DepEd, partners reaffirm commitments dedicated to language, inclusion

“We have made significant strides to strengthen our inclusion programs, and we vow to continue these efforts until everything is in place for our learners to flourish, so that they have equal opportunities to learn, grow, and be in a positive and non-threatening environment,” said Vice President and Education Secretary Sara Duterte during the first-ever Language and Inclusion Summit held last week.

Duterte said that DepEd will also review the implementation of the Mother Tongue-based Multilingual Education Policy “guided by the principle that, among others, learners learn when taught in a language that they understand.” DepEd, she added, will also work with regional offices and partners to facilitate the development of learning resources for special needs learners, specifically visually and hearing-impaired learners.

To strengthen its inclusive education programs, including the alternative learning system, last-mile schools, and programs for IP learners, learners with disabilities, and Muslim learners, Duterte said DepEd “will endeavor for all learners, regardless of their backgrounds, to afford quality learning opportunities and services.”“I humbly ask our teachers to maintain their fervor in teaching,” she said. “May you serve our learners in disadvantaged situations with compassion,” she added.
