“As we close School Year 2024-2025, I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude to our learners, teachers, school staff, parents, and partners who have been part of this shared journey,” Angara said in his gradu-ation message.

DepEd Memorandum No. 027, s. 2025, outlined the conduct of EOSY rites for the K to 12 Basic Education Program. According to the school calendar for SY 2024-2025, the rites may be held on any date between April 14 and 15.

This year’s theme, Angara noted, “un-derscores our collective effort in strength-ening our education system to meet the demands of a rapidly evolving world.”
