To address the impact of prolonged school closures because of the COVID-19 pandemic, Senator Win Gatchalian has filed a bill that seeks to give struggling learners access to a free national remedial program, which includes well-systematized tutorial sessions.

With less than a month to go before the opening of School Year 2021-2022, Senator Win Gatchalian says the Senate will have a thorough assessment of the Department of Education’s (DepEd) readiness for a prolonged distance learning scenario.

Reforms in the basic education sector should address persisting issues hounding the language of instruction, Senator Win Gatchalian said, amid the nationwide celebration of the National Language Month this August.

While Senator Win Gatchalian seeks to make the internet accessible to the country’s learners, he also pressed the importance of making it a safe space for all Filipino children.

Following the announcement that the regular enrollment period for School Year 2021-2022 will start next week, August 16, Senator Win Gatchalian seeks a more aggressive and efficient implementation of the “Child Find System” (CFS) to identify, locate, and evaluate more learners with disabilities who are not receiving basic education services.

Senator Win Gatchalian bats for the empowerment of principals in delivering quality education and reversing the education ‘crisis’ hounding the country.

First but definitely not the last. Senator Win Gatchalian expressed optimism that the National Academy of Sports (NAS) will produce athletes who will follow in the footsteps of weightlifter Hidilyn Diaz, the first Olympic gold medalist for the Philippines.

To successfully foster innovation in the new normal and aid the country’s post-pandemic recovery, Senator Win Gatchalian pressed the need to improve K to 12 learners’ proficiency in both math and science.

While in-service training can help the teachers with their professional development, Senator Win Gatchalian maintained that aspiring teachers should start receiving quality education and training from teacher education institutions (TEIs) during their pre-service training.
