Education Secretary Sonny Angara expressed dismay on Friday over a P12 billion reduction in the Senate’s proposed budget for the Department of Education in 2025.“Sa amin almost P12 billion yung na-cut. Karamihan o yung bulk noon na P10 billion ay para doon sa computerization program ng Department of Education ,” said Angara in an ambush interview.He emphasized the importance of computers in modernizing education and equipping teachers and students with essential technological tools.
“We prioritized human resources. Ang kaguruan at mga estudyante ang puso at diwa ng sektor ng edukasyon, hindi ang mga kompyuter. This is why we more than doubled the budget for teaching supplies allowance from P4.825 billion in 2024 to P9.948 billion next year,” she said.“We also took note of COA's finding that only 50% of the 2023 budget for the Computerization Program was utilized.
