English: Gatchalian also urged the Teacher Education Council (TEC) to align teacher training and education to the MATATAG K to 10 Curriculum. Under the Excellence in Teacher Education Act (Republic Act No. 11713), the TEC was revamped to strengthen the coordination between the DepEd, the Commission on Higher Education (CHED), and the Professional Regulation Commission (PRC), and ensure the coherence between pre-service and in-service teacher education and training. The TEC is also mandated to set basic requirements for teacher education programs.
