Strengthening Partnerships for Sports Development
The MSU CSPEAR – Department of Extension conducted a productive meeting with the BARMM MBHTE – Marawi City Division to explore opportunities for academic partnership and technical assistance in sports development.
The MBHTE Marawi City Division, headed by Schools Division Superintendent Sahanee M. Sumagayan, PhD, was actively represented by Assistant Schools Division Superintendent Sobaida Diron-Ampuan during the strategic planning session.
The proposed partnership aims to tap the expertise of Mindanao State University (MSU) as a resource institution, providing qualified speakers, trainers, and technical experts who can support the professional development of teachers and sports personnel of the MBHTE Marawi City Division.
Among the envisioned programs are:
Sports Clinics
Coaching Enhancement Programs
Technical Officiating Training
Capability Training for sports educators and managers
This initiative proudly aligns with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals:
SDG 3: Good Health and Well-Being – Promoting healthy lifestyles through physical education and active sports.
SDG 4: Quality Education – Equipping teachers and sports personnel with advanced skills and inclusive training.
SDG 17: Partnerships for the Goals – Collaborating with local institutions to maximize community impact and foster development.
We are incredibly excited to bring this vision to life and share our passion for physical education and sports excellence with the Marawi City community. Together, we are building stronger, smarter, and highly capable sports leaders!
