For decades, access to quality education has been a defining factor in shaping the future of young Filipinos. In District 3, Quezon City Cong. Allan Reyes has remained committed to ensuring that every student receives equal opportunities to succeed. Through strong leadership and community-driven programs, students now have the tools they need to thrive in an increasingly competitive world.
Transforming Education Through Action
The YES sa Edukasyon para sa Lahat initiative is more than just a campaign promise—it is a long-term investment in the youth. Through strategic programs and infrastructure improvements, students at every educational level are given the chance to succeed. These initiatives include:
- Educational Support from Elementary to College – Ensuring that no student is left behind by providing continuous financial and academic aid.
- Efficient Scholarship Processing – Simplifying applications so that financial assistance is more accessible and transparent.
- Upgraded Learning Environments – Modernizing classrooms, dormitories, function halls, and school sanitation facilities to create better learning spaces.
- Employment Opportunities for Working Students – Establishing partnerships with businesses to provide livelihood programs that help students earn while studying.
A Student’s Perspective: The Power of Accessible Education
For many young scholars, these programs have been life-changing. John Vincent Cebrero, a Grade 12 STEM student, shares his experience:
“Kaya #YESnaALL ako kay Cong. Allan Reyes dahil inklusibo ang kanyang mga programa na nasaksihan ko na sa aking pag-aaral.”
His words reflect the impact of a leadership that prioritizes education and ensures that no student is left behind. Countless others share similar stories—testaments to the difference that targeted educational programs can make.
Sustaining Educational Growth for Future Generations
Quality education is not just about the present—it is an ongoing commitment to the next generation of leaders, innovators, and professionals. The goal is simple:
- No student should struggle to access scholarships or financial support.
- The right to education should not be dictated by income or social status.
As a strong advocate for equal educational opportunities, Cong. Allan Reyes reinforces this belief:
“Dapat hindi na kayo naghahabol pa para lamang sa scholarship. Kahit sino ang nakaupo, dapat natatanggap ninyo palagi ang mga benepisyong nakalaan sa inyo.”
Strengthening Educational Advocacy Through Policy
A strong educational system requires both grassroots initiatives and national policy support. One such policy is the Public Schools of the Future in Technology (PSOFT) Act, which reinforces Cong. Allan Reyes’ advocacy by:
- Modernizing public school education through technology-driven learning.
- Improving digital access to ensure students and teachers benefit from interactive educational tools.
- Developing 21st-century classrooms that prepare students for the demands of the global workforce.
Legislation like this ensures that programs such as YES sa Edukasyon para sa Lahat remain sustainable and continue to evolve with the changing educational landscape.
A Call to Action: Education as a National Priority
Education is more than just a policy issue—it is a national responsibility. Ensuring that every child receives the best learning opportunities requires collaboration between the government, private sector, and the community.
Supporting these initiatives means:
- Advocating for increased funding for public education.
- Promoting fair and transparent scholarship distribution.
- Strengthening teacher training and student welfare programs.
With YES sa Edukasyon para sa Lahat, District 3, Quezon City is setting a standard for inclusive, progressive, and transformative education. A brighter future begins with a firm commitment today.
