Assistant Majority Leader
MEDIA ADVISORY:

UNA ANG EDUKASYON SOLON TO DELIVER PRIVILEGE SPEECH ON FEB 5, 2018 ABOUT THE STATE OF CHED

1-Ang Edukasyon Representative Salvador B. Belaro, Jr. is scheduled to deliver a PRIVILEGE SPEECH to discuss educational concerns that require immediate attention of the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) following the resignation of Dr. Patricia Licuanan as Chair and Karol Mark Yee as Executive Director.

The speech will be delivered during the regular session of the House of Representatives at the House Session Hall, Batasan Hills, Quezon City. The session will start at 4PM.

The privilege speech follows the filing on Monday of a proposed resolution calling for an investigation, in aid of legislation, into possible merging of Department of Education, CHED, and Technical Skills and Development Authority into one agency.

The merging could be made attuned to the need for synchronization of the country’s educational policies in view of the implementation of the K to 12 program, the Free College Education Law, and the ASEAN Integration, among others.

In this regard, special mention on the possible provisions of the law to be amended is Sec. 5 of RA 7722 which confers upon the Commissioners of the CHED a fixed term when all their counterparts at the DepEd and TESDA serve at the pleasure of the President. (END)
