Teacher training needed to remedy subject mismatch – Gatchalian

Sen. Sherwin Gatchalian is advocating for teacher training to tackle the significant issue of mismatched teaching subjects with college majors, as highlighted by the Edcom II report. This misalignment, particularly in Physical Education, is causing educational gaps and impacting student learning. Gatchalian's call is essential for improving the quality of education and ensuring teachers are well-equipped to teach the subjects they're assigned, which is crucial for better academic outcomes and student engagement. This move could help address broader educational challenges and foster a more competent teaching workforce.
