The approval came with 14 affirmative votes and 2 negative votes during a joint hearing discussing various bills related to EDCOM 2's duration.
This extension aims to ensure the continuity of reforms and build upon the work of education experts and public servants.
EDCOM 2, established under Republic Act No. 11899, was tasked with evaluating the Philippine education sector's performance.
