MANILA, Philippines — A lawmaker has sought for the passage of a bill he filed, which seeks to remove professional and bar examination fees for qualified indigents, to ensure that financial woes would not hinder career aspirations.

In a statement, Davao City 1st District Rep. Paolo Duterte said that he and Benguet Rep. Eric Yap hope that their colleagues at the House of Representatives would “swiftly act on the bill so that it could soon benefit indigents who will take the licensure examinations.”

Hindi maikakaila na malaki ang naging masamang epekto ng nakaraang pandemya sa sektor ng edukasyon, hindi lamang dito sa ating bansa kundi maging sa ibang parte ng mundo.

Marami ng problema sa sektor ng edukasyon natin na lalo pang pinalala ng pandemya. Sa isang pag-aaral na ginawa ng World Bank bago pa mag-pandemya, nakitang siyam sa sampung PIlipinong mag-aaral na nakaabot ng Grade 5 ay kulang ang kaalaman sa reading o pagbasa.

ISINULONG ni Davao City 1st. Dist. Congressman Paolo Z. Duterte ang isang panukalang batas sa Kamara de Representantes na naglalayong gawing libre ang mga “licensure examinations fees” para sa mga qualified indigent Filipino o yung mga walang kakayahang magbayad ng nasabing bayarin dala ng kanilang kahirapan.

Ito ang nakapaloob sa House Bill No. 4927 na inihain ni Congressman Duterte kasama si Benguet Congressman Eric Yap para maging libre ang pagbabayad ng mga fees para sa mga indigent Filipino. Matapos nilang igiit na hindi dapat maging handlang ang pagbabayad ng mga licensure examination fees para hindi maging propesyunal ang isang indigent o mahirap na mamamayan.

Isinusulong ni Davao City Rep. Paolo Duterte na gawing libre ang mgabayarin sa licensure examination, kasama na ang Bar Exam.

Ayon sa Kongresista, hindi dapat maging hadlang ang mataas na gastusin sa mga nasabing examination, bago makamit ng mga nagsipagtapos ang kanilang lisensiya.

A BILL seeking to allow qualified indigents to take the Bar and other licensure examinations for free has been filed at the House of Representatives to remove another obstacle for poor but deserving students.

Rep. Paolo Duterte of Davao City and Rep. Eric Yap of Benguet have filed House Bill No. 4927 to provide the benefit to graduates from poor families “in order to level the playing field amongst all future professional examination takers.”

Hinimok ni Davao City Rep Paolo Duterte ang Kongreso na magpasa ng mga batas para sa education reforms na tutugon sa jobs-skills mismatch at tiyakin na job ready ang mga Pinoy graduates.

Ang pahayag ay ginawa ni Duterte matapos magpahayag ng pagkaalarma si Management Association of the Philippines (MAP) president Benedicta Du-Baladad sa kasalukuyang estado ng edukasyon sa bansa kung saan maraming graduates ang bigo pa rin na makakuha ng makakuha ng trabaho dahil ang kanilang skills ay hindi tumutugma sa ” demands” ng job market.

MANILA – A lawmaker on Tuesday stressed the need for Congress to swiftly act on education reforms that would effectively address the jobs-skills mismatch and support enterprise-based education to ensure that Filipino graduates are work ready.

In a statement, Davao City (1st District) Rep. Paolo Duterte noted that Management Association of the Philippines (MAP) president Benedicta Du-Baladad has expressed alarm over the current education crisis in the country and has urged the government to transform the education system to allow it to better adapt to a “changed workplace in a technology-driven world.”

FIRST District Rep. Paolo Duterte underscored the need for Congress to do its part in making Filipino graduates “employment-ready.”

He said lawmakers must act swiftly on proposed education reforms that would effectively address the jobs-skills mismatch in the country and bolster enterprise-based education.

Filipino graduates must be "employment-ready” when they step out of school as far as Davao City 1st district Rep. Paolo Duterte is concerned.

“Millions of students that will graduate or have recently graduated from senior high school or college will either get a job that suits their skills or one where they are overqualified or underqualified. But many will still find themselves jobless because their skills are not commensurate to the demands in the job market,” Rep. Duterte said in a statement.

MANILA, Philippines — Davao City 1st District Rep. Paolo Duterte urges the House of Representatives to pass bills aimed at improving the education system, especially now that the K-12 system has been getting flak for allegedly not helping its graduates get good jobs.

In a statement issued on Tuesday, Duterte said the House should act on three bills — House Bill Nos. 8069, 7400, and 7370 — to avoid wasted opportunities for graduating students.

Binigyan-diin ni Davao City Rep. Paolo Duterte ang mahalagang papel ng Kongreso para matiyak na handa ang mga graduate sa pagpasok ng trabaho at matugunan ang job-skills mismatch sa bansa.

Ayon kay Duterte, maraming graduate ang walang trabaho dahil hindi angkop ang kanilang kakayanan sa kailangan ng mga employer.
