In an open letter addressed to Angara, the group said it is “excited” to work with the Department of Education (DepEd) under Angara’s leadership in addressing the country’s educational needs.
“Under your leadership, we are excited to engage in constructive dialogue… We aim to address our country’s educational needs, focusing on quality, public-private collaboration, access and expanding government assistance and subsidies. We firmly believe that your leadership will bring about meaningful reforms that will address the pressing challenges,” COCOPEA said.
The COCOPEA is composed of five national educational associations – the Catholic Educational Association of the Philippines, Philippine Association of Colleges and Universities, Association of Christian Schools, Colleges and Universities, Philippine Association of Private Schools, Colleges and Universities and the Unified Technical and Vocational Education and Training of the Philippines.
“We are ready to share our collective expertise and resources as we work together in the spirit of an all-of-society approach. We look forward to a fruitful partnership and are eager to support your endeavors to enhance the quality of education in the Philippines,” the letter read.
