The
Homeschooling Association of the Philippine Islands (HAPI) recently
made announcements that the country's 4th Homeschooling Conference has
been scheduled to happen on May 19, 2012. Set to take place at St.
Francis Square Ortigas Center in Mandaluyong, the event will
gather parents, academe, and homeschooling experts in one venue to
promote awareness of the program, as well as provide guests with access
to homeschool-related tools and services.
Homeschooling is a practice that, over the years, has rapidly gained popularity in the Philippines. Providing children with a familiar and relaxed learning environment that allows parents to tailor-fit certain aspects of their education based on their needs, remote education shatters the long-standing concept that prime education happens only within the confines of the classroom, and is also proven to unlock certain hidden potentials of the student—presenting more room for growth and enhancement.
