Marawi’s rehabilitation continues with strengthened science education. Know more:
This is being made possible by the Department of Science and Technology’s Science Education Institute and the Mindanao State University System when they renewed their memorandum of agreement for the Bangon Marawi Program in Science and Technology Human Resource Development.
“Education is a powerful tool for development, and a fundamental right for all young people, especially those affected by the conflict,” DOST-SEI Director Dr. Josette Biyo said.The DOST-SEI and MSU first inked a partnership in 2018. In its five-year run, over 500 scholarship slots have been awarded to MSU students and faculty taking up science, technology, engineering and mathematics courses at the undergraduate and graduate levels.
“By restoring people’s confidence in their abilities and assuring them that nothing, not even poverty, war, or a pandemic, can stop them from pursuing their dreams. We rebuild Marawi from within,” he said. Bangon Marawi scholars enjoy the same privileges accorded to DOST scholars, such as book and thesis allowance; accident insurance; and a monthly stipend of P7,000 for undergraduate students and P25,000 and P33,000 for MS and Ph.D. students, respectively.New undergraduate scholars Soraya Al-Obinay and Aiman Cayongcat, who lived in Marawi’s “ground zero” during the siege, were overjoyed at the opportunity.
