The Department of Education (DepEd) will conduct the Learners’ Convergence (LearnCon) PH 2023 on July 29 to August 3, 2023 with the theme SaMakabata: Sentro ng Karunungan, Huwaran ng Kagalingan.
It is a component event of the Palarong Pambansa 2023 that seeks to gather select high school learners, youth leaders and formators, and education stakeholders with diverse backgrounds representing the 228 schools division offices from the 17 regions of the country. It allows the learner participants the opportunity to learn not only from the key speakers and activities but also learn by engaging with one another, especially understanding different cultures across regions.
The LearnCon PH 2023 was developed in response to the DepEd thrust to reassess, realign, and refocus its learner-related initiatives to be more responsive to the needs of the learner. It will also serve as a launching pad for the services being done by the operations strand.
LearnCon is aimed to communicate the policy and program priorities of the learners and education stakeholders; and revitalize learners’ participation in achieving quality and inclusive education by spearheading conversations about pressing and relevant issues for the learners as emerging youth leaders. ###
