Instead sana icon ng computer, library ang mailagay or isama sa areas na puede mag volunteer. Any of the 16 PLAI Regional Council can take the initiative and explore possible areas of cooperation and volunteerism within your local public school or community (or even on a individual capacity).

The Enhanced Basic Education Act of 2013

Today, President Benigno "Pnoy" Aquino signed Republic Act no. 10533, the Enhanced Basic Education Act of 2013. The K to 12 law is

a landmark piece of legislation that institutionalizes 12 years of basic education, making it responsive to global educational standards. The law, which introduces two additional years in secondary education and makes Kindergarten mandatory among five-year olds, is expected to give graduates better choices in the field of work or further education.
