Pag-usapan natin ano nga ba ang ugat ng sigalot sa Kanlurang Asya at ng pandaigdigang krisis, ang direktang epekto nito sa mga guro, kawani at sa sektor ng edukasyon, at ano ang ating panawagan sa gitna ng gera at krisis!

ACT Chairperson Ruby Bernardo underscored that reflecting teachers’ voices and ensuring coordinated and institutionalized social dialogue must be the primary means of developing policies on education, teaching, and the teaching profession.

Bernardo stressed that young and early-career educators must recognize that real change does not come from individual resilience alone, but from collective action.

ACT Chairperson Ruby Bernardo emphasized at the Asia-Pacific Regional Forum on Teachers that transforming education systems requires enabling teachers to become agents of change.

Ngayong Semana Santa, nawa'y pagnilayan rin ng matataas na opisyales ng pamahalaan ang pasanin ng mga guro at ng bayan upang maaksyunan ang ating mga makatarungang kahilingan.

Bahagi ng ating pagpapakita ng pakikiisa at suporta, tayo ay naglulunsad ng donation drive upang maghatid ng tulong sa ating mga tsuper na wala nang kinikita sa pamamasada. Guro at tsuper, magkaisa! Presyo ng langis, i-rollback! Oil Deregulation Law, ibasura!
