MANILA, Feb. 21 -- President Benigno S. Aquino III emphasized the need for the further development of private education in the Philippines in preparation of the efficient implementation of the K to 12 curriculum.

"Our greatest task in this period of revitalization is to empower our citizenry with the necessary knowledge, skills, and values, so that they can help transform our society into one that is just and equitably progressive," the Chief Executive said on Thursday in his message to Coordinating Council of Private Educational Associations (COCOPEA) on the occasion of its 5th National Congress.

The COCOPEA is the unifying voice of private education in the Philippines with more than 2,000 institutions among its five national member-organizations namely Association of Christian Schools, Colleges, and Universities, Catholic Educational Association of the Philippines, Philippine Association of Colleges and Universities, Philippine Association of Private Schools, Colleges, and Universities, and Technical Vocational Schools Association of the Philippines.

The COCOPEA opened on Thursday the national congress at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Ortigas, Pasig City. The event which has for its theme “Leading Philippine Education for Global Excellence” will end on Friday.

"The COCOPEA has always been a staunch partner in this mission, as you create opportunities for education leaders to improve their expertise and share best practices with your member institutions and students," the President said.

"May your council remain steadfast in leading our country’s academic sector towards global excellence, and in inspiring our countrymen to continue to do well in their chosen paths and cast their stake in nation-building," President Aquino said.

"Your event comes at a time of renewal, when the ideals of positive change are burning bright as ever: in our minds, our hearts, and in the work of our hands. Together, let us make the Philippines a place with equal opportunity for all, and where everyone strives to make a difference in the lives of others," he said.
