Defining the News
Sen. Sonny Angara on Thursday announced his plans for the Department of Education Secretary post, which he is set to take over on July 19.
The senator noted how progressive countries excel in their education system by focusing on math, science and technology, and reading as their foundation. He said he does not believe that Filipinos lack creative thinking as shown in how Filipinos excel across industries around the world. This is contrary to the recent PISA study where the Philippines lags in creative thinking skills, with a score of 14 over the global average of 33.
Angara also plans to provide better benefits toward teachers as “instructed by the President.” He will look into the benefits and loans of teachers by asking financial institutions to prioritize their “preferential treatment” in accessing them.
