Pangasinan backs K-to-12 program

LINGAYEN, Pangasinan—Gov. Amado I. Espino III on Tuesday assured the province’s all-out support to the Department of Education and its implementation of the K-to-12 education program.

“Since 2007, when my father was governor, and until today under my watch, the provincial government is unwavering in its support to DepEd,” said Espino during the opening program of the K-to-12 Summit of DepEd Schools Division of Pangasinan 1 at the Sison Auditorium here.

The first such summit conducted by a DepEd division in Region 1 after the Senior High School national summit last January updated school administrators on the implementation of the K to 12 system, including innovations and strategies that could be adopted by local schools.
