Three months after two major education advocacy groups namely the Philippine Business for Education and the Alliance of Concerned Teachers denounced mass promotion or the practice of advancing students to the next grade without requiring them to meet specific academic standards, there is yet no concrete move on the part of the concerned entities to address the issue.
