MANILA — Bongbong Marcos Jr., the president, made a commitment. stated he will strengthen the Philippine educational system in order to better train workers on the “technical side.”
Marcos asserts that the Philippines will attract “more sophisticated” foreign investors by requiring technological proficiency and high-quality education in schools.
He continued by saying that his administration was determined to keep up its investment in young people by giving them access to essential education.
“We must continue to make them competitive anywhere in the world but most hopefully in the Philippines with our partners and with our allies,” said Marcos.
“And that will galvanize our young people to continue to work in that direction. That I think is something that will come naturally if we are able to do all of the things that we are hoping to do to transform the economy, to adjust now,” he added.
Trixie Cruz-Angeles, the press secretary, shared a video of Marcos ordering the Department of Education to give students the training they need to be “productive members of society.” on her Facebook page.
“Hindi tayo makakaunlad kung hindi skilled ang ating workers, kung walang talino or walang kakayahan. So, sa basic education pa lang, pinangako ng Presidente na hindi niya titipirin ang ating learners,” Cruz-Angeles said.
