13 April 2023
Female Junior high school students prove that they are ready to break the long-standing gender biases of society and proudly wave the banner of women in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics as they join the newly-launched Tagisang Robotics Competition 3.0: Girls & Gears – the first and only all-female robotics competition in the country, courtesy of the Department of Science and Technology - Science Education Institute (DOST-SEI).

The Department of Science and Technology-Science Education institute (DOST-SEI) dedicates a special scholarship program for Marawi students, ensuring a stronger science culture in the region and strengthening S&T’s role in the city’s rehabilitation.
MARAWI RISES WITH MORE S&T SCHOLARS. DOST-SEI Director Dr. Josette Biyo (2nd from left, front) welcomes new Bangon Marawi scholars at the orientation and scholarship agreement signing held on January 31, 2023, at MSU.
THE ROAD TO MARAWI isn’t filled with product advertisements or political posters, but with an unusual number of banners congratulating graduates and board passers. Even first-time travelers get the message loud and clear – the Maranaos highly value education. It’s not surprising that after the 2017 Marawi siege, one of the most disheartening realizations for many residents is that it would be more challenging to finish education.
