The Bureau of Corrections (BuCor) and the Polytechnic University of the Philippines (PUP) on Tuesday signed a memorandum of agreement aimed at addressing the behavioral modification needs of inmates and improving their chances of reintegration into society.
It was signed by BuCor director general Gregorio Pio P. Catapang Jr. and PUP Graduate School dean Dr. Elmer de Jose.
The initiative seeks to equip BuCor personnel with necessary skills and knowledge through comprehensive training programs developed by PUP faculty members and graduate students.
By providing technical expertise and resources, the university aims to enhance the quality of life for those under BuCor’s care while promoting community engagement.
Under the agreement, PUP will assess and recommend revisions to existing behavior modification modules to ensure their relevance and effectiveness.
The university will also provide training materials, facilitate workshops and monitor progress to ensure successful program implementation.
BuCor, in turn, is committed to supporting PUP’s initiatives by providing access to its personnel for training sessions and ensuring active participation in various activities.
