Palace maintains DepEd has highest allocation in 2025 budget

The article from MSN discusses the Philippine government's 2025 budget, highlighting that the Department of Education (DepEd) has been allocated the highest budget among all government agencies. Despite this, there are concerns about the adequacy of the funding for education, especially given the increasing costs and the need for infrastructure improvements. The budget aims to support the implementation of the K-12 program, teacher training, and school facilities enhancement. However, critics argue that the budget might still fall short in addressing the comprehensive needs of the education sector, including the digitalization of learning materials and addressing the educational disparities exacerbated by the recent global health crisis. The Palace, however, maintains that the allocation reflects the government's commitment to education as a priority, with the budget being described as "sufficient" to meet current educational demands.
