A House leader on Saturday recommended Commission on Higher Education Chairperson Prospero de Vera and Synergeia Foundation president Milwida Guevara as possible candidates for Department of Education secretary.
“I have two names in mind for secretary: Popoy de Vera and Nene Guevara. Few have ever had an impact on the education sector as large as the impact these two people have had on the sector,” Albay Rep. Joey Salceda said. Salceda said De Vera’s push for funding for community colleges under the Universal Access to Quality Tertiary Education program “helped poor and underserved communities produce more college graduates than ever before.”“That changed the landscape for basic education because most community colleges produce teachers,” Salceda said.“We also worked together in keeping proprietary private schools alive during the pandemic.
He added that Guevara is “responsible for highlighting the structural defects of the education system and what needs to be done.” “It will be wise of to choose from these two. They’re the strongest hands in education,” Salceda said.
