These beneficiaries included 25 college students and 79 parents who participated in the program's 20-day implementation from May 4 to May 29. Under the TBTP, college students acted as tutors for young learners and facilitated parenting sessions for their parents. In return, each student received P12,000 in educational assistance, while parents received P4,700 each after completing the parenting sessions. The program, launched in 2023, aims to support low-income college students in education and social work fields by providing cash-for-work compensation in exchange for tutoring elementary school learners facing challenges in reading and comprehension. This year, the program was implemented across Calabarzon, benefiting over 10,000 learners and parents.
