HOUSE BILL NO. __________
INTRODUCED BY HON. DEAN ASISTIO
EXPLANATORY NOTE
As we adapt to the fast paced world, we need to embrace further
technology and digital transformation. One way to keep up in such a
competitive environment would be to establish more science schools.
A science school would equip students with opportunities to develop
increasingly important skills such as complex problem solving, critical
thinking, and innovation. Science and mathematics are evident to higher
education and beyond; as they lay the foundation in applying knowledge
when encountering complex principles.
This bill, therefore, seeks to establish a Science High School for the
Third Legislative District of Caloocan. The establishment of Third District
Caloocan Science High School will give students the opportunity to advance
in the field of science, math, and technology; allowing greater access to
opportunities for quality education in the secondary level.
In view of the foregoing, the passage of this bill is earnestly sought.
