SBFI helps school leaders turn communities into partners

School principals receive their training certificates after completing the five-day in-person training. Also pictured in the front row are DepEd NEAP Director Dr. Joseph Dela Cruz (third from left), SBFI Executive Director Louie De Real (fourth from left), SBFI Trustee Melissa Aquino (fifth from left), and ACED Officer-in-Charge Amelia P. Dycoco (sixth from left).

This was the focus of the Year 3 Principals Training of Mentoring Future Leaders for Nation-Building, an educator development program of Security Bank Foundation, Inc. (SBFI) and the Ateneo Center for Educational Development (ACED).
