Sen. Risa Hontiveros appealed to concerned government agencies to explore strategies to address out-of-school youth pregnancies.
“So out of school youth, teenage pregnancies on that regard, we might not be able to provide direct intervention if they are not part of the basic education system,” Galban said.“And salamat din po, Asec, sa pagbanggit nyo na, syempre, ang saklaw lang ng DepEd ay within the school premises. Kaya importante na yung CSE ma-implementa, ma-evaluate, continuously ma-improve, ma-iayos yung mali, mapuno yung gaps, also for out-of-school youth or community-based youth,” Hontiveros said.
Galban also emphasized that DepEd prioritizes the specialized training of CSE for the teachers that are handling the older demographics, particularly those handling the adolescent age bracket, as intended to by law.
