Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. is set to address the country's struggling education system in his upcoming State of the Nation Address (SONA). The address comes as the Philippines continues to grapple with significant classroom gaps, teacher shortages, and a strained school system that has left many students without access to quality education. With the country's education sector facing numerous challenges, Marcos' SONA is expected to outline his administration's plans to address these issues and provide a roadmap for improving the country's education system. As the Philippines looks to boost its economic growth and competitiveness, a strong education system is seen as a crucial factor in achieving this goal, and Marcos' address will be closely watched for any initiatives aimed at revitalizing the country's schools and attracting more students to pursue higher education.
