Call for applications: Family Life Education Certificate CourseÂ
The School of Education and Human Development (SED) is pleased to announce the re-launch of its Family Life Education (FLE) Program.
The course draws on various sources for its content and design: the international and local literature on family life education, the “content areas” identified by the National Council on Family Relations and family life education experts, and notes of experience of local groups and organizations involved in helping families meet their various needs.
It is ideal for organizations (non-government, faith-based, civic, and businesses implementing family-friendly policies and programs), dioceses, parishes, local government units, schools (public and private), and school-related organizations involved in parent formation and education, guidance counseling, and family counseling.
To be delivered via hybrid mode, the FLE Program will be offered twice in 2025:
1st run: February 1 to June 21, 2025 (Saturdays only)
2nd run: July 12 to November 29, 2025 (Saturdays only)
Apply through this link: https://tinyurl.com/FLEProgram. Individual interviews will be scheduled as soon as the application form is received.
For inquiries, email SED at [email protected].
