STUDENTS of Ednas School, with campuses in three cities of Pangasinan, get to learn two subjects that are not commonly offered in any of the other private schools nationwide.

Ednas School, operating in Dagupan, Alaminos and San Carlos, is introducing this year Robotic Engineering and Singaporean Math in its curriculum as part of its pursuit of innovative education leading up to the adoption of the new K to 12 program.

Candy Gonzales-Blancaflor, Ednas School academic director, said pupils from Grade 3 to Junior High 4 will have Robotics Engineering to engage them further in scientific inquiry and engineering.

“Ednas School hopes to produce graduates with the necessary skills that would lead them usher a new era in information technology”, she added.

Singaporean Math, on the other hand, is being introduced at all levels, from pre-school to high school.

Singaporean Math involves the CPA (Complete – Pictorial – Abstract) method, which is expected to help students develop a more intrinsic passion in learning math, Blancaflor said.

The school also plans to incorporate Singaporean Science into the curriculum soon.

ENTREPRENEURSHIP

Meanwhile, Blancaflor said the school is also working out a partnership with ABS-CBN Bayan Academy for the introduction of the Financial Literacy and Entrepreneurship Program from Grades 3 to Senior High 2.

Ednas School has received the Excellence in Educational Transformation Awards (EETA) – an annual award sponsored by ABS- CBN Bayan Academy, Rex Bookstore, Inc. and The Knowledge Channel – for Outstanding in Teaching Methodologies and Delivery Systems.

The school, founded by Dr. Edna Torio Gonzales in 1966 in Dagupan City, has also been given the Exemplary School award-National level given by the Center for Educational Measurement (CEM) for being part of the Top Ten Performing Schools nationwide in diagnostic tests in English, Science, and Math.— Eva Visperas
