60% UNAWARE

6 out of 10 students of Alabel National Science High School are unaware of the pressing issues that are happening in their community.

In this survey, students were asked on their stances on the following issues: DepEd’s MATATAG Agenda, Implementation of the National Citizen’s Service Training Program, and Cross-dressing in educational institutions.

They were tasked to answer using the following scale: green light for go, yellow light for go with reservations, and red light for stop.

National Citizens’ Service Training Program RED LIGHT

“The Philippines is currently under a severe education crisis. This program anchored on “nationalism” is not the best way to address this concern. We should teach students to become critical thinkers and not blind followers,” an alumnus said.

Department of Education’s MaTaTaG Agenda YELLOW LIGHT

“The MaTaTaG Agenda bannered by the Department Education is a good solution to the learning crisis. However, it is still too early to say that this resolves the problem. We need progress,” a Grade 12 student responded.

Cross-dressing for Members of the LGBTQ GREEN LIGHT

“Members of the LGBTQ should not be deprived of their right of self-expression. If we are to banner inclusive education, then this would be agood step forward,” a Grade 11 student expressed.
