No special education budget in NEP — DepEd

THE Department of Education (DepEd) clarified on Monday that it proposed a P532 million budget for the special education (SPED) program but it not considered in the 2023 National Expenditure Program (NEP) of the Department of Budget and Management.

'In the past years, DepEd has likewise made efforts within the organization to ensure that programs are being supported,' the department said, noting that two other proposed programs were also excluded in the NEP.
