English: Gatchalian proposed to fund the assessment and certification of Grade 12 learners taking the TVL track because of the low certification rates recorded for School Years (SY) 2019-2020 (25.7%) and 2020-2021 (6.8%). The low certification rates were attributed to the prohibitive cost of NC Assessments, the average cost of which is P1,009.29 per individual. Despite the low certification rates, the passing rates among those who took the assessment were 98% in SY 2019-2020 and 97% in SY 2020-2021.
Filipino: Ipinanukala ni Gatchalian na pondohan ang assessment at certification ng mga senior high school graduates sa TVL track dahil sa mababang certification rates na naitala noong School Year (SY) 2019-2020 (25.7%) at 2020-2021 (6.8%). Lumalabas na mababa ang certification rate dahil hindi kayang tustusan ng karamihan sa mga mag-aaral ang NC assessment na umaabot sa humigit-kumulang P1,009.29 kada isang estudyante. Bagama't mababa ang certification rates, umabot naman sa 98% ang passing rates ng mga kumuha ng assessment noong SY 2019-2020 at 97% naman para sa SY 2020-2021.
