Abstract

This paper provides a comprehensive analysis of the MATATAG Curriculum’s strengths and features, which are a breakthrough to the Philippine Education System, and how its features can transcend to the Indigenous People's Education. Pagkakasupeg Framework was the product of this paper, bridging Indigenous Peoples Education and MATATAG Curriculum. The framework contains two key stages that highlight Indigenous Peoples’ inclusion in the design and development of an IP-fit curriculum, empowering them to preserve their culture while educating their young community members and providing them with a sense of belongingness. The proposed framework will make the curriculum truly relevant and responsive to the needs and context of the learners. It utilizes a pedagogy that is empowering and creative. Thus, this paper aspires to adhere to the principle that no student (regardless of race, gender, and ethnicity) should be left behind.
