Barangay Halang Convenes First BLCC Meeting to Intensify Literacy Initiatives

Barangay Halang effectively held its first Barangay Literacy Coordinating Council (BLCC) meeting of the year in an effort to promote inclusive education and community development. In attendance was the Brgy. Chairman Aries Silva as BLCC Chairperson, Mam Glariz Rellin, Principal of Halang ES, represented by Mam Maricel Marmeto, Coun. John Andrei Larona, Chair Cmte. On Education, Coun. Arturo Barcelon, Chair of Health and Sanitation and Environment, Rosanna Nosjava, Barangay Secretary, Rose Ann Labog, NGO representative, and other barangay staff and personnel. The session focused on strengthening the local literacy framework and ensuring that no residents are left behind in the pursuit of lifelong learning.

The meeting started with a prayer and was followed by the meeting proper. Recognizing that a council is only as effective as its active participants, the body updated its membership. This reorganization ensures that the council remains dynamic and fully equipped to address the barangay's evolving educational needs.

A central pillar of the agenda was the upcoming Systematic Literacy Mapping (SLM). Mam Maria Rosario Banzuela presented the plans to conduct a thorough, house-to-house survey to identify potential Alternative Learning System (ALS) learners.

"Our goal is not just to find these learners, but to understand their specific barriers to education," noted the council leadership.

By identifying these individuals, the barangay aims to provide tailored learning programs that directly improve their literacy status and reintegrate them into the educational mainstream.

To sustain these efforts, the council emphasized the importance of an updated Masterlist of Out-of-School Children, Youth, and Adults (OSCYAs). This database will serve as the "source of truth" for the barangay, allowing officials to:

* Track the progress of identified learners.
* Allocate resources effectively.
* Ensure a reliable, data-driven approach to achieving a Barangay with Zero OSY (Out-of-School Youth).

The meeting concluded with a presentation of proposed programs designed for the identified target groups. These include livelihood and skills training workshops and functional literacy sessions aimed at empowering OSCYAs with practical knowledge. The Barangay Chairperson and the council commit to supporting the ALS initiatives.

Through the functional BLCC and other strategic interventions, Barangay Halang is setting a high standard for grassroots educational governance, proving that a more literate community begins with organized, local action.
