Three American experts have trained Filipino educators in Project-Based Learning (PBL), a teaching method widely adopted in the United States where students learn by focusing on real-world problem-solving through hands-on projects, the US Embassy in Manila said on Wednesday, Nov. 19.

Dubbed "Moving Ideas to Impact: A Project-Based Learning Design Workshop," the training promoted PBL as a student-centered pedagogical approach rooted in the American educational philosophy that education must be active and connected to real life.
