Introduced by Representative AURORA ENERIO - CERILLES

EXPLANATORY NOTE.

This bill seeks to convert the Bayog National High School into a technical-vocational
high school to be known as Bayog Technical-Vocational High School in the Municipality
of Bayog, Zamboanga del Sur.

The objective is to be in consonance with the “Enhanced Basic Education Act of 2013”,
otherwise known as “K to 12” and the Ladderized System of education which we are
now planning to institutionalize.

A technical-vocational (tech-voc) high school will serve as a platform for the
convergence of tech-voc training and higher education. It is a way of introducing the
dual educational system of technical - vocational and higher education courses.

For the past 10 years, our job market needs workers that are skilled to fill-up vacancy
for blue collar jobs. Jobs to fill-in the blue collar vacancies turn out to be low in
recruitment because most of our graduates pursue higher education courses like
Nursing, Business and Information Technology Courses, rather than technical
vocational courses like Welding, Cabinet Making and machine related courses.

In order to encourage high school graduates to pursue career for blue collar jobs, to
appreciate and experience hands-on skills training, and discover that they have
excellent manual dexterity in the field-of technical-vocational courses, | therefore seek
the immediate passage of this bill
