Department of Education Urges Congress to Prioritize Key Measures

DepEd Calls for Priority Legislation

The Department of Education has urged Congress to prioritize several legislative measures, emphasizing the need to amend existing policies related to school-based feeding programs and the Government Assistance to Students and Teachers in Private Education (GASTPE) Act. This call came during a recent session of the Legislative-Executive Development Advisory Council.

Focus on School-Based Feeding Programs

Officials reported that revising the school-based feeding programs is crucial to improving the nutritional support provided to students across the country. These programs, which aim to enhance student health and learning outcomes, require updates to ensure they are more effective and inclusive.

Enhancing the GASTPE Act

Community members noted the importance of amending the Government Assistance to Students and Teachers in Private Education Act. Such amendments could expand access to quality education by providing better financial assistance to both students and educators in private institutions.

Legislative-Executive Development Advisory Council Meeting

During the meeting, presided over by the President, various stakeholders discussed these priorities, underscoring the critical role legislation plays in supporting education reforms. Local leaders highlighted the urgency of these measures to address current challenges faced by learners and teachers alike.

Looking Ahead

As the Department of Education calls on lawmakers to act swiftly, community advocates remain hopeful that these legislative priorities will pave the way for more inclusive and effective education programs. The collaboration between government branches is seen as essential to achieving these goals.
