English: The Year One report of the Second Congressional Commission on Education (EDCOM II) found that since 2012 up to last year, only 27 out of 90 textbook titles were procured for Grades 1 to 10. The Commission's report also found that only learners from Grades 5 and 6 have complete sets of textbooks for all subjects.
