Book

For decades, the lack of accessible education in remote indigenous communities left vulnerable youth exposed to ideological exploitation and insurgent recruitment. Empowering Indigenous Youth Through Education explores how community-based initiatives can successfully bridge this gap. Focusing on the TATAG IP Students Foundation Incorporated (TIPSFI) in Talaingod, Davao del Norte, Philippines, this book provides an empirical look at how scholarships, cultural preservation, and stakeholder collaboration can protect marginalized youth, build ideological resilience, and foster lasting peace. An essential read for researchers, policymakers, and peacebuilders, this work offers a blueprint for transforming education into a powerful shield against insurgency.
