DepEd: Teachers’ training for modern classrooms a must

The Department of Education (DepEd) on Thursday emphasized the need to reform teacher education to address learning loss and prepare educators for the demands of 21st-century classrooms.

Education Secretary Sonny Angara affirmed the DepEd’s commitment to upskilling and reskilling teachers to ensure a brighter future for Filipino learners.

“Education is a long game — a series of investments that will pay dividends toward a more prosperous nation. When the teacher is good, you can be sure of good results for the students and the nation,” Angara said, during the Teacher Education Council Symposium on Pre-service Teacher Education Curriculum Reframing at the Metropolitan Theater in Manila.
