Good riddance! The Vice President and her poor performance as a DepEd Secretary
Vice President Sara Duterte finally resigned just a few hours ago and although I sincerely think that her reasons are political in nature, we must not forget her poor performance as the DepEd Secretary.
Contrary to what her supporters keep on saying, surveys are not the basis of a good performance in education -it is and will always be test results. The success indicator of a good DepEd secretary is not popularity but data-driven basis.
I dunno if it is just a matter of perfect timing, the PISA score indicating that we ranked at the bottom four was released the same day as the VP’s resignation. Based on our score, only 3% of the 15-year old students can match the Singapore student in creative thinking skills.

I have been calling for the Vice President’s resignation for a long long time! And I’ve established a basis that is beyond politics and just merely negligence and disinterest.
The resignation of the Vice President from her DepEd post is good news for the Filipino students, let me substantiate this claim:
1. Matatag Agenda
When the Department of Education presented the Matatag Curriculum at the Senate back in October last year, the Vice President didn’t even bother to show up but the hearing relieved a lot of things!
Despite not being from the education sector and several assessments of our curriculum identified “too many learning competencies”, our great DepEd secretary added peace education in the new curriculum because “It is close to her heart”. Seriously?!

2. DepEd Confidential Funds
This is a true reflection of the priorities of the DepEd Secretary! Just when she finally accepted the fact that there’s no way she can get her requested confidential funds… … suddenly, she remembers that the DepEd needs additional funding for the learning recovery. I mean, I am sure the legislators will gladly support that program with no problem at all! But of course her priority is the confidential funds. Labo
3. Concerning PISA score and EDCOM2 Reports
There is no time to waste when talking about the state of our education system, this is what experts consistently say.
If you read more about the education crisis here in the Philippines, our PISA score and if you listen to Senator Gatchalian and Congressman Roman explain the EDCOM2 reports in plenary. You will also wonder how can the DepEd Secretary waste her time politicking or just even think of something else but that..
The Vice President didn’t even bother attending the PISA forum, she sent a video… is she serious?!
4. Are her decisions “evidence-based” Lols!
It started with the removal of posters inside the classroom despite different studies saying different things, also despite the fact that not all classrooms are the same without the designs and posters placed to hide imperfections.
Then, there’s the Catch-Up Fridays… drop everything and read? Is that what the assessment says? Is that what the experts recommended? :/ I have been reading experts urging DepEd to stop this.
Good riddance! Shukran!
