MANILA, Philippines — According to President-elect Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr., the incoming administration is preparing for a big “catch-up” in the fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) in the education sector.

“The new government, the new administration, especially in the DepEd, will emphasize the importance of what we term STEM… That is one of the primary areas in which our Department of Education will focus, as well as how to improve instruction for our children and pupils “In a combination of Filipino and English, he remarked.

Marcos also mentioned the need for technical skills in maintaining the country’s competitiveness in economics and innovation.

“Unfortunately, we do not perform well in comparison to other nations when it comes to our educational attainment in Mathematics and the Sciences,” he continued.

Former DepEd Secretary Leonor Briones had previously argued that blended learning should be preserved because students must be able to adapt to digital changes and technological demands.

Meanwhile, the Department of Education (DepEd) released its first-ever medium- to a long-term plan, Basic Education Development Planning (BEDP) 2030, on Friday last week, to give the future administration with a “roadmap for better basic education quality and delivery.”
