On March 29, 2019, the LCC Secretariat, along with the TWG members discussed the technicalities relative to the conduct of the anticipated 2019 National Literacy Conference in September. Presided over by Dr. Heidi B. Macahilig, PNU representative, the said body ensured that this year’s conference will zoom in on pertinent topics on literacy and research, incorporating the emerging concepts of 21st Century Skills and Industry 4.0, and provide a participants-oriented avenue which will both yield to global citizenship of the literacy leaders, advocates, partners, and learners. Other matters considered during the meeting were the guidelines on the appointment of the new NGO Council representative, possible partnership of LCC with Facebook, and LCC’s nomination for UNESCO International Literacy Prize.
The said planning meeting was held at the Teacher Education Council (TEC) Secretariat conference room at the Department of Education, Central Office.
