Edcom 2 bill now a law, education review up

A BILL creating a Second Congressional Commission on Education (Edcom 2) that will undertake a comprehensive national assessment and evaluate the performance of the Philippine education sector lapsed into law on July 23.

Republic Act 11899, or the 'Edcom 2 Act,' was passed by the Senate and the House of Representatives on May 23, 2022. Legislative measures lapse into law if the president does not take action — approve or veto — within 30 days from the receipt of the proposals.
