Public Policy in the Philippines that Sets Social Objectives in Education

I think one of the public policy that sets social objectives for education is the newly crafted and implemented Matatag curriculum.This addresses key issues within the education system and align educational outcomes with broader societal goals. It focuses on strengthening foundational skills in literacy, numeracy, and socio-emotional learning, particularly in the early grades, to ensure that all students have the essential tools needed for success. By decongesting the curriculum and emphasizing essential learning competencies, it promotes deeper understanding and mastery, leading to a more competent and confident citizenry. The curriculum also prioritizes inclusivity and relevance, making sure that education is accessible to all students, regardless of socio-economic background, and that it prepares them for modern-day challenges. Additionally, the Matatag Curriculum nurtures values and civic responsibility, aiming to produce socially responsible and patriotic citizens committed to the well-being of their communities and the nation. By aligning educational outcomes with national development goals and fostering a culture of lifelong learning, the curriculum supports the Philippines' broader objectives of social equity, economic growth, and national progress, ensuring that education contributes directly to building a just, cohesive, and forward-thinking society.
