CoA: Millions of DepEd textbooks gathering dust

The Department of Education (DepEd) purchased tons of instructional materials, but millions of copies have not been distributed and are gathering dust in warehouses, according to the Commission on Audit (CoA).

The commission said DepEd acquired “an alarming number of undistributed instructional materials” worth P136.5 million as buffer stock from 2014 to 2017.
