K-12: Not whether we are ready, we must

It amazes me that whenever President Aquino and his top advisers are asked what are the major reforms undertaken by his administration, they cannot come up with a list. All they do is point to President Gloria Arroyo in detention, and to the vague slogan, “Good governance is good economics.”

They never mention the far more significant act of political will in launching and implementing the K plus 12 program for the reform of basic education in the country.
