MANILA, Philippines — The Alliance of Concerned Teachers (ACT) on Sunday called out the Department of Education (DepEd) over the 12 to 19 months' delay in the distribution last year of P53 million worth of electronic gadgets to Cavite public school teachers. Citing a recent Commission on Audit (COA) report, ACT said 'these lapses played a major reason why the state cannot break free from the learning crisis.' In its 2022 audit report on Cavite province, the COA noted a 'significant delay' in the DepEd division office's submission of a purchase request, the posting of the procurement opportunity, and the distribution of the gadgets to public school teachers and personnel.
