Teachers and supervisors from public high schools were trained on teaching entrepreneurship to their students. The MDG Fund Joint Programme on Alternatives to Migration: Decent Jobs for Filipino Youth through the International Labour Organization (ILO), conducted the Training on Entrepreneurship held in May 2011. Teachers and supervisors of the Career Pathways in Technology and Livelihood Education (CP-TLE) for the second-year high school level joined the training held in May 2011. The training supported the national roll out of the CP-TLE curriculum for the school year 2011-2012.

CP-TLE aims to provide students with opportunities for livelihood skills development and possible career options after completing high school. As a mandatory subject, CP-TLE helps introduce students to the world of work. CP-TLE instructional materials now include the Know About Business (KAB) modules, as part of the Memorandum of Agreement between the Department of Education (DepEd) and ILO- International Training Centre.

KAB serves as a response to the need for instructional materials on entrepreneurship. It was also used as main reference when the CP-TLE curriculum was being developed for nationwide implementation to the first-year high school level covering the school year 2010-2011. The DepEd provided KAB modules to 5,677 public high schools in the country and encouraged private high schools to use the modules. KAB modules can now be accessed through the e-library of the DepEd’s Bureau of Secondary Education.

The MDG Fund Joint Programme on Alternatives to Migration: Decent Jobs for Filipino Youth supports the implementation of CP-TLE in four project sites - Antique, Masbate, Agusan del Sur and Maguindanao, covering 12 schools. For the first-year high school level, the project trained CP-TLE supervisors and teachers on entrepreneurship in selected schools of the four project sites. The project also helped enrich and pilot test the CP-TLE first-year high school level curriculum with components on gender sensitivity, life skills and safe migration.
