Peer Meditation
Peer Mediation at the Department of Education
Ang Batang Tagapamagitan Program: Quezon City
The CoRe Group Foundation piloted the Batang Tagapamagitan Program (Peer Mediation)
for Elementary Schools in the country. 30 students, aged 9 to 12, of the Old Balara
Elementary School (OBES) District IV Quezon City underwent a specially designed
mediation training program to become student mediators. Since then, they have been
solving classroom disputes arising in their school. Of the 26 student disputes documented
within the first 2 months of implementation, 24 were successfully resolved through
Peer Mediation. By the end of the school year, 90.9% of the mediation cases reported
were resolved. The project was sponsored by the Conflict Resolution Group Foundation.
Ang Batang Tagapamagitan Program: Pampanga
The Batang Tagapamagitan Program (Peer Mediation) for Elementary Schools initiated
by the CoRe Group was expanded in year 2010. This time, a total of 200 grade school
students were trained in 6 schools across Pampanga. In order to spread the advocacy
further, we trained 36 college students and teachers to become peer mediation trainors.
A series of training of trainors programs were conducted in June and November of
2010. The project was sponsored by the Office of the Presidential Adviser on the
Peace Process and was conducted in partnership with the National Youth Commission
and the Department of Education Region III.
