Mother tongue as medium of instruction
|
|
The Department of Education on Wednesday announced that the training
of 2,168 high school teachers on the use of lesson guides in
teaching English had been completed. This is part of the massive
effort to improve Philippine government schools’ use of English as
the medium of instruction. Secretary Jesli Lapus explained that
these Master Teachers and Senior Teachers went through the program
which is just one of DepEd’s many projects to improving the
teaching of English in our public schools.
We welcome the addition of 2,168 expert teachers
of English in our public schools.
