EDUCATION SECRETARY JESLI LAPUS on Saturday voiced his support for a bill filed by an opposition congressman that seeks to penalize parents who refuse to send their children to school.
Lapus said he welcomed the proposed law, noting that such a sanction on parents was practiced in other countries.”I agree with that. All school-aged children in basic education must be in school. That’s the standard practice in other countries,” Lapus told reporters.
