The Department of Education (DepEd) vowed to intensify this year its efforts to achieve its goal of quality education for all Filipino learners.

In a recent Facebook post, the education agency noted that the year 2019 saw “our gains in access and our shift to quality in basic education as we prepare our learners for the challenges of the 21st century.”

The year 2019 was also a year of firsts for other DepEd’s initiatives, such as the first regional assembly of education leaders in February, the first teenage pregnancy summit dubbed “Kapit-Kamay: Empowering the Youth to make Informed Choices” in August, and the first National Summit on the Rights of the Child in Education in November.

Last Mile Schools is a two-year program. According to DepEd Undersecretary for Administration Alain del Pascua, the agency will be concentrating on this program in 2020 and 2021. “The two-year program will focus first on facilities, then on infrastructure – we’ll construct the schools first and after one year, the content such as furniture, textbooks, computers, electricity, and so on will come in.

Before 2019 ended, the quality of education in the country was highlighted following the results of the 2018 Programme for International Assessment which showed how poorly Filipino learners fare in reading, mathematics, and science literacy.
