  1. Project Description:
This program is aimed at mobilizing school administrators, teachers and parents to initiate activities that will push character formation, thereby, setting values education as one primary force to power improvement initiatives in the role of the school. 

The program is to be conducted in partnership with Character Education Partnership Philippines (CEP Phils), which is an international affiliate of CEP based in Washington DC, USA (see www.character.org) and the Department of Education & Sports, Republic of the Philippines.


  1. Problems It Will Address:

In general, the project is an allied effort to arouse interest in addressing today’s imminent threats to society such as corruption, crime, moral decadence and other social malaise spawned by low morals, values or ethics that springs from a weak character foundation.

In particular, the project will encourage schools (both public and private) not only to address academic concerns but  also recognize the immediate need to act on moral, social, emotional and ethical issues that affect the lives of the thousands of students and parents that count on the school as an institution of character formation. 

Foremost to be addressed are the mounting challenge to provide effective solutions to ethical and academic issues in schools such as bullying, cheating, truancy, and dropout rates and the building of a moral community.   

  1. Added Area of Focus

As a Rotary project, it is intended to promote Rotary’s “The 4-Way Test” and “Core Values” in coordination with the ongoing program of CEP Philippines engaged in the training of teachers to become effective agents of character transformation of students and parents.
