When the idea to shift to a K-12 educational system was first floated in 2010, academics, experts, students and their parents wasted no time in opposing the move. According to them, not only would K-12 fail to address the low quality of education, it would also give rise to more problems. But the government turned […]

Nang unang ipanukala ang paglipat ng bansa sa sistemang K-12 sa edukasyon noong 2010, maagap na nagpahayag ng kanilang mga pagtutol ang mga akademiko, eksperto, mga estudyante at kanilang mga magulang. Anila, liban sa hindi matutugunan ng K-12 ang kakulangan sa kalidad ng edukasyon, mag-aanak pa ito ng samu’t saring suliranin. Ngunit nagbingi-bingihan ang gubyerno […]

VP and Dep-ed Sec. Sara Duterte as NTF-ELCAC official, threat to academic freedom anew
May 19, 2023 | National Democratic Front of the Philippines | NDF-Bicol | Ma. Roja Banua | Spokesperson |

Sara Duterte has the temerity to wave the threat of closure against schools they assume to have revolutionary connections when there is a glaring shortage of educational facilities in the country. She has the nerve to prioritize red-tagging, attacking and suppressiong the people rather than address immediate matters in the eduational sector such as the […]

VP at Dep-ed Sec. Sara Duterte bilang upisyal ng NTF-ELCAC, dagdag banta sa kalayaan ng akademya
May 19, 2023 | National Democratic Front of the Philippines | NDF-Bicol | Ma. Roja Banua | Spokesperson |

May 18, 2023 | National Democratic Front of the Philippines | NDF-Bicol | Ma. Roja Banua | Spokesperson |

Baun na baon na sa krus ng kahirapan at krisis ang buong bansa. Sa pagpapatuloy at pagpapahigpit pang lalo ni Marcos sa patakarang neoliberal, lalong napipinsala ang kabuhayan at kinabukasan ng sambayanan. Pundamental ang mga kamalian ng planong pang-ekonomya ng papet na estado. Ang matagal na panahong pagsalig sa liberalisasyon, denasyunalisasyon at pribatisasyon ang lumumpo […]
