FORTH (Formation of Teachers for Emerging Challenged Areas in the Philippines) aims to develop a network of higher education institutions, associations and stakeholders creating a system of quality, motivation and support to teacher training in a number of emerging challenged areas in the Philippines that could serve as a model of teacher training for similar contexts in the world. It addresses the reality of teaching in socio-economic deprived areas with very specific needs and contexts for both children and teachers. FORTH particularly addresses teacher´s loss of motivation and self-esteem ending in absenteeism and attrition. It addresses this challenge with a number of joint measures such as bringing to the forefront the relevance of this mission for the eradication of poverty through education, highlighting the importance of this task creating new curricula and developing it into a Master and then into an Erasmus Mundus Joint Master Degree. The curricula will be designed jointly by specialists from Phil and EU, having a critical mass 10 per university fully trained (total 50 people) and making it a centre of excellence by research and international links. Further, the project will foster the creation of University clusters, learning communities of university- school teachers (in the selected areas as a pilot) enjoy join learning activities. FORTH intends to be a pilot in the Philippines to be replicated in other parts of the world, making a network of interested partners.
FORTH (Formazione degli insegnanti nelle aree in difficoltà socio-economica delle Filippine) ha la finalità di sviluppare una rete tra istituzioni dell’istruzione superiore, associazioni e stakeholder per creare un sistema di supporto alla qualità dell’insegnamento e alle motivazioni degli insegnanti. Tale modello di formazione verrà sperimentato in alcune aree delle Filippine e potrebbe essere trasferito in contesti simili a livello internazionale. Il progetto si confronta con la realtà dell’insegnamento in aree deprivate e con i bisogni specifici di entrambi gli attori dell’istruzione: insegnanti e allievi. FORTH intende affrontare in particolare la perdita di motivazione e di autostima degli insegnanti che può trasformarsi in assenteismo o in conflittualità. Attraverso una serie di misure diversificate, il progetto coglie tale sfida portando al centro dell’azione la rilevanza dell’educazione nella lotta alla povertà. In concreto FORTH enfatizza l’importanza di creare nuovi curricula e sviluppare nuovi corsi di studio che verranno disegnati da specialisti europei e filippini e che andranno a confluire in un Master congiunto Erasmus Mundi. Il progetto fornisce inoltre la possibilità di creare clusters universitari, comunità di apprendimento tra insegnanti universitari e di scuola superiore, poggiando sul coinvolgimento nel progetto e nella formazione di almeno 50 insegnanti provenienti da 5 diverse università. FORTH intende realizzare una sperimentazione pilota nelle Filippine che possa essere replicata in altri parti del mondo attraverso la rete degli stakeholder.
