Education:
“In a significant directive, the Department of Education (DepEd) has issued a final
order prohibiting any form of decoration in classrooms, emphasizing a shift towards a
minimalist learning environment under its new initiative. While DepEd asserts that this
approach enhances concentration and understanding, concerns have been raised by
some parents and teachers, who fear a potential loss of inspiration and joy in learning
without the vibrancy and uniqueness that decorations bring to the classroom. Notably,
during Vice President Sara Duterte's personal visit to the school brigade at Vicente
Duterte Elementary School in Davao del Sur on August 17, she actively participated
in the implementation of the directive by personally removing pictures attached to the
classrooms. As the debate continues, DepEd reiterates its commitment to prioritizing
fundamental lessons and skills, emphasizing the ongoing efforts to enhance education
quality nationwide.”
