Inihain ang House Bill 9808 sa House of Representatives na nag-uutos na pag-aralan ang demand sa labor market kada tatlong taon upang mapataas ang tsansa ng mga K to 12 o senior high school (SHS) graduates na makanap ng trabaho na naaayon sa kanilang knowledge at skills.
“The government must make sure that SHS students are ready for employment when they finish the K to 12 program. It is imperative that we arm them with the commensurate knowledge and skills that would make them employable and competitive,” ayon kay Deputy Speaker Camille Villar ng Las Piñas City.
Naglalayong magtatag ang House Bill 9808, o Batang Magaling Act, ng local council na magsasagawa ng mga pag-aaral, kung saan ang resulta ay magsisilbing batayan para sa pagpapabuti ng work immersion component ng senior high school (SHS) program.
“This bill seeks to reinforce the K to 12 program objective by ensuring that SHS graduates are equipped with the knowledge, training, and skills demanded in the labor market, whether they have chosen the higher education, middle-level skills development, employment, or entrepreneurship exit, thereby enhancing their employability and competitiveness in the workforce,” sabi pa ni Villar.
