President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. appointed Duterte as DepEd secretary, saying she would fulfill her job well because she is a mother and “she wants to make sure that her children are well-trained and well-educated.”

As education secretary, Duterte ordered all schools in the country to shift to full face-to-face classes by November 2.
