In an era
marked by unprecedented challenges and transformations in the field of
education, this year’s CEAP National Convention holds special significance.
CEAP has long been at the forefront of transformative education, advocacy,
solidarity, and synodality. Every year, this incomparable event provides a
platform for educators, administrators, stakeholders, and partners to come
together, exchange ideas, collectively address the ever-evolving needs and
challenges of the educational sector, and celebrate as a community.
Rex Education
also witnessed that the CEAP National Convention is also a spiritual and
intellectual journey, an odyssey that reflects the member-institutions and
partners’ common aspirations to inspire hope, navigate challenges, and promote
quality education for all, with Catholic faith at the core. This year's
convention, bearing the theme "Pilgrims of Hope: Exploring Pathways to
Synodality" is a testament to CEAP’s continuing journey and support of the
Church and society through the promotion of Filipino Catholic education. Rex
Education is grateful to be part of the CEAP convention.
In this
journey, REX, with its decades-long commitment to Philippine education steps
onto the convention stage reaffirming its role as duty-bearers of education and
an ally to educators and educational institutions, including Catholic schools
and organizations, among others. The theme of synodality—journeying together as
people of God—is intricately woven into the fabric of REX's story and its
mission to nurture every child for lifelong learning—a journey of a lifetime,
for every Filipino whole learner.
Rex Education Hub: Paths to Lifelong Learning
For the CEAP
convention, REX brought back its Educational Hub, featuring its diverse and
extensive collection of educational resources spanning early childhood
education through the formative years in K–12 and to higher education and
professional or adult education. Rex Education’s wide array of quality and
thoughtfully developed learning materials have been designed for every learner,
from early childhood to adulthood, REX is present in every stage and
opportunity for the child to learn, be happy, and succeed in life.
REX’s
resources also offer a comprehensive selection of solutions for teachers,
parents, and learning companions, all to complement and enrich teaching and
learning processes and experiences, including values that foster learner
development.
Under Early
Childhood Education (ECE), REX exhibited its Little Explorers brand with over
100 titles, including the Hello Animals books. With a focus on values and
holistic development, they are designed to stimulate young minds, encourage
creativity, and lay the foundations for lifelong learning.
REX also
offers a broad range of resources for the K–12 program. For this year, REX
introduced some of its latest titles for 2024. These include worktexts in
Science, Math, and Language, aligned with the evolving needs of learners,
educators, and educational institutions.
As learners
progress to higher education and embark on their professional journey, REX
continues its committed presence in their overall growth. REX also unveiled its
latest educational resources at the event, encompassing various fields,
including Business and Accountancy, Criminal Justice Education, Teacher
Education, Hospitality and Tourism, and General Education programs. These newly
introduced materials are expected to equip students with the essential
knowledge, skills, and values required to excel in their chosen career paths.
REX's
participation at the 2023 CEAP National Convention goes far beyond featuring
its educational resources. It symbolizes dedication to learners of all ages. It
is also a testament to Rex Education’s unwavering commitment, just as with the
other CEAP delegates, to journey together, with hope, toward a brighter future
for Philippine education.
REX supports DepEd's MATATAG Agenda
REX's
participation at the convention is also a resounding declaration of support for
DepEd's newly launched MATATAG Curriculum. The MATATAG Curriculum is expected
to decongest the present K to 12 Curriculum by reducing the number of
competencies and focusing more on the development of foundational skills, and
in the process improve students’ learning outcomes.
"REX is
in full support of the MATATAG agenda, particularly the initiative of making
the curriculum relevant to produce job-ready, active, and responsible
citizens," said Don Timothy Buhain, chief executive officer of Rex
Education. "We believe that the implementation of the new curriculum will
further enhance the quality of education in the Philippines and contribute to
the holistic development of our learners."
REX's
dedication to this agenda goes beyond words; it is reflected in its initiatives
and actions. REX engages education duty-bearers, Edukampyons, and aims to build
their capacities for respecting, protecting, and fulfilling every Filipino
learner’s right to quality education. As such, REX continues to collaborate
with curriculum development experts, respected authors, seasoned educators,
subject area coordinators, and other subject matter specialists in the
development of quality learning materials.
Overall, the
2023 CEAP National Convention remains a force and inspiration for the Catholic
faithful in the educational sector and a symbol of resilience and hope for
today’s generation and the future. Held
on October 17–20, 2023, at the Water Front Hotel, Cebu City, CEAP 2023
successfully brought together over 3,000 delegates nationwide.
