Senator Sherwin Gatchalian is seeking a national impact evaluation of the Mother Tongue-Based Multilingual Education (MTB-MLE), 10 years after the K to 12 Law mandated the implementation of the policy. | ManilaBulletin

According to Gatchalian, the national impact evaluation should answer whether or not the MTB-MLE policy improved early grade literacy in mother tongue, English, and Filipino.

The impact evaluation should also identify the long-term effect of the MTB-MLE on learning and non-cognitive outcomes from key stages 2 to 4, he said. The senator said that the policy might be discriminatory against learners who are not fluent in the regional language chosen as the medium of instruction.

The senator emphasized the case of Marahan West Elementary School in Davao City where Sinugbuanong Binisaya is the mother tongue used as medium of instruction.
