00:19The Department of Education confirmed that they are now focused on filling unfilled positions in various schools in the Philippines
00:28so that the quality of education in the country can also improve.
00:34It was past 9 o'clock this morning when the House Committee on Appropriations' Oversight Meeting
00:41on the Budgetary Performance of the Department of Education this year and last year was held.
00:49The DepEd officials and other resource speakers were present at the hearing.
00:54According to the hearing, it can be discussed if the agency used the budget of the Congress of the past 100 years
01:02or if there is a need to add or fix it as part of the preparation for the budget season this year for the National Fund in 2025.
01:11At the beginning of the hearing, House Deputy Minority Leader Franz Castro blamed the issue
01:18regarding the unfilled positions of teachers and non-teaching personnel in public schools in the country.
01:25Castro said that teachers are one of the reasons why students have problems in the learning process.
01:33Yesterday, as the school year started in many basic education schools in the country, Castro also visited some schools in Metro Manila.
01:41Here, he saw the overload of teachers' work that should be addressed in order to avoid exhaustion and to provide higher quality services to the teachers.
01:52Castro also raised the issue of substitute teachers or the replacement of temporary teachers to teachers on leave
01:58who should be given a sufficient salary and benefits.
02:02In the hearing here in the House of Representatives, other issues were also discussed in the schools.
02:07In the case of DepEd, they insisted that they will continue to improve the state of education in the country
02:14as well as the benefits for teachers and non-teaching personnel.
02:18They also said that their efforts in addressing the unfilled positions in their ranks have been fruitful.
02:23According to the House Committee on Appropriations, under the proposed 2025 National Budget,
02:29the priority sectors of the government are still the priority sectors of education.
02:34That's why they reminded DepEd to make the most of it and to use it in the best way possible.
02:40As of now, the briefing or oversight meeting of the House Committee on Appropriations is still ongoing
02:48together with DepEd to discuss other issues as well as education in the country.
02:54At the same time, Naomi, there are also other issues here like the separate hearing on issues in the West Philippine Sea
03:01and also the issue of the land in the country. Naomi?
