Senator Joel Villanueva has urged the Senate to pass Senate Bill No. 2960, or the Lifelong Learning Development Framework Act, to institutionalize continuous learning opportunities for Filipinos.
The bill aims to expand the Philippine Qualifications Framework (PQF) by including the DILG and DTI in its National Coordinating Council.
It also introduces “Learning Cities” and “Learning Municipalities” to empower local governments in creating customized educational programs.
Additionally, the measure seeks to enhance micro-credentialing initiatives and strengthen the Philippine Credit Transfer System (PCTS) to recognize various learning pathways.
Villanueva emphasized that the bill is a priority of the Second Congressional Commission on Education (EDCOM2) and is crucial in adapting to the fast-changing demands of the modern world.
