Legarda co-launches learning videos for grade 2 students
Senator Loren Legarda is urging for immediate and effective measures to improve literacy and foster cultural pride among Filipino youth, asserting that global competitiveness starts with strong reading comprehension and a firm sense of identity.
Legarda highlighted the critical literacy crisis among Filipino children, citing the 2022 Program for International Student Assessment (PISA) and a 2024 World Bank study which revealed that 91% of 10-year-old Filipino children struggle to read and comprehend age-appropriate stories.
To combat this issue, the National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA), with Senator Legarda's support, has collaborated with the Knowledge Channel Foundation, Inc. (KCFI) to develop "Wikaharian 2."
"Wikaharian 2" is an innovative educational video series specifically designed to make learning the Filipino language, culture, and values engaging and accessible for young learners, particularly Grade 2 students.
This animated series serves as a continuation of the first 50 episodes of a Grade 2 Filipino series that was produced in 2022.
