Pres. Marcos Jr. SONA 2023 on Education

Here are the highlights of President Marcos Jr's SONA 2023 on Education:

Marcos on learning recovery: “Ang ating butihing Bise-Presidente, na Kalihim din ng Kagawaran ng Edukasyon, ay tumutulong upang tiyakin na ang bawat batang Pilipino ay mabibigyan ng nararapat at kalidad na edukasyon. We have renewed hope in giving the best to our next batches of students, especially the 28.4 million learners who returned to school this year. Learning recovery will be at the forefront of our education agenda.”
Marcos on shortage of classrooms: “The shortage of classrooms and facilities is being addressed. Aside from new construction, schools and facilities are being retrofitted to become ready for the future – ready for hybrid and high-tech learning, and also climate-ready and disaster-proof.”
Marcos on basic education curriculum: “We are recalibrating the K to 10 curriculum to ensure that it is always relevant, responsive, and at par with international standards.”
Marcos’ education agenda: “We will not let a student’s financial constraints be a hindrance to his or her education. We have activated social safety nets, such as skills development training and youth employment programs. Deserving and talented students without the financial capacity to attend school, will not be left behind in this education agenda.”
