The partnership between MBHTE and UNICEF reflects their continued commitment to providing inclusive and quality education opportunities for all learners, especially those from marginalized sectors.

Sa pagdiriwang ng Araw ng Paggawa (Labor Day), kinikilala ng Ministry of Basic, Higher and Technical Education ang walang kapantay na dedikasyon at sakripisyo ng ating mga guro—ang mga tahimik na bayani na patuloy na humuhubog sa isipan, kakayahan, at kinabukasan ng bawat batang Bangsamoro.

Sa bawat aral na kanilang ibinabahagi, sa bawat oras na kanilang inilalaan, at sa bawat pusong kanilang naaabot—nagiging matatag ang pundasyon ng ating lipunan.

Ang kanilang serbisyo ay hindi lamang trabaho, kundi isang bokasyon na may malasakit, tiyaga, at pagmamahal.

𝐌𝐚𝐬 𝐌𝐚𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐚𝐠 𝐧𝐚 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐛𝐚𝐡𝐨 𝐚𝐭 𝐊𝐚𝐛𝐮𝐡𝐚𝐲𝐚𝐧, 𝐌𝐚𝐬 𝐌𝐚𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐚𝐠 𝐧𝐚 𝐁𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐬𝐚𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐨—𝐝𝐚𝐡𝐢𝐥 𝐬𝐚 𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐦𝐠𝐚 𝐠𝐮𝐫𝐨.

Sa araw na ito, ipinagdiriwang din natin ang lahat ng manggagawang Bangsamoro—mula sa mga magsasaka, mangingisda, kawani ng pamahalaan, health workers, hanggang sa mga nasa pribadong sektor—na sama-samang nagtataguyod ng kaunlaran at kapayapaan sa ating rehiyon.
