MANILA, Philippines — The Commission of Human Rights (CHR) has joined calls to pass measures that would improve the employability of senior high school graduates under the K-12 program.
It said such a bill would give senior high school graduates added competitiveness in the country’s workforce.
“Given the growing demand for a more expansive labor market in the Philippines, the Commission fully supports these proposed bills to accommodate and adapt seamlessly according to the need to offer sustainable opportunities to SHS graduates while ensuring that they [can] enhance their employability and competitiveness in the workforce,” the CHR said in its statement Thursday.
