Child dev’t centers proof of commitment to solve learning crisis – gov’t
Manila Bulletin
|April 5, 2025
The government says its decision to establish Child Development Centers (CDCs) in low-income areas is proof of the Marcos administration's resolute commitment to address the learning crisis and ensure that no Filipino learner is left behind.
The Second Congressional Commission on Education (EDCOM II) on Thursday, April 3, lauded the Department of Budget and Management (DMB) and the Department of Education's (DepEd) move to sign a joint circular, which operationalized President Marcos' directive to prioritize funding for the construction of CDCs in 328 low-income local government units (LGUs).
The support will be made available through the Local Government Support Fund – Financial Assistance to LGUS (LGSF-FA) under the Fiscal Year 2025 General Appropriations Act (GAA). This initiative directly responds to EDCOM II's findings, which highlighted the lack of access to ECCD services in 5,800 barangays nationwide.
