Training of Parent Educators for the Conduct of Parenting Classes

From October to December 2010, PNGOC again collaborated with POPCOM to organize and manage the project “Training of Parent Educators for the Conduct of Parenting Classes.” Implemented in close coordination with POPCOM regional offices, each training-workshop targeted the participation of 15 City/Municipal Population Officers and 5 representatives from NGOs, faith and school-based institutions – for a total of 340 participants from 17 regions. However, the actual number of training participants reached 362 (220 LGU officers and 142 NGO representatives/faith/school- based).

The training tool used by the regional training teams was the Learning Package on Parent Education on Adolescent Health and Development (LPPEAHD), developed by POPCOM.
