It further added that the plan aims to continue the agency’s goals for all Filipinos to realize their full potential and contribute meaningfully to a cohesive nation through the protection and promotion of the right to education.

Moreover, the BEDP 2030 is also designed to address the immediate impacts of the pandemic on learning, participation, and education delivery, address the remaining access gaps, improve education quality, and build resilience.

BEDP is part of the administration’s efforts to ensure that the call for improving the access and quality of basic education will continue as these are the challenges that were identified by various research. BEDP 2030 was anchored on the Sulong Edukalidad framework to harmonize the strategies within DepEd,

Education Secretary Leonor Magtolis Briones said.

The launch was attended by key DepEd officials, Education Forum for Quality Education (Educ Forum) representatives, and partners, including the Philippine Business for Education (PBEd), UNICEF, and SEAMEO INNOTECH.

During the launch, the DepEd discussed the blueprint for the next decade in formulating, implementing, coordinating, monitoring, evaluating, and supervising policies, plans, programs, and projects to further improve the basic education and the experience of learners in the learning environment.

The BEDP 2030 will be a living document subject to continuing review and refinement by the incoming administration,

Undersecretary and Chief of Staff Nepomuceno Malaluan emphasized.

The official launching was live streamed via the DepEd Philippines Facebook in the afternoon on Friday.
