00:00Meanwhile, Senator Sonny Angara answered some issues that he will give priority as incoming Education Secretary.
00:07Here's the news of Maris O'Malley.
00:10According to the new Education Secretary, Senator Sonny Angara, he was called to Malacanang to tell him that he was chosen to replace Vice President Sara Duterte.
00:23According to his marching orders from President Marcos, the international standing of the Philippines in the Program for International Student Assessment or PISA should be increased.
00:32Also, there should be an improvement in teaching history to students.
00:35We were told about history, not to focus too much on memorization, but to understand what really happened, why it happened, and making history interesting for our young people.
00:54This is the second term of Senator Sonny Angara, that's why he can't run for re-election in the upcoming election of 2025.
01:01Because Senator Angara is the new Deputy of DepEd this month, it's time for the reopening of the class.
01:08This is one of the first things that he will give priority at the beginning of his term of office.
01:14In the interview of GMA Integrated News, Angara said that he is already coordinating with the field of Outgoing Education Secretary Duterte for a proper turnover in the government.
01:23According to Angara, he will continue the initial review of the visa for the streamlining of the curriculum.
01:29Senator Angara is one of the authors of the Enhanced Basic Education Act or the K-12 program that is currently being reviewed by DepEd.
01:36We will continue whatever review was started. But there is a law, so at the end of the day, the Congress will be the one to decide the policy direction.
01:47As the highest policy setting body, we will have to follow whatever the law dictates.
01:52One of the controversies faced by Vice President Sara was her request for confidential funds for DepEd.
01:58I think Vice President hasn't asked for confidential funds for the last two years. So I don't think it will be necessary.
02:07One of the requests of the teachers is to increase their salary and allowance for their 2025 elections.
02:15Of course, we support any pending measures like we supported the increase in the teaching allowance. We are one of the authors of that.
02:25So anything that will help improve the compensation and the benefits of our teachers, we are 100 percent supportive.
02:32As for the request of private schools to increase the salary...
02:35There are costs. However, the department can help our schools, whether public or private.
02:42That is our mandate under the legal system, the complementarity. We are constitutionally mandated to support the schools irrespective of whether they are public or private.
