LVE started in 1997. After a formal
presentation of
the
Living Values Guidebook took place, great interest arose in
different
fields to work with values. LVE was presented to six private schools and one public school
which
led to piloting in the
German school, Maria Inmaculada Catholic School, the American
School
Saint
Andrews. It was at the Catholic School of Maria Inmaculada that LVE had
the greatest impact and the school is now taken as an example for
the
Educational Community.
Inspired by the radical change of attitude of the teachers,
students
and parents, the school Principal based her thesis for University
Master's
degree on LVE and received the highest grade and honours.
She was asked to share her experience with UNICEF, Educational
Organizations and two Universities which then were motivated to
implement
values in their curricula and different projects and programmes.
The number of teachers trained: about 1243.
Organizational involvement: UNICEF, Educational Reform, Ministry of
Education,
Universities such as Universidad Santo Tomas, Universidad Catolica,
Universidad de Aquino, Government (Inrra) and Kindergarten.
Number of Sites Using Living Values Education
Total number of sites
26
This includes schools,
Universities, Jails, Government Office (Inrra), Snap (Public
administration), Cemse (Centre of educational programmes and
projects.)
Impact
Sister Cecilia Amparo Gill, the Principal of Maria
Inmaculada
school, was so inspired by the positive change of attitude of the
whole
community,
that she decided to base her University Master's degree on LVE;
she
graduated with the highest honours.
