Bilang bahagi ng direktiba ni Pangulong Bongbong Marcos na siguruhin ang mas patas na oportunidad sa edukasyon, inilunsad ng Department of Education (DepEd) ang Bayang Bumabasa Initiative (BBI).

Sa ilalim ng programa, ang bawat napiling paaralan ay makatatanggap ng hanggang P1 milyon na pondo para magpatupad ng mga reading program na nakaayon sa lokal na konteksto ng kanilang komunidad.

Natukoy na natin sila.
Alam natin kung saan pinakamalalim ang pangangailangan.
At sa likod ng bawat dilaw na tuldok ay mga batang naghihintay ng mas malalim na suporta.

Bukas, sa National Literacy Conference, sisimulan natin ang pagtugon. Aabutin natin sila. 📚✨

Sa Bayang Bumabasa Initiative, kikilos tayo para sa bawat batang Pilipino. 👧🧒

The Department of Education (DepEd) through the Literacy Coordinating Council (LCC) will conduct the 2025 National Literacy Conference with the theme: Back to Basics: Strengthening the Foundations of Literacy through Local Action and Community Partnerships.

The Annual Conference brings together educators, local government units and other government and non-government organizations to discuss effective practices in addressing challenges and leveraging opportunities in literacy development. One of the highlights of the activity is the launching of the Bayang Bumabasa Initiative (BBI), a renewed national effort to improve literacy through evidence-based community-driven strategies. The BBI seeks to provide targeted support to schools in need by mobilizing partners from various sectors such as grants, mentorship and trainings, among others.

It will be held on December 1-3, 2025 at the Great Eastern Hotel, Quezon City.
