Schools are once again going to have Good Manners and Right Conduct (GMRC) classes, as Republic Act 11476, or the GMRC and Values Education Act, was signed into law Thursday.
MANILA, Philippines — Schools are once again going to have Good Manners and Right Conduct classes, as Republic Act 11476, or the GMRC and Values Education Act, was signed into law Thursday.
“The signing of the GMRC and Values Education Act is really timely, and I want to thank the President [Rodrigo Duterte] for his swift action on this important measure,” said Senate Majority Leader Juan Miguel F. Zubiri, principal author of the Senate bill.“I hope the Department of Education can work on the IRR in time for the opening of classes come August,” he added.
“Kids are going to be at home all day, learning in isolation from their peers. They’re not going to have the natural avenues for empathetic learning that springs from face-to-face interaction with their peers and with their teachers. Hopefully, a strengthened GMRC and Values Education program will make up for that.”
