HYTEC POWER INC. joined over 3,500 educators, parents and students from the National Capital Region (NCR), Region IV-A (CALABARZON), and Region III (Central Luzon) in celebrating the milestones of the K to 12 Program at the Philippine International Convention Center (PICC) last May 29, 2015.
President Benigno S. Aquino III graced the event as the Guest of Honor and highlighted the importance of collective efforts in education. “Sama-sama nating isusulong ang sinimulan nating K to 12 Program; at isang bansa nating iaangat ang antas ng edukasyon sa Pilipinas,” said President Aquino.
The K-12 Summit Highlights The K-to-12 Summit confirmed what most education experts have been saying–that the new basic education system is immensely good for the students. Testimonies of these happy experiences were given by young people in the K to 12 Summit.
“Kung gusto natin ng pagbabago, mag-umpisa tayo sa kabataan, mag-umpisa tayo sa edukasyon,” said Arien Lein Ibardo, an incoming Grade 10 student in a public school. He also added that the “K to 12 program embarks on a new hope for the Filipino youth.”
Teachers also testified to their students’ higher sense of achievement and satisfaction in the K-to-12 system. A parent spoke of his and his son’s experience of success and confidence in the young man’s future either as the able manager of the family automotive business or as a university scholar. This summit was a rare, happy assembly for teachers, students, parents and other stakeholders. It also empowered the HPI K-to-12 team to work harder and to help make better quality education in our country.
