On National Teachers’ Day, Senator Sherwin Gatchalian renewed his commitment to ensure providing quality education for all aspiring teachers in the country.
“Upang matiyak natin ang dekalidad na edukasyon para sa ating mga mag-aaral, kailangang iangat din natin ang kalidad ng pagsasanay at edukasyon na natatanggap ng mga guro, lalo na’t sila ang nagpapasa ng kaalaman sa ating mga mag-aaral ,” said Gatchalian, chairman of the Senate Committee on Basic Education.
It would also be mandated to establish a roadmap for teacher education, which will be submitted to the CHED for inclusion in the National Higher Education Roadmap.
