00:00Not only did President Ferdinand R. Marcos, Jr. do what he did in his third State of the Nation Address,
00:08he also laid out the problems that the country is facing in various sectors such as education.
00:14This includes the low rank of the Philippines in their international assessment.
00:19But the President said that he will not stop to address the challenges in education.
00:24Therefore, our National Learning Recovery Program must proceed without the slightest disruption,
00:30especially in basic education.
00:33Our system of education must be strategically calibrated to make sure that our youth are not only taught to become literate,
00:41but it has also consciously developed them into problem solvers and into critical thinkers,
00:47hungry for success, ready for the future.
00:50In addition to the Chief Executive, the Digital Gap in Education is also being addressed,
00:55along with the effort to solve the lack of classrooms.
01:00The problem of textbooks should also not be ignored.
01:04The production of instructional materials, especially textbooks, which are up-to-date and error-free, must be ensured.
01:12The whole process from approval of manuscript to procurement all the way to distribution
01:18will be cut short from its present three years to just one year.
01:23His challenge to the new Secretary of Defense, Sonny Angara,
01:27who is committed to improving and improving the quality of education in the country,
01:31will only happen if the teachers' needs are met, which is the foundation of the educational system.
01:37We have increased the number of employees who will work with the teachers
01:42in order to support the various activities in the school.
01:46Now, our teachers will be able to focus on their teaching profession.
01:52The Congress is pleased that the Return to Teaching Act has been enacted.
01:58This will give teachers in public schools a year of teaching allowance
02:05to buy equipment for teaching and other expenses.
02:11Personal Accident Insurance from the GSIS and Special Hardship Allowance for public school teachers will also be added to this.
02:19The President also insisted that the debt of teachers should be stopped.
02:24Their debt should not be a barrier to renew their licenses.
02:30He also approved the government's fund for the implementation of the Expanded Career Progression System for public school teachers
02:38to help them advance their careers.
02:42This expanded system lays out two major career paths for our teachers to pursue,
02:48the teaching and the school administration tracks, each of which shall have ample career growth opportunities.
02:56With this system in place, we will accelerate the career growth of teachers.
03:01In this system, no public school teacher will retire, only Teacher One.
03:08The Teachers' Dignity Coalition approved the benefits mentioned by the President for the teachers.
03:14They only asked that the President's statement be made clearer.
03:18However, this is the area with the most detailed report in the education sector.
03:23The Philippine Business for Education is satisfied with the President's report
03:28in which the Executive Board proved its commitment to further enhance the potential of Filipinos,
03:34which is a major factor in the development of the country.
03:37The President also emphasized the international recognition of the higher education institutions in the country.
03:44Next is the ranking of the 87 higher education institutions in the World University Rankings,
03:5051 of which are for public institutions.
03:54He also mentioned the high enrollment rate in higher education,
03:58as well as in Technical Vocational Education and Training or TVET,
04:02which is a major factor in the employability of those who have completed it.
04:07Cognizant of its potential, the DepEd, CHED, DoLE, and TESDA have joined forces now
04:13to incorporate TVET in the senior high school curriculum to further boost the employability of our students.
