MANILA, Philippines – Aurora Representative Sonny Angara said that the Philippine economy will benefit from out of school youths if special technical, vocational and skills centers would be established for the sector.

Angara, according to a report on Radyo Inquirer 990AM Monday, said there are three million out of school youths that should be trained to become useful citizens.

Angara is the author of House Bill 2840, which mandates the establishment of at least one technical and skills training center for each province.

The center shall prepare and enhance the skills and capacity of out of school youths, aside from determining the skills demanded by the domestic market.

The Aurora representative vowed to focus on improving the education sector, said the report.  John Daryl Dimalanta
