00:00 Today, we come together to address the state of education in the Philippines as reflected by the recent results of the Program for International Student Assessment, or PISA.
00:10 PISA has provided us with valuable insights into the strengths and weaknesses of our education system.
00:17 The PISA results lay their uncomfortable truth.
00:22 It has shown that a significant majority of our boys and girls fall below the proficiency level required for full participation in society and contributing to nation building.
00:32 The PISA results are not merely a reflection of our education system, it is a mirror reflecting our collective efforts, investments, and most importantly, our commitment to education and the future we envision for our children.
00:47 As such, this is a call to action, a call to our collective responsibility as a nation.
00:52 The Department of Education has started to take significant strides forward to address the issues of learning among Filipino children.
01:01 We have introduced the Matatan Curriculum, implemented the National Reading, Math, and Science Programs, initiated the Catch-Up Fridays for learners and teachers,
01:11 expanded the 2-Trip-a-Year Progression, pushed for transparent educational programs and practices, and started digitalization among our schools.
01:20 But we still need your support. We need every stakeholder to join us in this journey moving forward.
01:27 We may approach the solution differently, but we all agree on the destination.
01:31 Everyone's standards are founded and everyone is accountable for our children's future.
01:37 As a mother, I understand the transformative power of parental support we provide to our children.
01:42 The PISA results emphasize this. The kind of support we provide to our children's learning can make a significant difference in their success.
01:52 So, I just want to say a few things. First, the good news. Despite the pandemic, despite the struggles in pursuing learning and teaching in our schools, we did not progress.
02:07 That's one piece of good news.
02:10 Actually, I was really, really concerned that we might progress because I've seen on the ground the struggles of our teachers and principals in continuing and opening our schools and also continuing teaching our students despite the technological limitations and also a lot of limitations on the ground.
02:35 Another piece of good news, I think, and I was talking to Dr. Bianbiahe, that it seems to me that we have bottomed out already.
02:47 In the violence of finance, we've already hit the bottom. So, I think there's no way for us but to go up.
02:54 So, I expect that later on we'll be seeing improvements in our scores.
03:02 Of course, the bad news is we have stagnated.
03:07 Statistically, even though we've seen a little bit of improvement, statistically it's insignificant, meaning we have stagnated and that's a concern for us.
03:19 But now, we have a lot of upward movement, we have batch of Fridays, and we have many reforms in the pipeline.
03:27 Everything is looking up. So, we have all the reasons to smile and to be confident that we are on our way towards the right direction.
03:37 We need to help each other, we become critics of one another, but at the end of the day, as they say, we are all one.
03:48 We are all one when we all work together. We want one education.
