Angara a perfect choice, but faces heavy burden as new Education chief | Jovee Marie N. de la Cruz, Claudeth Mocon-Ciriaco, Butch Fernandez and Andrea E. San Juan

THE health secretary, lawmakers and business groups on Tuesday hailed President Marcos Jr’s selection of Sen. Juan Edgardo Angara as the new Education Secretary, calling it a perfect choice for a sector in crisis, but said he had a lot on his plate because of this.

The Teachers’ Dignity Coalition was not too happy, though: the DepEd Secretary should ideally be an educator or someone from the academic sector with public school teaching experience, it said. “We urge the new secretary to face the challenges and problems of the K-12 program head-on and overhaul the system. The program has been fraught with issues since its implementation, and it’s high time for a comprehensive review and necessary reforms,” Castro asserted.

Speaker Ferdinand Martin G. Romualdez emphasized Senator Angara’s rich experience and dedication to public service, underscoring his suitability for the critical role of leading the DepEd.
