PRESIDENT Ferdinand Marcos Jr. gave assurances he would address the reduction of the Department of Education's (DepEd) 2025 budget, Education Secretary Sonny Angara said Sunday.
Last week, the bicameral conference committee approved a budget of P737 billion for DepEd, lower by P12 billion than the P748 billion approved by the Senate and the House of Representatives.
