Parents plays a huge role in pupils’ education. Children learn all their first steps from  their parents. From walking to producing familiar words, parents are there to guide them. In order to bring parents’ closer to the school community, Cuneta Elementary School came up with numerous proactive activities that aims to close the gap between school and pupils’ home. With partnership with the GPTA Officers, CES conducted a training on dish washing liquid making on September 5, 2017. This project aims to create a livelihood program that will benefit CES pupils.

Headed by Focal Person, Lorena A. Aliperio and Assistant Focal Person John D. Liban, Project ZeDro (Zero-Dropout) came to life. The project aims to identify the major causes of CES dropouts and hopes to address it with innovative intervention. With the support of  current school head, Genalin S. Ong, Project ZeDro became the center of CES ongoing project for pupils’ overall improvement in their academic and individual skills.

Through this project, CES Parents and Teachers Association (PTA) came up with a livelihood program that will give financially challenged parents a training on how to produce dishwashing liquid. The principal invited a skilled speaker from the dishwashing industry to teach parents necessary steps in making the product. She also gave tips and reasonable price range in which the dishwashing could be sold for.

The PTA came up with a plan to also reproduce dishwashing liquid in order to fund the Project ZeDro. Volunteered parents also came up to help in mass producing said product. CES teachers showed their support for the project by lending their hours in helping parents.
