Vice President and Education Secretary Sara Duterte on Wednesday insisted that the call of ACT Teachers party-list for hiring 30,000 new teachers and constructing 50,000 new classrooms yearly is impossible.
Duterte also accused the party-list group of turning a blind eye on gunfights near schools involving communist rebels.
“The Department will not surrender or fall for the mad ruse of a party-list group that has mastered the art of duplicity,” she added. “The real victims here are the learners, and the Department of Education is pouring in all our efforts to solve the problem,” she added. “Malinaw sa kasaysayan na kaya itong magawa, ibukas lang sana ang isipan at 'wag puro red tagging ang inaatupag," she added.
