SUMMARY:INNOTECH Seminar Series on Education\, Innovation\, and Technology | August 2026
DESCRIPTION:Theme: The Many Faces and Facets of Socio-Emotional Learning for School Safety & Security \n\n\n\nSpeaker: Dr. Joel C. Javiniar \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nSEAMEO INNOTECH convened the Seminar Series on Education\, Innovation\, and Technology on 5 August 2026\, featuring Dr. Joel C. Javiniar\, Dean of the College of Education\, University of the Philippines Diliman. His presentation\, “The Many Faces and Facets of Socio-Emotional Learning for School Safety & Security\,” explored the role of socio-emotional learning (SEL) in creating learning environments where learners feel safe\, supported\, valued\, and engaged. \n\n\n\nDr. Javiniar emphasized that academic achievement and learner well-being should not be treated as competing priorities. He described SEL as the “heart of education\,” highlighting the importance of educating not only the mind but also the heart. He explained that SEL develops learners’ capacity to understand and manage emotions\, set positive goals\, demonstrate empathy\, build healthy relationships\, and make responsible decisions. He further stressed that SEL need not become an additional subject\, but can instead be intentionally integrated into everyday teaching and learning. \n\n\n\nThe discussion also broadened the concept of school safety beyond physical infrastructure. Dr. Javiniar highlighted physical\, psychological\, and digital dimensions of safety\, and presented SEL as relevant across prevention\, preparedness\, response\, and recovery. In this context\, teachers serve as a critical protective layer for learners by fostering positive relationships\, listening actively\, practicing inclusive and fair approaches\, and building classroom environments characterized by trust and belonging. \n\n\n\nThe session also highlighted the importance of a whole-school approach involving teachers\, school leaders\, parents\, families\, and communities. Dr. Javiniar shared practical ways of embedding SEL into school life\, including regular emotional check-ins\, reflection routines\, strengthened guidance and anti-bullying mechanisms\, attention to teacher well-being\, and the integration of empathy\, teamwork\, and resilience across existing learning areas. \n\n\n\nNotably\, Dr. Javiniar featured SEAMEO INNOTECH’s Contextualized Social and Emotional Learning Competency Framework for Filipino Learners\, developed with ChildFund. He highlighted its Filipino framing of SEL through concepts such as pagkilala sa sarili\, pamamahala sa sarili\, pagsisikap\, pagiging responsable\, pakikisama\, and pagmamalasakit\, demonstrating how socio-emotional competencies can be understood within the experiences and values of Filipino learners. \n\n\n\nUltimately\, the presentation underscored that the measure of education extends beyond what children know to whether they are able to learn\, grow\, thrive\, and flourish in environments where they feel safe\, seen\, heard\, supported\, challenged\, and inspired. As Dr. Javiniar concluded\, “Students learn best when they know they matter.” \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nResources\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAccess the Full Presentation

SUMMARY:INNOTECH Seminar Series on Education\, Innovation\, and Technology | September 2026
DESCRIPTION:Theme: How Much Are Skills Worth? Skills\, Tasks\, and the Misallocation of Filipino Talent \n\n\n\nSpeaker: Dr. Michael Ralph Abrigo \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nSEAMEO INNOTECH convened the Seminar Series on Education\, Innovation\, and Technology on 3 September 2026\, featuring Dr. Michael Ralph Abrigo\, Senior Research Fellow at the Philippine Institute for Development Studies (PIDS). His presentation\, “How Much Are Skills Worth? Skills\, Tasks\, and the Misallocation of Filipino Talent\,” examined how the skills demanded by work in the Philippines have evolved and what happens when workers are unable to fully put their capabilities to productive use. \n\n\n\nDrawing on Philippine census and labor force data spanning more than a century\, Dr. Abrigo showed how Filipino jobs have shifted from work relying more heavily on physical skills toward occupations requiring greater technical\, interpersonal\, and transversal skills. Tasks have likewise moved toward more cognitive and non-routine work. However\, he noted that the Philippines still has room to move further toward higher-value cognitive occupations\, particularly when compared with some regional and aspirational peers. \n\n\n\nA central message of the presentation was that developing skills is only part of the challenge. Dr. Abrigo explained that workers may face personal\, institutional\, cultural\, and everyday barriers that make certain skills costly to use. These “skill deployment costs” can influence occupational choices\, preventing people from working in roles that fully utilize their capabilities even when those skills have value in the labor market. \n\n\n\nThe study estimated that the resulting misallocation of Filipino talent could be associated with productivity losses of as much as 9.5 percent of GDP annually. Dr. Abrigo also highlighted differences in the costs of deploying skills\, including gender-differentiated barriers affecting the use of technical and transversal skills. These findings point to a broader challenge: investing in education and skills development must be accompanied by conditions that enable people to use what they have learned productively. \n\n\n\nDuring the open forum\, Dr. Abrigo further emphasized that addressing talent misallocation extends beyond the education sector alone. While education and training interventions remain important\, he noted that barriers to skill use can arise from everyday circumstances\, including care responsibilities and transportation\, requiring a broader community and policy response. Reducing these barriers can help workers better translate their capabilities into productive employment and economic value. \n\n\n\nThe session reinforced the connection between education and the world of work in preparing people for a rapidly changing environment. For education systems\, the discussion highlighted the importance not only of developing future-ready skills\, but also of understanding whether learners will eventually have meaningful opportunities to apply them. As Dr. Abrigo summarized\, “Building these skills\, investing in getting these skills\, having these skills are not enough. We need conditions that allow us to actually use these skills productively in the economy.” \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nResources\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAccess the Full Presentation
