TO SUPPORT the region’s young science students, a lawmaker from the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao has proposed a bill to establish the Bangsamoro Science High School.

Bangsamoro Transition Authority member of parliament Aida Silongan said that BTA bill 203 aims to improve the high school science curriculum in BARMM.

The BSHS will be established in Parang town, Maguindanao.

Under the proposed “Bangsamoro Science High School Act of 2022,” qualified students who are interested in pursuing a career in science will be given scholarships.

Silongan, also Science and Technology minister, said that the measure will ensure that BSHS complies with or surpasses the requirements of the existing Philippine Science High School System.

The lawmaker also wanted the school to incorporate value-based instruction to strengthen the connection between science and religion.
