SENATOR  Bong Go expressed support for measures which seek to ensure the safety and well-being of Filipino students amid the Covid19 pandemic and in times of other crises or disasters.

Go  also urged the government to prioritize safeguarding the Filipino youth during this pandemic.

“Our children’s safety and well-being are of utmost importance and it is our responsibility to ensure these, not only in this time of Covid19, but also as we usher in the ‘new normal’ that comes with it,” he said.

Go said it is high time that bills dealing with improving policies in education and learning in the ‘new normal’ including pandemics education and disaster awareness and preparedness in schools’ curricula be approved.

The senator also urged fellow lawmakers and educational institutions to ensure that the education system will become more proactive in dealing with and preparing Filipinos for crises and calamities.

“Bukod dito, dapat sakop din ng ating mga polisiyang pang-edukasyon ang kahit anumang krisis o sakuna na maaaring dumating. Let’s be more proactive in our legislation so that we can prepare better,” said Go.
