The country’s school division leaders are throwing their full support behind Education Secretary Juan Edgardo Angara, saying his leadership is exactly what the Department of Education (DepEd) needs at this crucial time.
In a statement released on December 3, the Philippine Association of Schools Superintendents (PASS)—a nationwide group representing DepEd’s division heads—expressed full and unequivocal support for Angara as he leads the department through long-needed reforms.
PASS praised Angara for championing transparency, efficiency, accountability, and responsible use of public funds, noting that his leadership style has boosted confidence within DepEd. According to the group, Angara’s direction ensures that policies are crafted and implemented with integrity, discipline, and fairness.
What do they like most about his approach? PASS says Angara’s leadership stands out for being consistent, coherent, and evidence-based—something the education sector badly needs as it tackles issues like learning loss, teacher support, and governance reforms.
The group also highlighted Angara’s inclusive management style, noting how he often consults with field leaders, educators, families, and communities. This approach, they said, reflects the same principles of good governance they promote within their own ranks.
PASS reiterated its commitment to work closely with DepEd and support reforms that prioritize:
• Quality and future-ready education for all Filipino learners
• Professional growth and well-being of teachers and school leaders
• Transparent and accountable governance in the education system
• Evidence-based policymaking and continuity of long-term reforms
At a time when the education sector is still recovering from post-pandemic challenges, PASS emphasized that stability and unified leadership are essential. They assured the public that they are standing firmly behind Secretary Angara and are ready to participate proactively in efforts to create a more resilient, learner-centered, and trustworthy education system.
The statement ends on a strong note:
PASS remains committed to moving forward—“steadfast, collaborative, and dedicated to the future of Philippine basic education.”
