The Ramon Magsaysay Award Foundation (RMAF) will be featuring the transformative solutions of the Magsaysay laureates to champion Inclusive Education. 

The whole month of February, this will highlight some of the Ramon Magsaysay awardees’ solutions in “ensuring that all learners have access to quality education that meets basic learning needs, respects diversity, and enriches their lives” and their communities.

Aguilar, the Asian Institute of Management, the Asian Institute of Technology, Fei Xiaotong, Hermenegild Joseph Fernandez, Noboru Iwamura, Hasanain Juaini, Bienvenido Lumbera, Ohm Dae-Sup, and Bienvenido Lumbera.

The awardees championing Inclusive Education came from an array of backgrounds and their solutions targeted different aspects of education. Some focused on primary education, literacy, medium of instruction, better formal and informal educational systems, specialized training courses, alternative learning systems and techniques, cultural bases of education, and research.
