CEBU CITY, Philippines — Neither Governor Gwendolyn Garcia nor the Cebu Local School Board (LSB) has the power to impose the medium of instruction for public elementary and high schools in the
This was the clarification of Dr. Salustiano Jimenez, OIC regional director of the Central Visayas office of the Department of Education , following the announcement of the governor that all public schools in Cebu province would revert to English as the main medium of instruction starting School Year 2020-2021.
Jimenez said that for any amendment of the curriculum to be implemented, the law must be amended first.“For the Department of Education, if there is an order coming from the Central Office, we will implement. But we will not just follow any order from other departments or other agencies because we are not actually directly under them.
RA 10533 says that: “The curriculum shall adhere to the principles and framework of Mother Tongue-Based Multilingual Education which starts from where the learners are and from what they already knew proceeding from the known to the unknown; instructional materials and capable teachers to implement the MTB-MLE curriculum shall be available.
Garcia said the present setup of teaching subjects in the mother tongue had been invoking mediocrity among Filipino students, including Cebuanos.
