Hinimok ni Senador Alan Peter Cayetano ang 20th Congress na umaksyon para sa \u201cradical change\u201d sa basic education \u2014 kabilang sa K to 12 curriculum \u2014 upang tugunan ang matagal ng problemang bumabagabag sa sistema ng edukasyon sa bansa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tugon ito ni Cayetano, bilang chair ng Senate Committee on Higher, Technical, and Vocational Education at co-chair ng Second Congressional Committee on Education (EDCOM II), sa privilege speech ni Senador Paolo Benigno \u201cBam\u201d Aquino hinggil sa basic education, kung saan binanggit ang mga isyu sa K to 12.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI think the task of this 20th Congress is really the radical change that is needed in the education sector… I say all of this with passion because I saw it before my eyes \u2014 kung ano y\u2019ung successful at ano ang mga dumudurog sa ating sistema. The solution is there but we have to be radical,\u201d ani Cayetano sa Senate floor nitong nakaraang.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ayon kay Cayetano, ang kakulangan sa silid aralan sa buong bansa na umabot sa 165,000 ay maaaring lutasin ng Kongreso sa pamamagitan ng desisyon sa education budget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe 165, 000 classroom shortage was mentioned by EDCOM\u2026 The Department of Public Works and Highway\u2019s budget is P1 trillion. Do you want to end the lack of classrooms in a year? If per classroom costs P1 million, that accounts to only P165 billion \u2014 almost half or two-thirds of the DPWH budget,\u201d aniya.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pinuna rin ng senador ang mga bigong pangako ng K to 12, kabilang ang specialized track para sa high school student at paglipat ng General Education (GE) subjects mula kolehiyo sa high school upang paikliin ang kolehiyo sa tatlong taon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe promise in K to 12, even in first year high school, junior high school, there’s already a track\u2026 Another promise is that for the GE subjects, we’ll transfer that to high school so that the colleges are promised to be cut to three years,\u201d aniya.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hindi ito ang unang pagkakataon na tinutulan ni Cayetano ang programang K to 12. Noong 2013 nang ipasa ito bilang batas, isa siya sa mga senador na bumoto laban rito.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inulit niya ang kanyang posisyon noong 2022 kung saan binatikos niya ang matamlay na implementasyon ng K to 12. Sabi pa niya, \u201cwe have to either i-suspend ang K to 12 for five to 10 years until we have enough resources, or fund the K to 12 now as it was envisioned.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Binigyang diin din niya na ang puno\u2019t dulo ng krisis sa edukasyon ay sa basic education. Aniya, nakakadagdag sa problema ang kakulangan sa oras ng pag-aaral ng mga estudyante, at mga kakulangan sa mga guro at pasilidad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn Metro Manila and many highly urbanized places, job matching, et cetera is still far away. Why? There are no more classrooms, teachers. Most of them don’t have tablets or Apple computer labs or anything like this. Nag-additional two years ka pa (sa K to 12), pero half day ka naman sa klase. Ano iyon, diba? The problem is really much, much more basic. The bigger part of the problem goes back to pre-K to 12,\u201d paliwanag niya.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ginamit ni Cayetano bilang halimbawa ang scholarship program ng Lungsod ng Taguig, kung saan sa kabila ng malaking tulong ay nananatiling mataas pa rin ang dropout rate dahil sa mataas na gastos sa pag-aaral.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn Taguig, we have a 100 percent scholarship program. If you graduate from high school, we’ll automatically give you P15,000 to enroll, whether it’s for TESDA (Technical Education and Skills Development Authority) or college. If it’s a center of excellence like UP (University of the Philippines), we’ll give you P50,000. If you’re a teacher or a police officer, we’ll give you P80,000 to P120,000 to enroll for a Masters degree,\u201d wika ng senador.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBut check our dropout rates. It’s still comparable to other places. Because our scholarship program and our full scholarship, that’s only 30 percent of the expenses. The out-of-pocket amounts to 70 percent, which is still massive,\u201d dagdag niya.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kaya naman nanawagan si Cayetano sa Senado na gumawa ng mahihirap na desisyon sa 2026 education budget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLet\u2019s make the hard decisions and put our money where our mouth is,\u201d wika ng senador.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
