EXTEND DEPED ENROLLMENT TO JULY 15, ACT-CIS REP. TULFO APPEALS
Nananawagan po ako sa Department of Education na i-extend pa ang kanilang online enrollment, remote enrollment, at drop box enrollment hanggang July 15, 2020.
Ayon sa DepEd, 15 million students pa lang ang nakapag-enroll as of June 27. Malayo ito sa lampas 27 million na dami ng estudyante nitong nakaraang school year.
Nangangamba po ako na kung tatapusin na agad ng DepEd ang enrollment sa June 30, milyung-milyong mga bata ang magda-drop out o titigil sa pag-aaral sa darating na school year. Sa K to 12 pa lamang iyan. Hindi pa kasama ang milyong iba pa na baka tumigil sa pag-aaral dahil sa kawalan ng trabaho at pagbagsak ng mga negosyo.
Nananawagan din ako sa Department of Finance at Department of Budget and Management para kanilang i-prioritize ang pagpondo sa DepEd, CHED, at TESDA.
Malaking krisis sa edukasyon ang mangyayari at tatagal ng maraming taon kapag hindi masagip ang mga estudyante.
Over 10 million students dropping out of school now would be a crisis that would mean more poverty for Filipino families in the years to come and would deal a severe blow to the country’s economic recovery.
Millions of college dropouts would erase much of the free tertiary education gains achieved prior to the pandemic. The human resource impact on business and industries would be felt just months from now, worsening the unemployment situation.
Failing to help the education sector now would have a crippling impact on our economy and it could ripple through decades and generations. (END)
