MOST is an annual movement of Rotary Club of Makati Dasmariñas which recognizes and gives awards to Makati public school teachers who demonstrate excellence as professionals. Our MOST program has been in existence since our club was chartered in 1994.

We provide immediate response to the urgent need to prepare teachers from Luzon to Mindanao to teach online through webinars on “Pedagogical Foundation in Virtual Learning” providing teachers basic knowledge and skills in teaching online, enhancing teachers’ competencies in addressing the learning needs of students during this time of pandemic. We select from among those trained teachers the RCMD Most Outstanding Online Teacher.

STEM Talks is an initiative by the Rotary Club of Makati Dasmariñas under one of Rotary International's focus areas which is to support education. STEM Talks is a series of career talks that is designed for high school students and centered on Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics. In these talks, industry leaders share their experiences and lend their thought leadership and expertise to the youth. RCMD aims for STEM Talks to happen in a different school every month to be able to reach as many of the youth as possible.

Ever year, in tandem with various government agencies working in education, we provide an English Proficiency traning course for Public School teachers.
