The Provincial Government of Samar, together with the three DepEd Schools Division Offices (Samar, Calbayog City, and Catbalogan City), Samar State University (SSU), and Northwest Samar State University (NwSSU), formally entered into a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) to reinforce collaborative programs aimed at empowering Samarnon learners and youth.
The event marks the launch of two key initiatives: the Career Development Support Program and the Sports Development Program, both designed to open wider opportunities for students, enrich their skills, and strengthen support mechanisms across schools in the province.
Governor Sharee Ann Tan emphasized that the partnership reflects the province’s long-standing commitment to uplifting education and youth development.
“This collaboration ensures that our learners have the tools, guidance, and platforms they need to succeed—whether in academics, sports, or their future professions.”
