Former President Benigno Aquino III has vowed to continue pushing for educational programs despite challenges. In a recent statement, Aquino emphasized the importance of investing in education to secure the country's future. He highlighted past reforms and called for sustained efforts to improve access and quality in the Philippine education system.
"We must not waver in our commitment to education," Aquino said. "It is the key to unlocking opportunities for our youth."
The former president's remarks come amid ongoing debates over education funding and curriculum changes. Aquino's administration was known for implementing the K to 12 program, which added two years to basic education.
