MANILA, Philippines — The Marcos administration has launched a program that seeks to ease the financial burden of families by providing school supplies to two million students throughout the school year.
Dubbed the “Bagong Bag para sa Mag-aaral: Presidential Assistance to Primary-Grade Learners,” the program was launched on June 9 and will benefit Kindergarten to Grade 3 students.
Some 4,000 public school students identified by the Department of Education received school bags and learning kits during the program’s launch at the Taytay Elementary Public School.
Investing in early-grade learners is a key priority of the administration, Executive Secretary Ralph Recto said.
