The Department of Education (DepEd), under the leadership of Education Secretary Sonny Angara, extended its heartfelt appreciation to the House of Representatives for the approval of its proposed Php 793.1 billion budget for Fiscal Year (FY) 2025. The budget, part of the National Expenditure Program (NEP), was approved on Tuesday.

Secretary Angara expressed his gratitude to House Speaker Martin Romualdez, Budget Sponsor Representative Maria Carmen Zamora, and the members of the House for their unwavering support. “We sincerely thank Speaker Romualdez, Rep. Zamora, and the entire House of Representatives for their dedication to uplifting our education system. This budget reflects our shared commitment to unlocking the full potential of every Filipino learner,” Secretary Angara said.

The approved budget aligns with President Ferdinand R. “Bongbong” Marcos Jr.’s directive to fully harness the nation’s educational potential. It will support critical initiatives such as the construction of new classrooms, rehabilitation of school facilities, the DepEd Computerization Program, procurement of learning tools and equipment, teacher recruitment and training, the School-Based Feeding Program, and various government assistance and subsidies.

Additionally, funding will be allocated to DepEd’s attached agencies, including the National Book Development Board (NBDB), National Council for Children’s Television (NCCT), National Museum, Philippine High School for the Arts (PHSA), Early Childhood Care and Development Council (ECCD), and the National Academy of Sports (NAS).

Budget Sponsor Rep. Maria Carmen Zamora emphasized the importance of the budget in enhancing the quality of basic education across the country. “This funding will empower DepEd to continue its mission of providing quality education, ensuring that our learners are prepared for the future’s challenges and opportunities,” she said. “With your continued support, we can make quality basic education a reality for all.”

During the deliberations, five lawmakers either raised clarifications or expressed support for the budget. Secretary Angara also acknowledged the constructive feedback from ACT Partylist Representative France Castro, which contributed to the revision of DepEd Order No. 12, s. 2024. This amendment to DepEd Order No. 010, s. 2024, introduces greater flexibility in teaching hours under the MATATAG Curriculum, promoting a healthier work-life balance for educators while ensuring improved educational outcomes.
