After a significant decrease in 2020 due to Covid-19-related school closures, enrollment has since started to recover.” However, she noted that recovery in enrollment is limited only to public schools.Currently, the DepEd is responsible for almost 80 percent of schools nationwide—of which, 79 percent are elementary schools.
“For Senior High School [SHS], our work immersion program has contributed to a high passing rate of 90 percent in the National Certificate assessment administered by TESDA [Technical Education and Skills Development Authority].” While the K-12 curriculum promised to produce graduates that are employable but she said,“That promise remains a promise.”The teachers, Duterte said, are the lifeblood of DepEd, noting that without them, the mission to carve a better future for the children “will fail.”
