Reyes Tacandong Foundation partners with DCNHS
Reyes Tacandong & Co. Foundation, Inc. (RTCF) signed recently a Memorandum of Agreement with Davao City National High School (DCHNS) to provide the latter's Senior High School students access to online accounting courses covering the fundamentals of accounting. RTCF is the philantrophic organization of professional services firm Reyes Tacandong & Co. (RT&Co.).
RT&Co. is engaged in socially responsible projects through the RTCF in the areas of education, livelihood, and qualityof-life initiatives. It has a separate exclusive arrangement with online course developer Accounteach Learning Center (https://accountingmentor.net), to make the latter's online courses available to deserving public schools. RTCF identifies and chooses the schools to be provided with free unlimited access to the courses.
The courses are based on current guidelines issued by the Department of Education for the K-12 program, as well as Commission on Higher Education (CHED's) most recent curriculum for accountancy. Developed with the world's leading state-of-the-art authoring tool, the courses consist of interactive features and hundreds of quizzes designed to sustain learners' interest and motivation. The courses are available online anytime, anywhere across all devices. Schools do not need any investment computer laboratories or related hardware.
The course duration is for 180 days. Based on proper recommendation by a designated school authority, enrollment can be renewed by any number of times as long as the learned remains a student of good standing of DCNHS up to graduation.
"The offering of fundamental accounting courses in the K-12 curriculum has a significant effect on the way future professional will learn accounting. One's preparation for an accounting career now virtually starts in K-12. Such preparation should prepare the K-12 graduate for entry-level accounting work or prepare one for advanced accounting studies in college. We want to contribute to the early learning experience of future accounting professionals because everything starts with good foundation. We also hope to contribute our modest share in providing a costeffective resource where it is most needed," said RTCF president Protacio T. Tacandong.
