Projects under Program DUYOG

I. Tamaraw United in Developing Learning Opportunities (TUDLO)

The Tamaraw United in Developing Learning Opportunities (TUDLO) is an educational program under Academic Affairs Office, and Admissions and Financial Assistance Office in coordination with Community Engagement & Extension Services of FEU High School. The meaning of the Cebuano word “Tudlo” is the heart of this program which means “to teach/tutor”. It aims to support the academic development of Grade 6 public school pupils by providing them with rigorous sessions in Mathematics, Science, English, and Filipino that will intensify their grit to pursue their educational journey in Junior High School rather than dropping out in school. It will allow them to push beyond their limitations and stand out among other takers by aiming higher results in their scholarship and entrance examinations, not just in FEU High School but also to other Junior High Institutions.

To cater the needs of the pupils, the program will offer a Remedial session for low-performing to better hone their skills according to their capabilities. The 10-week sessions will be a supplementary program of the partner school to ensure the mastery of the K-12 Most Essential Learning Competencies for Grade 6 pupils set by the Department of Education.
