The neglect of PH education: Where do we go from here?

Oktubre 5, 2021

The Philippines is one of two remaining countries in the world that have not reopened schools and conducted in-person classes.

This is aggravated by the administration’s budget mispriorities, where it allocates more for infrastructure projects than education.
