Education Program
"We need to add two years to our
basic education. Those who can
afford pay up to fourteen years
of schooling before university.
Thus, their children are getting
into the best universities and the
best job after graduation. I want
at least 12 years for our public
school children to give them an
even chance at succeeding."
-President Benigno S. Aquino III

developing learning materials to be able to
implement the MTB-MLE program properly
especially that there is a dearth of printed and e-
materials in the mother tongue of the students.

active in class and learn a second
language even faster when they are first
taught in a language they understand.

introduced for SY 2012-2013:

Bahasa Sug, Bikol, Cebuano,
