DepEd to find ways to help private schools

AS it gears for recovery from the impact of the pandemic, the Department of Education (DepEd) is reviewing the K to 12 curriculum to ensure graduates of the program are competent and employable, Education spokesman Michael Poa said.

The review aims to decongest the learning competencies and focus on the most essential learning areas of Mathematics, Science, English and Literacy.
