Manila gov’t vows to invest in GMRC, STEM programs in 2021


The Manila City government vowed on Tuesday to bring back the Good Manners and Right Conduct (GMRC) program and invest in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) laboratories in 2021.

Manila Mayor Isko Moreno and Department of Education (DepEd) officials convened to discuss efforts such as GMRC seminars for students and teachers.

"Kapag nabalik ‘yung respect to point of views, importante iyon. While we argue, while we disagree, but there is a certain level of respect among each other, sa tingin ko tatamaan lahat ‘yun,” he said.

Moreno also said the Manila government will invest in science and math laboratories in a bid to strengthen the STEM program for senior high schools.

Under Republic Act 11476 signed by President Rodrigo Duterte in June this year, a separate GMRC subject must be offered to Grade 1 to 12 students.

The DepEd earlier said it would include GMRC in the K-12 program despite the challenges posed by online learning amid the coronavirus pandemic.  — DVM, GMA News
