The pool is part of the the measures under the Academic Recovery and Accessible Learning (ARAL) Law, which directs government to implement “a free national learning intervention program that will tap teachers and para-teachers, and pre-service teachers or those students enrolled in a teacher degree program offered by Teacher Education Institutions to help struggling learners attain the competencies set by the agency.”

Pasig Rep. Roman Romulo said the tutors will be assigned to mentor schools and help them make sure learners catch up competencies like reading comprehension, mathematics and science.
