Among the resource speakers were Shiekh Nash P. Yusof Alhaj; Shiekh Norden Husain Alhaj, and Dr. Esmael Abdullah. All of them are core members of the Tarbiyyah Technical Working Group (T-TWG) that were tasked to design and present the First Bangsamoro Strategic Plan on Education and Culture Development 2017-2035. 

Education is not only important, but it is also a long-life struggle, an ever continuing process of learning. It is a learning progression beginning at birth and ending only with death. Seeking of knowledge is obligatory to every individual. In the context of Islam, education is regarded as a process that involves the complete person, including the rational, spiritual, and social dimensions. The comprehensive and integrated approach to education in Islam is directed toward the balanced growth of the total personality.

The Tarbiyyah players encouraged the Bangsamoro community to open up a Tahderiyyah Learning program to serve as a kindergarten school for the Bangsamoro children that can meet the envisioned “Balanced and Quality Education for All”.
