Vice President and Department of Education (DepEd) Secretary Sara Duterte on Friday, Feb. 16, highlighted the importance of training teachers to ensure the successful implementation of the revised basic education curriculum for Kindergarten to Grade 10 or the MATATAG Curriculum.
“We believe that our MATATAG curriculum is a very good one but a good curriculum is not enough, we need very good teachers to teach,” Duterte said during the National Summit of the MATATAG Curriculum Pilot Implementers held at the Philippine International Convention Center (PICC) in Pasay City.
