Recent discussions have highlighted a concerning trend: the spread of misinformation regarding the functions and responsibilities of the Department of Education. Many community members have expressed their dismay at how this misinformation is being used to create divisions among them.
The Department of Education plays a crucial role in shaping educational policies, ensuring equal access to quality education for all students, and providing support to schools and educators. Its mission includes promoting student achievement and fostering educational excellence through various programs and initiatives.
