Briones welcomes Sara Duterte's prospective DepEd post
Education Secretary Leonor Briones expressed readiness to work with incoming Vice President Sara Duterte for a smooth transition of leadership at the Department of Education (DepEd).
Briones stated that she and the DepEd family are prepared to collaborate with Duterte's team to ensure an orderly handover.
She conveyed confidence that DepEd will be in capable hands under Duterte's leadership, anticipating a continuation of existing plans.
Briones highlighted that the outgoing administration will leave behind the Basic Education Plan 2030, the first medium-term plan of its kind from an outgoing administration.
Meanwhile, Vice Presidential candidate Walden Bello voiced concerns that Duterte's potential leadership might lead to the militarization of DepEd, drawing parallels to the Philippine Military Academy.
