By: Nestor Corrales
Malacañang backs the Department of Education’s (DepEd) opposition to the
mandatory drug testing on students as young as 10 years old.
Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque said the Palace was taking the side of the
DepEd, which earlier opposed the move, citing that the country’s dangerous drugs
law only authorizes random drug testing for secondary and college students.
Secretary Briones said that the Dangerous Drugs Act prohibits drug testing on
elementary students. We can only have drug testing on high school students.
Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) Director General Aaron Aquino made
the proposal on Thursday to impose mandatory drug testing mandatory drug tests
on teachers and pupils Grade 4 and up, citing that they have rescued a child as
young as 10 years old from illegal drugs.
The proposal was met with criticisms from DepEd, some lawmakers, and teachers
group, citing it was “unconstitutional” and could cost the government billions of
pesos.

Mas de-kalidad na edukasyon, hatid ng K-12 program
by Angelli Catan Balita
Muling ipinahayag ni Department of Education (DepEd) Secretary Leonor Magtolis
Briones na pangunahing layunin ng programang K-12 ang mapaunlad ang kalidad ng
edukasyon sa bansa at “not solely to provide immediate jobs for its graduates.”
Ito ay matapos lumabas ang ilang balita na sinasabing “the program is a failure”
dahil karamihan ng nagsipagtapos ng senior high school ay hindi kaagad nakahanap
ng trabaho dahil sa skills-job mismatch.
“It is because your assumption is every single senior high school student will have a
job which is not correct because 61 percent or 700,000 to 800,000 of our graduates
plan to continue on to college,” pahayag ni Briones sa press briefing nitong Lunes sa
Quezon City High School.
Sinabi ni Briones na 28 porsiyento ng mga nagtapos, na kabilang sa technical
vocational strand, ay natanggap kaagad sa trabaho dahil sa “work immersion or on
the job training” na kinakailangan sa SHS.
Sa ilalim ng K-12 program, sinabi ni Briones na mas mabibigyan ng opsiyon at
oportunidad ang mga estudyante upang mapaunlad ang kanilang edukasyon at
kalidad ng pamumuhay.
