AT the 13th ASEAN Education Ministers Meeting (ASED), Philippine Education Secretary Juan Edgardo 'Sonny' Angara called on Asean member states to prioritize digital transformation in education to better prepare the region's youth for future challenges.

Angara highlighted the collective responsibility of policymakers to equip learners with the skills and values needed to thrive in an increasingly digital world. He stressed the urgency of these reforms as Asean approaches critical deadlines for its Community Blueprints and begins developing post-2025 strategic plans.
