AN international conference-workshop on the K-12 program of the Department of Education will be held at the Sison Auditorium in Lingayen on January 19 to 21, to be hosted by the provincial government.
Dr. Marot Nelmida-Flores of the University of the Philippines, a native of San Carlos City, said the international conference-workshop, called “Addressing the K to 12 Curricular Enhancement in the Philippine Education 2012”, will be attended by the country’s educators and speakers from Australia, Japan, and the United States.
Education Secretary Armin Luistro will be in attendance as well as officials of the Commission on Higher Education and the Department of Science and Technology, and congressmen who have been at the forefront of education concerns.
