THE Department of Education (DepEd) has reaffirmed its commitment to sustaining key education initiatives despite the temporary suspension of its projects funded by the United States Agency for International Development (USAid) worth P4 billion or $94 million.
In a letter to United States Ambassador MaryKay Carlson, Education Secretary Sonny Angara extended the DepEd's appreciation for USAid's long-standing support in improving the basic education in the country, at the same time emphasizing the serious implications of the funding freeze.
