The Marcos administration has earmarked about PHP15.2 billion for various programs offered by the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority in 2024 to fulfill its commitment to fostering education and holistic skills development for Filipino youth.
She added that an additional PHP200 million in education assistance would be funneled through the Private Educational Student Financial Assistance Program to provide training fees and allowances for 9,708 students and 8,737 graduates. Pangandaman said about PHP3.2 billion would be used to fund the Training for Work Scholarship program, an initiative that is designed to offer targeted skills training to address gaps in knowledge and fulfill the necessary job requirements identified by priority industries and sectors.
She also noted that TESDA is committed to launching a strategic initiative known as the Special Training for Employment Program to address the pervasive issue of poverty within the informal sector. Meanwhile, she said the Tulong Trabaho scholarship initiative, a program devised to combat unemployment and discrepancies in job skills, would also receive a budget of PHP1 billion to provide Selected Training Programs to the expected 48,653 program enrollees and 43,787 potential graduates.
“Access to quality education will also be at the forefront of the government’s education agenda through the Universal Access to Quality Tertiary Education,” she said.
