Those who failed to get formal education may get to learn more through the Lifelong Learning scheme courtesy of Pusong Pinoy Partylist Rep. Jett Nisay.

In his statement released through the social media last Tuesday, Nisay said the House Appropriations Committee has approved funding for his proposed House Bill “Lifelong Learning Development Framework Act.”

The bill aims to institutionalize lifelong learning as part of national education policy. Under this scheme, anyone may continue schooling in pursuit of landing a good paying job, thus contributing to the national, regional and local community’s economic and social development program.

Some salient provisions of the bill: creation of Lifelong Learning Development Framework to be manned by Philippine Qualification Framework-National Coordinating Council (PQF-NCC); empowering the PQF-NCC to assign Learning Cities or Learning Municipalities; and creation of Lifelong Learning hubs with government agencies.

Nisay explained that local government units may utilize a percentage of the Special Education Fund for the Lifelong Learning program.

“With this proposed bill, we will push for inclusive, accessible, and quality education for all– young and adult, be in school, workplace, or in the community,” Nisay further explained.
