“A daily 30 minute school on the air program will be launched in August.” this was confirmed by Nutrition Program Coordinator Rhodora Maestre in her meeting with Radyo ng Bayan Station Manager Sanny M. Lopez.

Paaralang Panghimpapawid or Nutrition School on the air will soon invade the airwaves with its aim to bring across messages on good nutrition and efforts of the government to address hunger and malnutrition to the general public.

The radio program shall have three batches of classes. The first batch will start on August 6, 2012 to pilot listeners of Tuguegarao City. Initially, Barangay Nutrition Scholars will each recruit five (5) mothers to enroll in the radio program.

Enrollees may register through text or email to be part of the class, and just like in school, they will have to listen regularly and pass the quizzes every module for them to graduate. A designated Barangay Nutrition Scholar or City Health Office staff will monitor and accept answers from enrollees.

In line with this, the NNC Region 02 and DWPE Radyo ng Bayan is set to have a 1 day orientation to Barangay Nutrition Scholars and City Nutrition Committee of Tuguegarao City for the successful launch and conduct of Nutrition School on the Air in the region.
