00:00The government is working hard to find a job for the senior high school graduates.
00:07Let's go to Kenneth Paciente.
00:11In 2022, Aaron graduated from senior high school.
00:14To save money, he looked for a part-time job.
00:17But it was difficult because his qualifications were not good.
00:21My father's reaction was that he was angry.
00:24He said that it would take a few more years for him to graduate.
00:28I lost my job.
00:30The government is working hard to find a job for the senior high school graduates.
00:33That's why DEPED, TESDA, CHED and DOLE
00:36agreed on two joint memorandums
00:38to find a job for the senior high school graduates.
00:43The free assessment for senior high school graduates
00:46is to get a certification and get employed.
00:50According to Senator Winga Chalyan,
00:52even if a student completes the Technical Vocational Livelihood Track or TVL,
00:57there is no assessment that proves that the student has passed or completed the TVL
01:01that is why they are not accepted for the job.
01:03How come they're not being assessed?
01:05The cost of assessment varies from P1,000 to P5,000 depending on the course.
01:14So for a senior high school student
01:17and for a parent who has a senior high school student,
01:22you added two years to the cost of their assessment.
01:26It will be funded by P538 million from the 2024 General Appropriations Act.
01:33Another circular was added that will include all senior high school tracks in TVET
01:38to ensure that the graduates will have industry-relevant skills
01:42to ensure their employability.
01:44By embedding TVET in the senior high school,
01:47I will really pay attention to how the textbook moves
01:51and how it enters our education sector.
01:54Secondly, we will provide free assessment to our learners
01:59that will help emphasize the role of TVET in nation-building.
02:04According to DepEd, this will not affect their review of the senior high school curriculum.
02:09Actually, the timing is good because we will have them review the senior high school curriculum.
02:16What will happen is that there will be a TWG
02:19and we will plan where exactly to embed the TVET across all tracks.
02:26The Senate is now pushing for the Child Good Act
02:28that will push for the institutionalization of the assessment of senior high school graduates
02:33and the Civil Service Commission to prioritize the hiring of senior high school graduates.
