Solons eye suspension of mother tongue as medium of instruction READ MORE:
Lawmakers said this is to address the patent lack of learning materials on mother tongue language in schools and to ensure the adherence to the constitutional mandate of providing quality education accessible to all learners in basic education.
The bill, however, provides that the Filipino Sign Language shall remain the medium of instruction for students with pertinent disabilities, and allows the continued implementation of the mother tongue in schools where it is assessed to be effective. Section 2 of HB 6717 mandates the DepEd to coordinate with the Komison sa Wikang Pilipino in developing books, teaching materials and other supplies necessary in the implementation of the use of the mother tongue language.
The proposed legislation also provides for the automatic repeal of the measure upon the approval of Congress of the assessment report and the certification of DepEd to Congress on the readiness of all the schools districts to implement the use of mother tongue as the medium of instruction for learners in kindergarten to Grade 3.
