ACT has gained attention for its progressive stance, consistently highlighting the government's inadequate response to the educational crisis in the country. In April of last year, the group raised concerns regarding the need for the department to address the issue of overcrowded classrooms, which posed a risk of heat exhaustion among students. Additionally, the group proposed an annual recruitment of 30,000 additional teachers to alleviate the student-to-teacher ratio Regrettably, the department dismissed this suggestion, deeming it unfeasible

The group's advocacy is primarily focused on the welfare of students It is evident that ACT has adopted an effective approach in addressing the issues plaguing our education system. Hypothetically implementing their proposed suggestions would undoubtedly lead to a singular outcome: the prioritization of students' rights and well-being
Currently, however, it appears that the group responsible for safeguarding the interests of students lacks a fundamental understanding of the issue at hand. Surprisingly, the secretary herself seems preoccupied with targeting and labeling members of ACT as “communists”, rather than focusing on more essential tasks As a result, the department is seemingly transforming into an extension of NTFELCAC.
Given the prevailing educational crisis and the evident flaws within the DepEd system, it is crucial that these pressing concerns take precedence To effectively address these issues and contribute to the betterment of our nation, we must return to the core solution: investing in the future by supporting those who are shaping it. Ultimately, the equation remains constant one plus one will always equal two If the outcome of this mathematical equation differs, it is clear that a change in approach is necessary.
