Messages from the Director and the principal

Puspos ng biyaya at kagalakan ngayong 2011 - 2012 sapagkat marami ang nagtiwala sa pamamaraan na ginagamit at programa na isinusulong ng Paaralang Tugdaan. Bunga nito, patuloy na pinagyayaman at ibinabahagi sa ibat ibang pamayanan sa buong Pilipinas ang kakayahan ng Tugdaan. Dahil dito, nagpapasalamat ang Tugdaan. Sa mga taong nagtiwala at nagbigay ng lakas at inspirasyon na palalimin ang matinding paglalaan ng panahon para sa pangarap at kinabukasan ng mga mangyan. Ang taong ito ay isang taon na punong- puno ng pag-asa at buhay. Ang pag-asa na nagdadala ng inspirasyon na patuloy na pagyamanin at palaguin ang pagtataguyod ng katutubong edukasyon. Ang pagkilala at pagpapahalaga sa katutubong edukasyon ang siyang nagiging gabay at daan sa mas malalalim na pagsasaliksik sa mga Indigenous Knowledge System and Practices. Ito ang buhay ng paaralang na nagtataguyod ng katutubong edukasyon. Isang malaking bagay ang patuloy na pagbabahagi ng Tugdaan ng mga kaalaman at pamamaraan ukol dito. Dahil sa mga taong patuloy na nagtiwala at nagpahalaga sa sistemang pang edukasyong ginagamit ng Tugdaan, ito ay malaking karangalan para sa aming paaralan at sa buong pamayanan ng Paitan. Ang lahat ng aming tagumpay ngayong taong ito ay isang malaking hakbang upang patuloy na isulong at bigyang buhay ang katutubong edukasyon para sa mga kabataang mangyang nagnanais mahubog at maging daluyan ng pagbabago ng pamayanan at ng lipunang ginagawalawan. Kaya, maraming salamat sa mga taong naging bahagi ng buhay ng Tugdaan ngayong taong ito. Bunton Buwaywa!
