Marcos tells Angara: take care of teachers
President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr. directed incoming Education Secretary Sonny Angara to prioritize the welfare and financial support of teachers, emphasizing their crucial role in the Department of Education's (DepEd) success.
Marcos highlighted that teachers' ability to teach effectively is hindered if they are preoccupied with financial worries concerning their families.
The President stressed the need for teachers to be in a stable financial position so they can better concentrate on their actual teaching duties.
