Few days back, ACT-CIS Partylist Representative Eric Go Yap and Davao City First District Representative Paolo Z. Duterte filed House Bill No. 7012, also to be known as “Scholarship and Educational Grants to Public School Teachers and their Children Act.”
The said measure seeks to offer scholarship grants to public school teachers for their graduate and post-graduate studies and to give educational assistance in terms of cash allowance to their children enrolled in State Universities and Colleges (SUCs).
“Hanggang ngayon, kahit na may kinakaharap na krisis ang ating bansa, ipinapamalas ng ating mga guro ang kanilang walang patid na dedikasyon para maipaabot sa kanilang mga estudyante ang pagkakataon para makapag-aral. Kahit maraming limitasyon, sinisikap nila na maging abot-kamay ang pagkatuto sa kabataan,” Yap said.
“Sa tulong ng panukalang ito, magiging libre na ang pag-aaral ng ating public school teachers ng Masteral o Post-Graduate sa SUCs. Ito ay isang oportunidad para kanilang mapalawak ang kanilang kaalaman, na kanilang magagamit sa pagtuturo at mababahagi sa mga estudyante,” the partylist solon noted.
“Dagdag pa rito, mabibigyan rin ng cash allowance pang-matrikula ang kanilang mga anak nag-aaral sa SUCs. Nais natin tulungan ang ating mga guro na itaguyod ang kanilang mga anak para makapagtapos ng pag-aaral,” Yap added.
“We are striving to lift the social and economic burden from our teachers by granting them with opportunities to cultivate their expertise in a specialized area of study and by providing their children in tertiary education with educational assistance. Rest assured that we are looking into more ways to uplift the lives of our teachers to show our gratitude and appreciation for their hardwork,” Duterte stated.
“Ito ay bilang pasasalamat sa kanila walang-sawang paglilingkod sa bayan. Nararapat lamang na pagtuunan natin sila ng pansin at isulong ang kanilang kapakanan. Sila ang haligi ng ating lipunan. Kung wala sila, hindi magiging posible ang kahit anumang larangan,” Yap pronounced.
