The Senate and the Congress have ratified the Bicameral Conference Committee report on the K to 12 Basic Education Reform program, needing just President Aquino’s signature to make it a law of the land.
He explained that the Bill, which is a product of extensive consultations with multiple stakeholders, provides DepEd with the legislative support to continue the reforms it has started and intends to pursue in close coordination with the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) and the Commission on Higher Education (CHED).
“We eagerly await the President’s signature on this important reform in our educational system which was part of his campaign promise,” added Luistro.
Luistro pointed out that DepEd will work even more assiduously to ensure that the implementation of this Basic Education Reform program will be sustained and institutionalized even beyond the Aquino administration.
