AN OFFICIAL  of the Department of Education has apologized for the error on a Math lesson aired recently.

Undersecretary Alain Pascua, in a Facebook post, admitted the error and the need for tighter screening of online lessons.

“Nasabi ito ng aking kaibigan na mula sa Batangas. Nasa Pangasinan ako at nagmo-monitor ng pagbubukas ng klase. Salamat sa kanya at nakita ko ang mali. Nang buksan ko ang aking Facebook, aba’y nag-viral na pala ang maling ito, at kung ano-ano na ang banat sa DepEd,” Pascua said on Facebook.

“Totoo pong may mali. Kaya minabuti kong mag-post para maituwid agad itong pagkakamali,” he added.

He said that the erroneous equation will be fixed once it is uploaded to the DepEd Commons and YouTube channel.

“Humihingi po kami ng paumanhin sa ating mga mag-aaral, sa mga magulang at teachers sa pagkakamaling it,” Pascua said.

He then thanked the critics for pointing out the mistake and expressed the importance of quality checks.
