Gov't eyes on pre-school program for quality education
Released 12/27/2007
Iloilo City -- There is a proposal that the government's pre-school program must include children enrolled in Day Care Centers said Education Secretary Jesli Lapus, stressing that the program targets to cover 1.8 million private and public school pupils nationwide, including the 28,000 pupils in public schools without pre-school.
The Malacanang press report disclosed that President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo met with the stakeholders in the education sector to set up the mechanisms needed to further improve the country's educational system.
President Arroyo conducted a series of meetings with the education sector "to feel how the stakeholders in the education sector are thinking in improving our education system".
The President has listed education as one of her top priorities at the start of her six year-term. She said that "our administration has spent more on human capital formation than any other administration in the past," and stressed that "education is the foundation of economic prosperity and individual liberty, justice and self-worth".
During the fourth meeting conducted recently, CHED Chairman Romulo Neri said that the President has time and again stressed the importance of quality education in uplifting the lives of the poor and improving the economy and that she wanted to leave a legacy of better education to the younger generation.
Secretary Lapus on the other hand said that about 52 percent of teachers in Mathematics and Science need retraining.
Also discussed during the President's meeting with the education sector was the issue on the retraining of teachers in English in a move to improve the English proficiency of students, Secretary Lapus said. (PIA)
