Despite the fact that the EO was issued in 2021, Minister Iqbal emphasized that although the MBHTE has not yet implemented it due to the pandemic which prevented the face-to-face classes from taking place as required by the Safe Return to School Framework and reactivation of the two (2) schools divisions, a leveling-off session with the stakeholders is necessary in order to understand perspectives, receive feedbacks, and jointly develop strategies, projects, and activities.
The activity was held at Garden Orchids Hotel Zamboanga City. It aimed to bring everyone to the same understanding of the purpose and objective of the EO, which is basically revisiting the two (2) Sulu schools divisions’ arrangement in previous years and how this contributes to the integrated education system under the MBHTE. ### (Mikie A.
