‘A vote for quality education’: Former DepEd officials, staff endorse Leni-Kiko tandem
Former education officials, including six former secretaries and 90 other staff members from the Department of Education (DepEd), have officially endorsed the presidential and vice presidential bid of Leni Robredo and Kiko Pangilinan.
The group stated that Robredo and Pangilinan possess significant experience and a deep understanding of the education sector's challenges and necessary solutions.
They believe that electing the Robredo-Pangilinan tandem on May 9, 2022, would be a vote for quality education for all Filipino learners.
This endorsement follows a similar declaration of support from former chairpersons of the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) earlier in March.
The article also recalls Robredo's call in July 2021 to declare a 'learning crisis' in the Philippines, prompted by a World Bank report on the poor performance of Filipino students.
