00:00The Department of Education is urging the camera to suspend the regular academic program for 8 to 12 weeks
00:07so that the students who are having a hard time with math and reading can focus on their studies first.
00:11What is the opinion of the students and their parents about this?
00:14We have the first news. This is Jomer Apresto.
00:19One nine times nine.
00:25Nine times nine.
00:26Nine times nine.
00:29Nine times nine.
00:33Eighty.
00:36Nine times nine.
00:37Nine times nine. Ninety-one.
00:40Oh, it's eighty-one.
00:42That is the answer of some high school students in Manila in Simple Problem Solving.
00:47What do you read here?
00:50Colonel.
00:51Colonel.
00:52That is the pronunciation of this grade 7 student in the word Colonel.
00:56In a World Bank study, it was found that every 10-year-old child
01:01does not read or does not understand the readings of their age.
01:06Because of this, some lawmakers are urging the camera to suspend the regular academic program of the Department of Education for 8 to 12 weeks
01:15so that the students who are having a hard time with math and reading can focus on their studies first.
01:20Will the students allow this?
01:23If we do this, we will be late for other subjects.
01:26So, it will delay our other subjects.
01:31We will allow it because we are tired of our subjects.
01:36We are just focusing on our research.
01:38It is also good for others so that they can catch up with their lessons
01:43and they can practice reading.
01:47Rolando's father is not in favor of the so-called Panukala.
01:51He would rather continue the program of the Department of Education
01:54and just add more efforts in teaching math and reading.
01:58Parents should also guide their children so that they know what they are studying.
02:05For Rayzonel, a grade 11 English teacher,
02:08hope should start for students in grade 1 only.
02:12You should start in grade 7 because in grade 7,
02:15the teacher will have a hard time because you should start in the most basic level.
02:19That's how it should be.
02:21DepEd is also conducting consultations in various sectors about this.
02:25According to the plan, they want to make an 8-week program for all 25 million grade 1 to 12 students.
02:32But due to the lack of teachers,
02:34DepEd plans to implement this in some grade 7 to 10 students.
02:40This is the first news.
