LEGAZPI CITY, May 4 (PIA) – The Provincial Education Department (PED) of Albay has lauded the schools in the province that has attained high scores in the National Achievement Test (NAT) for the year 2014.

Vice Governor Harold Ong Imperial said that the said recognition is part of the mission of the provincial government of Albay to create an educational system designed in such a way that Albayano children do not merely exist, but will be given the tools necessary to lead fulfilling lives.
“In Albay, we strive not only to provide basic education, but to develop an educational system that inculcates in our youth all the advantages that they would need to become productive members of the society and also become an investment that will pay off greatly in the future, both for their own personal lives and as Albayanos pitching in for the betterment of everyone,” Imperial said.
Among the schools recognized were those with high mean point scores by subject area which includes Science, Math, English, Filipino, and Araling Panlipunan long with schools that produced high overall mean point scores.
The recognized schools were given plaques, certificates and monetary awards.
Imperial further stated that this incentive system encourages the participation of every member of the community so that we can produce not only well educated students but also thinkers, movers and shakers.
Board Member Richard Benjamin Imperial, Chairman of the Committee on Education, also one of the guests during the said event, thanked all the teachers and principals in attendance for the great lengths they took to achieve their high performance.
“You are at the forefront of all of our achievements today, the Provincial Government of Albay, along with the Sangguniang Panlalawigan ng Albay can, and will, provide you with all the support that we can give, but it is still you who are out there every day educating the future of Albay, preparing us for the challenges that we will overcome, and for that we thank you,” Imperial said.
He also reported that the provincial government has approved a higher budget for the education programs of the PGA in the coming year and this will mean better access to quality education for all Albayanos.
He noted Albay Governor Joey Sarte Salceda’s full support to education allocating bigger budget for it.
