Deped 11 official: Educ has improved

DEPARTMENT of Education 11 (Deped 11) said the education sector in the country has improved under the administration of President Rodrigo Duterte.

“We are happy that the President of the country, including the Education Secretary, are doing a lot for the teachers, reviving the strong unity among the education sector that was temporarily lost in the previous administrations,” Deped 11 Spokesperson Jenielito Atillo said.

With the efforts of the present administration towards public school teachers such as salary increase, additional benefits, and increased resources for teaching materials, Atillo said these have helped the education sector to be more dedicated in giving quality education to the

Filipino students.

He said Deped 11 will continue to perform satisfactorily even with the recent information received that the Department’s budget for next year may be reduced.

“For now we are contented of what the administration has given to us. We know that even when our budget will be decreased, the government will continue to support our sector,” Atillo said.

Meanwhile, Deped 11 is conducting a simultaneous celebration today for the World Teachers’ Day with all of its District Offices and public schools in Davao Region.
