Matalam CES Empowers Pupils Through Young Scientist Program
Matalam Central Elementary School successfully implemented the Young Scientist Enrichment Program Plus (YSEP+) for Quarter 3 and Quarter 4, providing learners with engaging hands-on science activities designed to enhance their curiosity, critical thinking, and scientific skills.
A total of 110 learners participated in the activity, including 50 Grade 4 pupils, 33 Grade 5 pupils, and 27 Grade 6 pupils. The program for Grades 4 and 5 was conducted on February 19, 2026, while the Grade 6 session was held on March 3, 2026.
Through the guidance of activity facilitator Ma’am Leslie Ann Pingoy and her team, together with YSEP Coordinator Rahima K. Pagocag and teacher-facilitators Rhea Irene B. Estimada, Jasnia D. Manampad, and Afnan Imbong, the learners actively participated in different science experiments that made learning more meaningful, interactive, and enjoyable.
The activity was conducted in partnership with Studentship Philippines through the support of its President, Kristoni Go. The school also expresses its sincere appreciation to the supportive school principal, Juheri K. Pagocag, for the continuous encouragement and support in making this program possible.
The successful implementation of YSEP+ reflects the school’s strong commitment to developing innovative, curious, and scientifically inclined learners.
