NOCEI Education Summit 2013

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.

2nd Marina G. Dayrit Lecture Series

Invitation for the 2nd lecture in the Marina G. Dayrit Lecture Series entitled "Library Readiness to K-12 Basic Education Program " will be held on 22 March 2013 from 8am-12nn. It seems the organizing committee overlook to state the venue of the 2nd lecture and it cannot be implied from mere reading of the invitation that it will be held at the same venue as of the 1st Lecture in the series.


UPDATE as of 10 Feb 2013.

The venue of the 2nd Lecture Series will be at the Seminar room A & B of the Technological Institute of the Philippines-Cubao, Quezon City. Thanks Mam Fe Angela for posting the corrected invites.
