Education Undersecretary Tonisito Umali said it is still difficult to gauge the program's effectivity, given that the first batch of SHS graduates only finished the mandatory 12 years of basic education in March 2018.

REVIEW NEEDED. The Department of Education says it supports Congress's call to review the K to 12 program. Photo by Lito Borras/RapplerEnhanced Basic Education Act has been effective, specifically when it comes to graduate employability, Education Undersecretary Tonisito Umali on Monday, October 21.

The K to 12 program stems from the Enhanced Basic Education Act of 2013 signed into law by President Benigno Aquino III. “The number of students pursuing higher education increased since the Free Tertiary Education Act. It isn’t like before, when only half of high school graduates pursued college education when K to 12 was not implemented yet. We still need to study this increase in relation to the K to 12 program,” Umali added in Filipino.

Duterte to bring 'lean' delegation to JapanPresidential Spokesperson Salvador Panelo says President Rodrigo Duterte will not bring a lot of government officials with him on his current trip to Japan. Kasama ba yung mga laos na garapatang artista? With all the trashy people he already flew with to Russia, no doubt. 😂 Of course. The hangers-on will always claim they went there on their own (nagkataon/nagkasabay lang) and spent their own money, peks man. Same old refrain.
