Lenovo awards Xavier University
XAVIER University’s (XU) Ateneo Night School Program was recognized by Lenovo as an Outstanding Tech Visionary at the recently concluded 16th TAYO (Ten Accomplished Youth Organizations) Awards ceremony.
The XU Night School leverages technology to provide alternative education to drop-outs, out-of-school youth, and street children living in Cagayan de Oro City.
The program, which started in 2016, aims to provide youth access to education and help them pass the Department of Education’s ( DepEd) Acceleration and Equivalency test (A&E), which will allow them to return to formal schooling.
The XU Night School program is a 10-month curriculum based on DepEd’s Alternative Learning System (ALS) modules, further enhanced with lessons that ensures holistic development.
