This means that many of our youth are still in schoolripe for

learning and training.

This also means that the investments in education we make

today will, to a large extent, define the future of this young

peopleand, consequently, of our country.

The school bills your committee is putting before the body

today involve the creation of new schools, renaming of existing

ones, or their conversion into independent units.

We believe these measures will be instrumental in

improving the quality of education and widen access to learning

facilities.

As the number of school-age children continues to increase,

so must our schools capacity to accommodate them. This

necessitates the transformation of certain annexes of secondary

schools into autonomous units with full financial and

administrative mandates.

Your committee, as well as the House Committee on Basic

Education, believes these units have demonstrated the capability

to stand on their own. By making them independent, they will be

able to better serve their immediate communities. They will be

more attuned to the needs of their constituents, particularly in

putting out-of-school youth back into school.

Some of these schools respond to the special requirements of

their communities as they specialize in trade, technical-vocational

or agricultural studies.

Allow me to show select education indicators of the

provinces involved (Annex I) and their ranking in the Human

Development Index (HDI).

The HDI measures life expectancy, literacy, education, and

standards of living of a country, and serves as a standard gauge

of well-being.

As we can see, some of these provinces perform better than

the Philippines taken as a whole. In terms of the percentage of

population 18 years and above who are high school graduates,

several provinces, like Bataan, Batangas, Ilocos Norte and

Misamis Oriental, exceeded the countrys average.

La Union even stands out for having 100 percent enrollment

rate at the primary and secondary levels.

However, many of these provinces fall short of the

performance of Metro Manila, arguably the standard of

competitiveness in our country.

We hope to help them be on the same level as the National

Capital Region, if not better. The first step toward realizing that is

improving their educational facilities.
