Bilang technical panel member ng CHEd TUTUTUKAN ni Rizal second district Rep. Fidel Nograles ang pagpapataas sa kalidad ng edukasyon ngayong isa na siya sa mga bagong miyembro ng Technical Panel ng Commission on Higher Education (CHED).

“I am humbled by this new appointment, and I vow to become an active partner in the CHED’s goal of raising the quality of higher education in our country,” ani Nograles, vice chairman ng House
committee on Higher and Technical Education.

Magsisilbi si Nograles ng apat na taon bilang technical member ng CHED.

“Experts from academe, government and industry will assist the Commission in policy formulation and implementation consistent with the principles of transparency, accountability and
participation,” ani CHED Chairman J. Prospero de Vera III.

Ang reconstitution ay base sa CHED Administrative Order No. 3, s. 2019 o “Revised Policies and Guidelines in the Reconstitution of Technical Panels for Various Disciplines/Program Areas of the
Commission on Higher Education”.

Ayon kay Nograles, kailangang pag-aralang mabuti kung papaano ipatupad ang bagong sistema sa edukasyon sa bansa sa gitna ng pandemya sa COVID-19.

“We have an enormous challenge ahead of us because what has been a staggered approach towards distance learning has now become an inescapable reality. This is a reality where we are not
allowed to hit pause—as the present continually shifts we have to employ creative means and craft a national strategy that can be implemented as soon as possible,” ayon sa Harvard trained lawyer
congressman.

Kailangan din aniyang ipaglaban ang karagdagang pondo sa sektor ng edukasyon lalo na’t nakaharap sa economic recession ang bansa dahil sa pandemya sa COVID-19 na posibleng
makaapekto sa pag-aaral ng mga kabataan dahil milyon-milyon ang nawalan ng trabaho.

“Among the roles that I will have to take on is advocating for more funding for education. We cannot allow ourselves to fall into the trap of thinking we can sacrifice education because of our
recovery efforts,” ayon pa kay Nograles. (BERNARD TAGUINOD)
