The Province of Aurora successfully concluded the conduct of the Sangguniang Kabataan Mandatory Trainings (SKMTs) for the 8 local government units (LGUs) of Aurora from November 10 to 12, 2023, congregating an approximate 1200 newly-elected Sangguniang Kabataan (SK) officials in the Province.
The SKMT is a pre-requisite for all newly-elected SK officials in the Philippines before they assume office.
The major objective of the program is to equip the newly elected youth leaders in the community with essential knowledge about Republic Act No. 10742, which is also referred to as the Sangguniang Kabataan Reform Act of 2015, as amended by Republic Act 11768.
Furthermore, the mandatory training seeks to promote social ideals like nationalism and patriotism while promoting meaningful youth participation in local governance.
Decentralization and Local Governance, SK History and Salient Features, Meetings and Resolutions, Planning and Budgeting, and Code of Conduct and Ethical Standards were the five components that made up the entire activity.
MLGOOs in the 8 municipalities served as resource persons and program committee during the conduct of the said mandatory training.
