The Manila Standard – Mi and Banking and Enterprise for Children

From the Manila Standard:

The April 12 agreement, which will seek to instill among school children the positive Filipino values of pagkamasinop, pagkamatipid, pag-iimpok, and pagkakaisa, will put on stream two components of the project. The first is to develop for the elementary schoolteachers teaching guides that will inform them about basic financial and economic concepts relating to savings. The second is to provide them with training on how to integrate these concepts in the curriculum of primary schoolchildren.
……. The school was founded and is operated on the Theory of Multiple Intelligences formulated by Harvard University’s Howard Gardner. Speaking of his impressions of the school during his first and, as of now, his only visit to the Philippines in February 2005, Gardner, in his book, Multiple Intelligences: New Horizons, wrote: “at the M.I. International School Foundation in the Philippines, I saw impressive integration of MI ideas under a rubric of education for understanding”.
