MANILA, Philippines — Senator Joel Villanueva on Thursday underscored the need to strengthen the K-12 curriculum to address the issue of jobs-skills mismatch and underemployment in the country. “We need to focus on resolving jobs-skills mismatch if we are to address underemployment in the country,” Villanueva said in a statement. “Kasama sa pag-aayos ng mismatch na ito ang pagpapalakas sa K-12 curriculum, partikular sa Senior High School. “I look forward to the results of the K-12 curriculum review being conducted by DepEd. I am also eager to work closer with Secretary Briones and DepEd in the 18th Congress to improve the quality of education in the country,” Villanueva said.
