MANILA, Philippines — Vice President and Education Secretary Sara Duterte is set to deliver the Department of Education’s (Deped) Basic Education Report for 2023.

In the report, Duterte will present the current challenges and the sector priorities of the agency, DepEd said on Monday.

“Gusto natin ilahad sa general public kung ano talaga ‘yong current state of education kasi po lagi natin naririnig na ang daming challenges ng basic education,” DepEd spokesman Michael Poa said in a statement.

(We want to present to the general public the current state of education in the country because we always hear about the many challenges in basic education.)

“So, dito po natin iisa-isahin sa publiko kung ano ‘yong mga specific challenges ng basic education,” he added.

(So, this is where we will outline to the public what are the specific challenges in basic education.)

Apart from the report, DepEd will also launch a new call to action for all Filipinos.

“It’s really to give the public an idea of the steps that this administration will take and also the direction of this administration towards resolving issues in basic education,” Poa said.
