THE Department of Education (DepEd) will release the Basic Education Report (BER) 2023 at the end of the month to present current challenges faced by the education sector and determine the top priorities of the agency.

In a press briefing Monday, DepEd spokesman Michael Wesley Poa said that Vice President and Education Secretary Sara Duterte will deliver the BER 2023.

“We want to lay before the general public what really is the current state of education because we always hear that there are many challenges facing basic education. So, this is where we will tell the public one by one those challenges in basic education,” Poa said.

“Aside from that, the department will also launch its Education Agenda. This identifies our plans and initiatives to resolve these challenges,” he added.

The DepEd will also launch a new call to action for all Filipinos anchored on the said initiative on January 30.

“It’s really to give the public an idea of the steps that this administration will take and also the direction of this administration towards resolving issues in basic education,” Poa said.
