K to 12 suspension sought amid school woes authored by Sen. Antonio “Sonny’’ F. Trillanes IV

Sen. Antonio “Sonny’’ F. Trillanes IV said yesterday the K to 12 program should be suspended until the government has resolved the current fundamental problems of the country’s education system as well as the projected problems it would encounter at the start of its scheduled full implementation in 2016.
These fundamental problems in the country’s education system include lack of classrooms and school materials, high student-teacher ratio and low salaries of teachers, Trillanes said.
Trillanes also cited the government’s unpreparedness to the threatened retrenchment of about 85,000 college professors and employees when the program starts in 2016.
As chairman of the Senate civil service and government reorganization committee, Trillanes said he has conducted a country-wide inspections and consultations on the K to 12 program.
Trillanes said the poor quality of the country’s system would only be solved by first addressing these fundamental problems.
“Once we provide a conducive learning environment, it’s going to reflect on the student’s performance in school,’’ he pointed out.
Trillanes also chided the government’s claim that it has already eradicated the classroom backlogs.
“That is not true. There are still a lot of schools which continue to use make-shift classrooms, or take shifts in using classrooms just to accommodate their students. This situation would even worsen once two batches of students would be absorbed in addition to the four levels of high school that we have now. In terms of school materials, students continue to share with each other with the ratio of as high as four students per module. This number will definitely increase as the K to 12 Program commences in 2016,” he said.

For me I would support this campaign kai mura raman ug gi lamog lamog sa gobyerno and pag implement ani nga educational program and they have to solve a lot of issues before they will pursue with this big change.....PUEDE MAN PERO kinahanglan pa ug taas nga preparasyon....

Just a thought, did the senator seek the program's suspension just now?
Why didn't he do it while it was still in the early stages of planning?
AFAIK, schools and other educational institutions are already preparing for the implementation program.

Good observation, Sir. Trillanes knows how to win. He won by sympathy votes in 2007 election, and he'll probably win in 2016 the same way.
