Revolutionize education system, says UMak head

THE president of the city-run University of Makati (UMak) has urged educators across the country not to fear change, even radical change in the country’s educational system such as the Kindergarten to Grade 12 (K-to-12) program, saying this is needed to make the Philippines at par with the rest of the world

Prof. Tomas B. Lopez made the appeal on Wednesday during an education conference with the theme: “K-to-12 Strategems: Responding to the Challenges on Competitiveness, Accessibility and Sustainability Beyond 2016” at the University of Makati Mini-Theatre attended by school owners and administrators of various private schools.
