Investing in education is one of the most powerful tools we have to reduce global poverty.

Right now, while aid budgets are shrinking and education is being deprioritised on the global agenda, the need for bold action has never been greater.

As the Global Action Week for Education begins, Street Child joins Global Campaign for Education members and partners in calling for stronger funding for education and real commitment to inclusive, equitable, quality education for all.

TEACHERS Inc & E-NET Philippines supports Global Action Week for Education (GAWE)

Global Action Week for Education (GAWE) is GCE’s flagship annual mobilisation, uniting activists, learners, educators, and communities worldwide to demand governments fulfil their promises on the right to inclusive, quality public education for all. Each year, the campaign focuses attention on a priority theme drawn from GCE’s strategic plan, connecting local struggles to global advocacy on transforming education, education in emergencies and crises, and education financing.

Honored and grateful to represent TEACHERS INC at the Education Budget Forum: Strategic Investments to Reach Marginalized Learners and Strengthen Education System Capacity for FY 2027.

My sincere thanks to the organizers for the invitation and for creating a meaningful space where voices from the ground can be heard—especially the voices of marginalized learners, teachers, and communities who continue to strive for quality and equitable education despite daily challenges.

Being part of this forum is more than participation—it is a responsibility. A responsibility to bring forward the realities faced in our schools, to advocate for budgets that truly reach the last mile, and to ensure that every peso invested in education transforms into real opportunities for Filipino learners.

Thank you once again for the trust and the opportunity to contribute to this important national conversation. TEACHERS INC. remains committed to working alongside partners and stakeholders in pushing for responsive, inclusive, and people-centered education financing.

We look forward to more meaningful engagements and continued collaboration in shaping education budgets that leave no learner behind.

Throughout history, women have stood as pillars of strength, compassion, and perseverance, playing an indispensable role in the advancement of society. In the field of cooperative development, their contributions are not only significant but transformative. As nurturers of families, builders of communities, and leaders of progress, women bring vision, dedication, and a deep sense of collective responsibility that greatly enrich the cooperative movement.
Cooperatives are founded on the principles of unity, equity, and shared prosperity, and women have consistently embodied these ideals through their active participation and leadership. Their involvement has opened doors to economic empowerment, strengthened social cohesion, and inspired sustainable development in countless communities. More than contributors, women are catalysts of change whose courage and commitment continue to shape cooperatives into instruments of hope, inclusion, and progress.
To recognize the role of women in cooperative development is to acknowledge a powerful force behind community transformation. Their unwavering efforts remind us that when women are empowered, cooperatives flourish, and when cooperatives flourish, societies move closer to justice, equality, and lasting development.

Gender equality in education remains a pressing issue in the Philippines. While the country has made notable progress in increasing school enrollment rates for both boys and girls, deeper structural and cultural challenges persist. These include gender stereotypes in curricula, uneven participation in certain academic fields, gender-based violence in schools, and limited representation of women in educational leadership. Within this landscape, teachers play a pivotal role in shaping young minds and promoting inclusive values.

Empowering educators is one of the most transformative strategies for advancing gender equality in education. Teachers are not only transmitters of knowledge; they are mentors, role models, community leaders, and agents of social change. When equipped with the right tools, policies, and support systems, educators can dismantle harmful gender norms, promote inclusive learning environments, and advocate for equal opportunities for all learners.
