in Quezon City. The said event was participated in by representatives from various Local Government Units, DepEd Offices, Private Sector, other Government Agencies, and Non-Government Organizations who shared remarkable insights on literacy in the country.
The subsequent FGDs for Clusters Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao are anticipated to take place in Regions II, VII and XI some time in November and December.
