NANINIWALA si Senate Committee on Basic Education, Arts and Culture chairman Sherwin Gatchalian na magiging epektibo sa Department of Education si vice presidential bet Sara Duterte-Carpio.

“I will recommend to her DepEd, Department of Education. Again, we go back to the mandate. She is given more that 60 percent of the votes. In terms, of political capital that’s huge. That’s a lot of political capital she can use to reform our education system,” pahayag ni Gatchalian.

Ipinaliwanag ni Gatchalian na maraming dapat baguhin sa sistema ng edukasyon at maisasakatuparan ito ng isang opisyal na mayroong malaking political capital.

“Our education system needs reforming, we need to fix many many things. Just to go back again, we came in last in the PISA result, we came last in many many international results. And we cannot do business as usual in the next 6 years,” paliwanag pa ni Gatchalian.

“Someone should take charge and reform many of our processes and systems in order to improve our education system so I will recommend to her Department of Education,” dagdag ng senador.

Gayunman, binigyang-diin ni Gatchalian na dahil din sa mga karanasan ni Inday Sara sa lokal na pamahalaan ay malaki ang magiging kontribusyon nito sa Department of the Interior and Local Government o sa Department of Social Welfare and Development.

“But, in my opinion what’s important right now is to use her political capital. Make use of that, exploit that, make that effective in things that we need a lot of reform because in political capital you can do many many things. In my opinion, education is one of those sectors that we need to push many reforms.”
