SOME $94 million or P4 billion worth of projects under the Department of Education (DepEd) will be affected by US President Donald Trump's move to suspend programs under the United States Agency for International Development (USAid).
In a radio interview, Education Assistant Secretary for Strategic Management Roger Masapol said some of the projects that would be affected by the planned USAid shutdown include the ABC+ or Advancing Basic Education Plus program, which would improve literacy, numeracy and social and emotional learning for kindergarten to Grade 3 students.
