Marcos approves education, health, investment priority projects

MANILA, Philippines — President Ferdinand “Bongbong” R. Marcos Jr. approved three priority projects, including the Basic Education Plan 2030 and Department of Education’s Matatag Agenda, said the Palace on Friday.

Marcos approved the three projects during his meeting with the National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA) on Thursday.

In February, Marcos also attended the 14th Neda Board Meeting to tackle different priority measures of his administration.

The three projects recently approved are as follows:

1. Basic Education Plan 2030 and Matatag Agenda

2. University of the Philippines-Philippine General Hospital Cancer Center Public-Private Partnership Project

3. NEDA Board-Investment Coordination Committee Guidelines on the Review and Approval of National PPP Proposals

The Matatag program is Vice President and Education Secretary Sara Duterte’s initiative that updates the basic education curriculum, with the main goal of decongesting it and making students more employable.

“The draft minutes of the 14th NEDA Board meeting held 27 February 2024 are approved,” Marcos said Thursday.
