A PHILIPPINE senator on Thursday pushed a bill that seeks to boost coordination between the government and private sector in developing better work immersion programs for senior high school students, citing the need to ensure workforce competitiveness.
“If we can enact the Batang Magaling Act, we will further strengthen the relationship between our schools and the private sector to ensure that our senior high school graduates are job-ready,” Senator Sherwin T. Gatchalian said in a statement in Filipino.
Senate Bill No. 2367 seeks to set up a council that will develop the national work immersion program composed of the Labor department, private sector representatives and labor groups. — John Victor D. Ordoñez
