Spanish Lesson for Selected High School

The Department of Education starts this coming school year the teaching of
Spanish in selected public high schools to better prepare Filipino students in
communicating a widely-used second language.

The program shall initially offer Spanish in one school per region. There will be
two classes of 35 students each per school. The pilot schools and their teachers shall be selected by the DepEd Regional Office based on the criteria for selection.

Lapus added that the pilot schools will also be selected based on the availability
of classrooms and support facilities and equipment like computer laboratory with
at least ten computers and headsets to support speech lessons.
