K to 12 key to social economic development - Salceda

Albay Governor Joey Salceda expressed his full support to the government’s K to 12 program amidst calls for the Supreme Court to declare the program unconstitutional.

Salceda said it is necessary to add 2 years to the current basic education program to give Filipino graduates a chance to compete in the international labor market.

“Number one talaga para sa kabutihan ng ating mga graduates kasi kung kulang din naman talo sila sa international labor market so hindi sila napo-promote. Sa dami naman ng graduates natin taun-taon na umaabot ng 450,000, kulang sila ng dalawang taon, so kailangan talaga matugunan natin,” Salceda said.
