New Mexico State University responded to a grass roots stakeholder initiative by developing and implementing a Food Technology program. Since 1993, the Extension Home Economics Food Technology program has assisted food producers in the state by providing information on food regulations and with services such as process review of acidified foods and analysis for nutritional labeling. Food processors receive direct technical assistance for product development, labeling and marketing of new food products.
It is nice to know that in some other countries, their are institutions which uses their knowledge regarding Home Economics and Food Technology to help their countrymen be aware of the new information on food regulations.In this manner,we can see the the sense of unity among these people really exist. They do not establish the sense of crab mentality as witnessed in some other countries. This kind of attitude is very plausible. And in the end, the know that all of them will still sow what they reap. They helped one another because in time, everybody will be benefited.

Home Economics Careers and Technology (HECT) education programs prepare students for living in the twenty-first century and earning a living in careers. HECT education prepares students to become positive, productive members of the workforce, families, and the community through two complementary instructional programs: Consumer and Family Studies (CFS) and Home Economics Related Occupations (HERO); and FHA-HERO, the career-technical student organization for HECT students.
At the elementary school level, students begin developing an awareness of HECT education, including key topics in CFS and related careers. In the middle grades, six through eight, courses provide an opportunity to explore personal life management skills and careers related to HECT.
At the high school level, CFS courses provide a foundation that enables students to pursue a career pathway option through a HERO program in one of eight areas. HECT education programs should include three components: CFS, HERO, and FHA-HERO. Instruction is designed to include the two complementary instructional programs that integrate FHA-HERO leadership and career development activities.
Consumer and Family Studies programs provide students with life management, transferable, and employable skills through instruction and leadership development activities. This program focuses on preparing students to balance personal, family, and work responsibilities.
It is nice to know that the subject Home Economics does not exist i the Philippines alone but in other countries as well. In this manner, these countries can also share their expertise on the said subject to some other countries. Each countries can join forces in improving the Home Economics subjects.

HELE or Home Economics & Livelihood Education is one of the subjects being taught here in the Philippines. It's all about Family, Culinary Arts, Industrial Arts , Agriculture, and, Entrepreneurship, and Personality Development. Basic lessons about the topics mentioned are discussed to grades four to six for elementary. Here, the learners learned skills that can be used at home and in everyday life situation.
The skills learned are useful skills. Starting from the development of a certain individual and how he/she can do his/her responsibility to his/her family, to community, and later to his/her country. This subject offers a lot of things that the students, at their young age can already make use of it, and can even earn and benefit out of it.
Therefore, we can say that the subject HELE (Home Economics and Livelihood Education) is really a good subject to be taught both in elementary, high school, and even in college.
This subject must not be subjected to be omitted nor replaced by other new subjects. They can just add new subjects but they should never think of deleting it. This subject may also be revised for improvements. And in any part that you will look at it, it is tested and proven that the HELE subject did a great job since it was implemented and it has gone a long way in affecting the lives of many people.

Filipinos are generally clean people.Every Filipino child is trained from his early years to keep his person clean. At home and in school, children are taught of maintaining cleanliness at all times.
One of the subjects being taught in school is Home Economics and Livelihood Education (H.E.L.E.) where girls are being trained early on to do household work making them capable of keeping house clean and tidy even when parents are away. To Filipinos the degree of cleanliness of your surroundings reflects on the kind of person you are. o everyone tries to make their houses and yards clean to avoid people seeing them in a negative light. Mothers teaches their childrenat all times. diligently about personal hygiene, menstruation and the proper way of keeping their bodies clean
In this manner, we can say that the HELE subject has a great impact in the lives of the Filipino people. At a very early age, school children are taught to clean their surroundings and even themselves. Although considered by some as very small and simple things cauht by the students at school, yet we cannot deny the fact the it greatly helps on the development of thexe children And if these things were done habitually and regularly, these will serve as part of their practice. And this practice is definitely very plausible.

Agusan National High School's Superb THE Teacher!!!

Laarni N. Huliganga defines teaching as a life, a mission and a God-given responsibility to serve Him and fellowmen.
As a Home economics Master Teacher of Agusan National High School of Butuan City, she devotes her time and effort for skills development not only for her students but also for her teachers. She spearheaded several skills and in-service trainings and served as a demonstration teacher and resource person in her areas of expertise. She also introduced significant instructional materials on several skills using local materials in the division of Butuan City and conducted action research on "Teachers Attitude Towards Mentoring Program in Technology and Livelihood Education" to identify the training needs of TLE teachers as her basis for programs and projects. As if these are not enough, she coordinates the livelihood in Barangay Libertad in Butuan City.
She is a consistent winning coach and trainer on table setting and skirting in the school, division and national level.
It is nice to know that as technology advances, there are teachers who cope up with these advancement. They do not just rely on the things that they grew up knowing. They still find ways to seek for new things which they can provide for their students.We cannot deny the fact that their are still teachers who still stick to the old ways of teaching. We are not saying that it is already ineffective to be used. It's just that it is over-used, and in a way, it seems to be left behind by the others and in in some ways, the information fed are somewhat not attached to the newest fact that the advance-world is giving us.
And with this, we should give acknowledgments and a two-thumbs up to the teachers who strive hard in order to meet the needs of their learners in this technology-ruled world that we have right now.
