Roxas, the school principal of Sapang Bulak Elementary School, along with parents and other project team members.

The training, titled Building Rapport: Mother Home-based Teacher and Children in Connection, aimed to provide valuable insights into creating positive and effective learning environments at home, empowering parents to become more involved in their children’s education.
