As President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. prepares to deliver his State of the Nation Address (SONA) this week, a group of frustrated teachers is calling out his administration's handling of the country's education system. In a bold move, educators are taking to the streets to protest what they claim is a historic budget for education that is being squandered due to poor management and inadequate allocation of resources. Despite the promise of a P1.1-trillion budget for education, teachers point to crumbling classrooms, outdated textbooks, and a shortage of qualified instructors as evidence of the administration's failure to deliver on its education promises. With the President set to outline his vision for the country's future, these teachers are determined to make their voices heard and hold the administration accountable for its education record.
