A teachers’ group on Friday, Feb. 17, stressed that the education decline in the country cannot be averted for as long as only half of the needed budget is given to address the existing and emerging challenges in the education sector.
The Alliance of Concerned Teachers Philippines, in a statement, pointed out that the call should foremostly be addressed to the top echelons of government, which only give education half of the needed budget.
“We say, for as long as the government only provides for half of the needs of education, the learning crisis cannot be averted,” Quetua said. “We teachers have for so long been giving it our 200 percent as we shoulder responsibilities that are no longer our duties and spend out-of-pocket to fill in the gaps, just so that education can continue,” Quetua said.
