Citing Negros Oriental’s tradition of producing brilliant students and competent educators, Secretary of Education Leonor Magtolis Briones paid tribute to its contributions to education during her virtual visit to the province.
“For such a small island, for such a small province, the magnitude of our contribution to education has been very immense. Very small tayo in terms of resources, very small tayo in terms of financial power but very important and very significant in contributions especially to our present concern at this time in inculcating high moral standards among our learners,” Secretary Briones said in her virtual message.
