PGMA meets stakeholders in the education sector in Cebu
Released 12/14/2007
CEBU CITY---In a move to make the Philippines more competitive in the 21st century, President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo met with the stakeholders in the education sector in Cebu province last night to set up the mechanisms needed to further improve the country’s educational system.
Presidential Adviser on Education Mona Valisno said the President, being an educator herself, is doing everything to provide the people, especially the youth, with good education which, she stressed, is the key to the country's full economic development and the attainment of freedom by many Filipinos from the bondage of poverty.
“This is precisely the reason the President has been focusing on education,” Valisno said, adding that the President wants graduates to be “employable, meet the needs of the industries” and globally competitive.
Presidential Management Staff (PMS) Director–General Cerge Remonde said the Arroyo administration has an “ongoing move on how to further improve the country’s educational system.”
He said the Cebu meeting was the second of a series of meetings with stakeholders in the education sector. The first meeting was held in Manila.
Remonde said Cebu is the education center in the south, thus the meeting last night at Malacanang sa Sugbo.
Among those present in the meeting were members of the Coordinating Council of Private Education Associations (COCOPEA) led by University of San Carlos President Rev. Fr. Roderick Salazar, Commission on Higher Education (CHED) Commissioner Saturnino Ocampo, and Valisno.
The President has listed education as one of her top priorities at the start of her fresh six-year term.
“Education is the foundation of economic prosperity and individual liberty, justice and self-worth. That is why in the government, we will continue to invest in new school construction at the elementary school level and bolster our college scholarship program for those high school students ready for higher education,” the President said in her speech at the 45th anniversary celebration of Angeles University Foundation in Angeles City, Pampanga on Wednesday evening.
