TESDA Launches “Kurso Para sa Basurero”

The Trade Education Skills and Development Authority (TESDA) added a new course in their program, but this time, it’s not selling well, especially to its target audience.

“Kurso Para sa Basurero” or “Course for Scavengers” aims to educate people who are living off scavenging for useful materials in dumpsites.

The subjects include Garbage Collection, and Sanitary Landfill. Anyone who graduates according to the agency will have a title of Sanitary Landfill Facility Site Foreman, or Professional Garbage Collector.

In several months of study according to TESDA, students can learn how to:

• Monitoring, parking, cleaning the equipment
• Checking dumped wastes
• Overseeing the cleanup of littered singes
• Eliminating environment risks and hazards
• Learning the proper use of masks, gloves, and boots

According to Atty. Teodoro Pascua, Deputy Director General of TESDA Operations, someone who is able to have this course can increase and develop more self confident, and to uplift his dignity.

But TESDA’s plan may seem to fail as most people who used to do their daily chores are not interested to study.
