Duterte urges DepEd to boost health education after doctor’s cancer warning
The government is aiming to boost health literacy among Filipinos to better understand, prevent, and respond to pandemic or disasters.
“For this purpose, I have given specific instructions to Education Secretary Leonor ‘Liling’ Briones to capacity our educators/teachers to have sufficient and reasonable information to help our citizens equip themselves with at least a basic level of health literacy skills to better respond to a pandemic or disaster, in particular the prevention of infection,” he said.
Under the proposed P4.506-trillion national budget for 2021 submitted to Congress, the education sector will get the largest slice of the budget with an allocation of P754.4 billion.
