Professor Ambeth Ocampo of the Ateneo de Manila University tackles the issue on the implementation of Republic Act (RA) No. 1425 or Rizal Law to the education system 70 years after it was passed into law during a lecture event at Silliman University, Dumaguete.


Ocampo said that the problem is not the legislative intent of the Rizal course or content of the materials but the pedagogy or way of teaching at schools.


"You cannot remove Rizal because it is there by law. It will be there but it has to be changed in terms of pedagogy," he said, when asked about the controversial proposal of the Commission of Higher Education (CHED) to reduce general education (GE) units by half in the tertiary curriculum.


The Ateneo professor added that students should enjoy learning Rizal's life and works using the lens of literature more than a symbol of patriotism.


The event was held in line with the three-day 6200 Book Fest organized by Dumaguete City of Stories and National Book Development Board.

As of July 22, over P23 billion out of the P67.9-billion budget for classroom construction has been released to the Department of Education, Education Undersecretary Filemon Javier tells the Senate basic education committee.

He says downloading of funds to the local government units who have signed memorandum of agreement with the DepEd will be done once there is a resolution to award the first tranche.

Education Undersecretary Ronald Mendoza says the DepEd targets to issue a notice of award for the winning bidder to build 3,000 classrooms under a private-public partnership mode by October 7.

Once this happens, Mendoza says the DepEd expects the 3,000 classrooms to be delivered by middle to late 2027.

At least two companies have shown interest for this Package A of the PPP for School Infrastructure Project Phase III.
