CHR commends DepEd for expanded CDCs

THE Commission on Human Rights (CHR) on Wednesday lauded the Department of Education’s  (DepEd) initiative to build 300 child development centers (CDCs) in poor areas to expand access to early childhood education.

“The Commission views this initiative as a vital step in fulfilling the State’s obligation to uphold the rights of every Filipino child — to protection, development and education. Providing early learning opportunities in underserved areas helps break cycles of inequality and promotes every child’s inherent dignity,” the CHR cited.

The initiative is a collaborative effort between the DepEd and the Department of Budget and Management, reflecting their shared commitment to building an education system that is accessible to everyone.

The two agencies inked a joint circular to carry out the program that would directly address the urgent need for early childhood care and development in fourth- and fifth-class  municipalities that lack adequate infrastructure and support.
