Ninety-nine Caraganon students will participate in the 2023 National Festival of Talents (NFOT) with the theme “Reinforcing 21st Century Learning and Fostering Creative Industries through Talents and Skills Exhibition” in Region X (Northern Mindanao) from July 17 to 21, 2023.
The NFOT, as a co-curricular activity, is a clear and proactive reinforcement of the teaching and learning process and reflects the significant association between what the learners learned in school and what they performed and produced during this activity.
Per Department of Education (DepEd) memorandum no. 23, s. 2023 signed by Undersecretary for Curriculum and Teaching Gina O. Gonong, the conduct of NFOT is consistent with the MATATAG education agenda: Take care of learners by promoting learner well-being, inclusive education programs, and ensuring that all learners, regardless of background, have access to quality learning opportunities and services.
The participation in the 2023 NFOT is voluntary and shall not, in any way, affect the time-on-task of teachers as this activity’s target learning standards and competencies are already embedded in teachers’ actual classroom teaching and assessment process.
The event categories of the 2O23 NFOT are as follows: Technolympics for Technology and Livelihood Education (TLE), Technical-Vocational Education (TVE), and Technical-Vocational Livelihood (TVL); Sining Tanghalan for Music and Arts; Population Development for Social Studies (Araling Panlipunan); Read-A-Thon for English and Filipino; Lingo Stars for Special Program in Foreign language; Musabaqah for Madrasah Education Program (MEP); SNEd Expo for Special Needs Education (SNEd); and STEMazing for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics. ###
