Education Secretary Sonny Angara has intensified the Department of Education’s (DepEd) execution of executive directives under President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., focusing on teacher welfare, classroom construction, learner safety, and Senior High School (SHS) job readiness. The initiative aligns with the administration’s broader educational reforms, as outlined in a DepEd statement released on Tuesday (newsinfo.inquirer.net).
Angara emphasized the importance of improving infrastructure and ensuring the well-being of educators to enhance the quality of education. The DepEd has prioritized the completion of classroom projects and the reinforcement of safety protocols in schools. Additionally, efforts are being made to align SHS curricula with market demands, preparing students for employment.
The move reflects the administration’s commitment to modernizing the education system and addressing long-standing challenges in the sector. Angara has called for continued collaboration with local government units to ensure the successful rollout of these initiatives.
