Senate scrapped mother tongue requirement for k to Grade 3 students
By Nidz Godino
“Mother tongue as medium of instruction is not one-size-fits-all solution for every classroom… effective only in monolingual environments where learners are uniformly native speakers of the same mother tongue,” Sen. Sherwin Gatchalian said Senate approved on third and final reading bill to discontinue mandatory use of mother tongue as medium of instruction from Kindergarten to Grade 3.
Measure , sponsored by Gatchalian, was formalized by Senate President Francis Escudero, day after opening session of 19th Congress.
According to Gatchalian, measure was only effective in schools where everyone was using the same language, more so in far-flung areas.
New bill allows Mother Tongue-Based Multilingual Education, as outlined in Republic Act 10533 Enhanced Basic Education Act of 2013, to be applied in monolingual classes provided orthography is developed and documented by Komisyon sa Wikang Filipino (KWF), and that literature in language and culture is available.
Bill also mandated Department of Education to review implementation of program three years after law is passed.
“Review shall further include recommendations on whether to continue or discontinue optional use of mother tongue as medium of instruction in monolingual classes based on review conducted by DepEd,” bill stated.
ISKUP!
