Marcos said his administration is also determining the status and the needs of the DepEd, whose sector receives the highest allocation from the national budget every year as required by the 1987 Constitution. Meanwhile, the Catholic Educational Association of the Philippines said it respects the decision of Vice President Duterte to resign as DepEd secretary.
In a statement, TDC chairman Benjo Basas said Marcos should consider appointing an academic or a person with experience in public school teaching as Duterte’s replacement at the department. “Most importantly, the new secretary must take proactive steps and actively advocate for the enactment of pending bills aimed at significantly increasing teachers’ salaries.”To improve learning outcomes, the government must increase the budget for the School Voucher Program and devolve basic education to local government units , the Foundation for Economic Freedom recommended yesterday.
