On Tuesday (Manila time), President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. committed to enhancing the Philippines’ educational system by giving students the necessary skill training.

This came as Marcos acknowledged the need to put more emphasis on developing students’ abilities to prepare them for the workforce when they graduate.

Marcos asserted at the New York Stock Exchange Economic Forum that mandating technical competence and quality education in schools will entice “more sophisticated” foreign investors to locate their businesses in the Philippines.

In terms of the technical side, the technical side of training our personnel, we will still endeavor to strengthen the educational system, added Marcos.

Marcos made the declaration in recognition of the fact that Filipino workers are the nation’s “greatest asset,” particularly in supporting economic change and progress.

He claimed that his administration’s main priority is to keep “investing in our young people” by providing them with the necessary instruction.

In the Philippines, Marcos remarked, “we must continue to make them competitive anyplace in the globe, but most hopefully with our friends and our allies.”

“And that will inspire our youth to keep working in that way. If we are successful in doing everything we hope to accomplish to reform the economy and make adjustments now, I believe that will occur naturally.

According to a video posted on her official Facebook page, Marcos has ordered the Department of Education (DepEd) to provide students with the necessary training to become “useful members of the society.”

Cruz-Angeles promised that Marcos would make every effort to raise the nation’s elementary education standard.

If the laborers are not skilled, if there are no talinos or kakayahans, “Hindi tayo makakaunlad. Therefore, in terms of fundamental education, pinangako ng Presidente that, “We will not grow” if “Our workers are not skilled, not smart, and inept. Therefore, the President vowed that he would not ignore our learners when it came to basic education),” she stated.

Alfredo Pascual, the secretary of trade, had previously advocated for a reduction in the time needed to complete a college degree, pointing out that several nations that have successfully implemented the K–12 curriculum grant degrees after just two or three years.

To prepare graduates for tertiary education, middle-level skill development, employment, and entrepreneurship, the current K–12 program in the Philippines, which was implemented in 2012, consists of kindergarten, six years of primary education, four years of junior high school, and two years of senior high school.

According to Pascual, college courses should be career-focused and emphasize the necessity for graduates to possess the “particular traits demanded by jobs.”
