To establish foundational skills and boost the learning capacity of young Filipino learners, an advocacy group on Saturday, June 10, called on local government units (LGUs) to invest in early childhood care and development (ECCD). | ManilaBulletin
“It is critical that we build basic skills while they are young as these will make them better learners,” said Philippine Business for Education Executive Director Justine Raagas.
Unicef underscored that ECE not only prepares children to participate in primary education and beyond but also mitigates the risk of school failure. The KLT results showed that laggards of Grades 1-2 from Cebu had a 122 percent increase in reading scores and 33 percent increase in Math scores; while Kinder 1 and 2 pupils from Himamaylan increased their literacy skills by 233.3 percent and numeracy skills by 507.1 percent.
To push this initiative on a national scale, PBEd expressed support for Senate Bill No. 150 or the Academic Recovery and Accessible Learning Program Act to bridge the learning gaps through formative assessments that will help tailor instruction to the unique learning needs of students.
