The lack of school infrastructure and facilities remains to be the basic education’s primary problem up to this date, Vice President and Education Secretary Sara Duterte said Monday.

During her presentation of the Basic Education Report 2023, Duterte acknowledged the need to build and repair school facilities in order to accommodate the learning needs of millions of students in the country.

There are more than 28.4 million students enrolled in 44,931 public schools and 12,162 private schools nationwide in the current academic year. Another challenge that Duterte pointed out with regard to infrastructure was that schools are not calamity-proof, thus prone to earthquakes, typhoons, landslides, flooding, and even armed conflicts.

Duterte also mentioned that DepEd is seeing a decline of enrollment figures in private schools, prompting some of them to stop their operations.As a solution to all these issues, Duterte discussed that as part of its “MATATAG” education agenda, DepEd is committed to take steps to improve the delivery of basic education facilities and services.

Di ba sila yong teachers (kuno)? Sila mismo dapat tanungin if quality ba yong pagtuturo. Noong elementary pa lang ako, maliit sin ang sahod ng mga teachers. Gasira lang ilaw noon. Magagaling naman ang mga teachers. Ngayon puro wokeism, communism na lang inaatupag nila eh. No left behind policy. Bawal mag bagsak ng studyante because it may affect their mental health..ending ay ganito..
