President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr. on Monday reaffirmed his commitment to investing in the country's education sector as well as its learners.
"We will build infrastructure that will provide our learners, teachers, and the entire academic sector with a healthy and safe environment that is conducive to learning," Marcos added. He said teachers would be offered multiple opportunities that would meet their personal and professional needs. "And it is up to us to support them in that effort because they feel the need to educate young people. And we are blessed that we have such teachers and we should hold them close and do all we can to support them so that they can do, to the best of their ability, what they have pledged to do," he added.
