Education Secretary Sonny Angara is seeking PHP 16.03 billion in supplementary funding for the Academic Recovery and Accessible Learning (ARAL) Program in the 2027 budget. This comes after the Philippines showed significant improvements in reading, mathematics, and science in the 2025 Program for International Student Assessment (PISA). The ARAL program aims to provide targeted support for struggling learners, boost grade-level reading readiness, and strengthen foundational learning. The Department of Education (DepEd) is also prioritizing learner welfare with a PHP 11.4 billion allocation for the School-Based Feeding Program.
