DAVAO CITY – More than 200 persons attended the K-12 caravan-forum held at the RDR Gym in Davao del Norte Sports and Tourism Complex on Wednesday.
Division Superintendent Cristy Epe of the Tagum City Schools Division in a Philippine Information Agency dispatch said the caravan will erase apprehensions on the new educational system.
“It is about securing our future and this is how we secure our future through the K to 12 in general and senior high school in particular,” Epe said.
DepEd Region XI Director Atty. Alberto Escobarte said the forum “brings into the open all education related issues, concerns and status of the preparation of our divisions and schools for the next school year.”
Escobarte said he hopes this “can be an avenue for getting additional feedbacks, inputs and recommendations about the implementation of the senior high schools.”
He said everyone should be involved in the implementation of the K-12 “as this does not only concern teachers”.
Meanwhile, provincial Governor Rodolfo del Rosario said K-12 is needed “if we are to keep pace with the regional growth in the coming ASEAN Economic Integration.”
The caravan was also participated by the divisions of Davao del Norte, Panabo City and Island Garden City of Samal. (davaotoday.com)
