The 2025 Learning Camp is a focused, four-week initiative under the MATATAG education reform, designed to support learning recovery programs for Grades 1 to 10 learners in the Philippines. As part of the Department of Education's commitment to quality education, this program aims to address learning gaps, strengthen foundational skills, and enhance teacher training in select schools across the country.
A Refined Approach to the National Learning Camp
Building on the successes and lessons of the National Learning Camp 2025, this year’s implementation will take place in 10 pilot schools from key regions. This targeted strategy allows for closer monitoring and more responsive interventions to ensure effective program delivery.
The selected schools are located in the MATATAG Pilot Regions, which include:
-
Region I (Ilocos)
-
Region II (Cagayan Valley)
-
Region VII (Central Visayas)
-
Region XII (SOCCSKSARGEN)
-
National Capital Region (NCR)
-
Cordillera Administrative Region (CAR)
-
CARAGA Region
By focusing on these areas, the program ensures a diverse representation of learners and contexts, crucial for refining learning recovery strategies nationwide.
Key Goals of the 2025 Learning Camp
1. Strengthen Foundational Learning
The program zeroes in on essential subjects such as reading, mathematics, and science, helping students regain confidence and competence in core academic areas. The initiative is aligned with broader DepEd learning initiatives aimed at uplifting educational outcomes across all grade levels.
2. Elevate Teacher Capacity
Another cornerstone of the program is professional development. Through guided mentorship and workshops, educators will receive practical tools and support to enhance their classroom delivery — a vital step toward sustainable teacher training in the Philippines.
3. Test and Improve Scalable Models
By starting with pilot schools, DepEd can thoroughly evaluate what works best. This pilot approach enables real-time problem-solving and helps shape a more effective model for future nationwide implementation.
Why the 2025 Learning Camp Matters
The 2025 Learning Camp Philippines is more than just a short-term intervention — it's part of a larger movement to rebuild and reimagine education post-pandemic. With its emphasis on equity, accessibility, and quality teaching, the program is a cornerstone of the country’s MATATAG Agenda.
Whether you're a parent, educator, policymaker, or student advocate, this initiative is a clear signal of the government's commitment to long-term, inclusive educational transformation.
Looking Ahead
As the 2025 Learning Camp unfolds, all eyes will be on the pilot schools to see how this refined strategy improves student learning and educator readiness. With its thoughtful design and regionally grounded implementation, it has the potential to set a new benchmark for learning recovery programs in 2025 and beyond.
