As we all know, education is the key in order to be successful in life. Even though we see this as part to change our lives, the Lumad see education as a weapon to resist against the oppressive and unjust system towards national democracy.

COVID-19 pandemic exposed the rotten colonial, commercialized, and anti-democractic system of education.

And the state isn't making a comprehensive plan in order to help the students and the rest of the academe to continue education amidst pandemic without compromising the physical, emotional, and mental health of the community.

Contrary to the claim of the reactionary forces of the state, the Lumad Bakwit School is a legitimate institution for Lumads promoting a curriculum inclined to a 'nationalist, scientific, and mass-oriented' education system.

This July 17, despite the relentless attacks of the state to the Lumads and its negligence to the masses because of the pandemic, the Lumad Bakwit School will commence its moving up ceremony as they proudly presents the new batch of Lumad graduates.

Join us in this remarkable ceremony together with the Lumad graduates. Stay tuned for the updates.
