Gov't urged to improve students' foundational learning
The Philippine Star
|May 05, 2025
Sen. Loren Legarda yesterday called on the government to improve students' "foundational learning" to address the "functional illiteracy" affecting 18.9 million graduates.
Legarda made the call for improving learners' foundational competencies as a commissioner of the Second Congressional Commission on Education (EDCOM II).
She lamented the results of the Philippine Statistics Authority's 2024 Functional Literacy, Education and Mass Media Survey (FLEMMS), which found that 18.9 million Filipinos who graduated from the basic education system in 2024 were "functionally illiterate," which was the subject of a recent Senate basic education committee hearing.
