NEGROS Occidental Vice-Governor Eugenio Jose Lacson challenged the Department of Education (DepEd) to come up with a study on how successful the K to 12 program is.
The first batch of the senior high school has graduated this year.
Lacson said he received reports that many graduates of the program are not actually ready for employment.
Lacson asked DepEd to verify these reports because there is a need to prove that K to 12 is the right thing to do and is worth going through.
He added that if there are things needed or lacking, maybe it is high time to fix it because the promise to the people, especially the parents, is that they will have a chance to work after finishing K to 12.
He also lauded the teachers and the workforce of DepEd for bravely doing their part and taking the responsibility of implementing a new program that will ultimately make or break the future of the younger generation. (PR)
