(UPDATE) THE implementation of the Matatag Curriculum was among the key issues raised by private school heads and associations in their meeting with Vice President and Education Secretary Sara Duterte last January 23.

In her post on her official Facebook page Friday, Duterte said the private school heads wanted to be assured about the 'proper execution' of the Matatag Curriculum, which is being piloted in 35 public schools across the country and is scheduled to be rolled out next school year for Kinder, Grades 1, 4 and 7.
