<\/p>\n

In filing House Bill No. 5896, Gatchalian said the youth are the foundation of a country\u2019s future, stressing that the responsibility of every state is the education of its youth.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is therefore unfortunate that many of our children are denied the opportunity to pursue quality education, if not have an education at all,\u201d Gatchalian said.<\/p>\n

Citing a study conducted by the Philippine Statistics Authority, Gatchalian said there were about 6.24 million out-of-school youth in 2010, mainly due to lack of personal interest to go to school, followed by a high cost of education and the desire to work.<\/p>\n

He also quoted the study conducted by the World Bank entitled \u201cOut-of-School Children and Youth in the Philippines: Issues and Opportunities,\u201d which estimated that there are currently between 8 and 10 million out-of-school youth in the Philippines and that their number has trebled in the last 10 years.<\/p>\n

The study said the largest number of out-of-school youth is concentrated in the National Capital Region, according to Gatchalian.<\/p>\n

He said the highest rates of increase of out-of-youth populations and the highest dropout rates, particularly in elementary school, have been in the provinces of Mindanao and the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis only shows that the problem of out-of-school youth is not limited to the National Capital Region but is now spreading across the other regions in the country,\u201d Gatchalian said.<\/p>\n

The bill mandates the State to provide mandatory technical or vocational education to out-of-school youth with the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) regulating the course for a period of at least six months.<\/p>\n

The State shall also make the Alternative Learning Mode of Education available to out-of-school youth in the barangays, the bill provides.<\/p>\n

For those out-of-school youth who are in the custody of a home or institution managed by the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD), the bill requires the latter to conduct the Alternative Learning System under its premises.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Under the measure, the cost of technical or vocational education shall be provided for by the government and shall be free of charge to the out-of-school youth.<\/p>\n

The State shall also provide for all of the materials, instruments and tools that the out-of-school youth may need while enrolled in the technical or vocational education.<\/p>\n

As defined under the bill, Alternative Learning System is a parallel learning system in the Philippines that provides a practical option to the existing formal instruction.<\/p>\n

It includes both the non-formal and informal sources of knowledge and skills.<\/p>\n

Technical or vocational education, on the other hand, refers to training for a specific occupation in agriculture, trade, or industry through a combination of theoretical teaching and practical experience provided by many high schools in their commercial and technical divisions and by special institutions of collegiate standing.<\/p>\n

Gatchalian said it is the duty of Congress to pass laws that will curb the number of out-of-school youth and protect their rights as provided for by the Constitution.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
