8-12 linggong suspension sa regular academic program para tutukan ang mahina sa Math at... | 24 Oras

Summary

A proposal by some congressmen suggests a 12-week suspension of the Department of Education's regular academic program to focus on addressing students' struggles with Math and reading comprehension. A World Bank study reveals that one in three Filipino 10-year-olds cannot read or understand texts appropriate for their age. House Resolution 1805, spearheaded by House Committee on Basic Education and Culture Chair Roman Romulo and former Negros Occidental representative Francisco Benitez, aims to implement an intervention program for 25 million students. However, due to a teacher shortage, the Department of Education plans to initially target grade 7 to 10 students, excluding the rest from the 1.6 million target. After the 8-week program, an assessment will determine if further intervention is needed for students who still struggle with reading and Mathematics.
