[Taiwan Immigrants’ Global News Network] To enable young people in the Philippines who are not currently enrolled in school to continue their education after work, Taiwan External Trade Development Council collaborated with award-winning Taiwanese manufacturers to construct mobile classrooms and tiny trucks that were transported into isolated rural areas.
The Philippine group Seed4com came up with the idea for the "Mobile Classroom Tour to Remote Villages" project. It was a standout at the previous year's global public welfare event, which was put on by the Bureau of Foreign Trade, MOEA of Republic of China (Taiwan).
The Philippines is made up of 7,640 islands. The Seed4com team discovered that students from local disadvantaged families must support their families and frequently drop out of school. In order to provide education for young people who are not in school, they proposed the "Mobile Classroom" idea, driving the "Mobile Classroom Truck" to rural areas, providing vital resources for adult education.

In addition to working with teachers supported by the Philippine Department of Education, the Bureau of Foreign Trade, MOEA of Republic of China (Taiwan) collaborates with several award-winning Taiwanese technology manufacturers to travel to remote villages in the Philippines and offer digital learning, life skills, and entrepreneurship courses to out-of-school individuals.
The mobile school has assisted many dropout teens, according to Bing Apawan Bautista, a teacher backed by the Philippine Department of Education, who also expressed gratitude to Taiwan for its enthusiastic creation of the mobile classroom.
