Take your studies seriously, Angara urges students

- Paolo Romero

Now that public education from kindergart­en to college is free, students should take their studies seriously and work toward becoming productive citizens, Sen. Sonny Angara said yesterday.

The reelection­ist senator made the call as most schools ended their academic year in recent weeks.

“As students, your responsibi­lity is to study hard because that’s your passport to employment and good life,” Angara said.

“Education is a great socioecono­mic equalizer and a stepping stone to something higher and brighter,” he said.

Angara co-authored the free college education law and the free kindergart­en law.
