The Philippines needs to redesign its curriculum to provide multiple pathways for students, the chairperson of the House Committee on Education said on Wednesday.
Studies showed that 30 to 36 percent of Grade 11 and Grade 12 students proceed to technical vocational education after they graduate from senior high school, said Pasig Representative Roman Romulo.
This is why the House Committee on Education is pushing for the Education Pathways Act to provide “multiple education pathways” for Filipino students, he told state television PTV. “Ang importante lamang ay pagkatapos ng grade 10, tama ang skills na nakukuha nila, tama ang certificate na nakukuha nila,” he added.
Under the proposal, the government will give industries more participation shaping the future workers of the country, the lawmaker noted.
