ELEKSYON 2025: Comelec, TESDA ink partnership for voter education

The Commission on Elections (Comelec) and the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) on Wednesday signed a memorandum of agreement (MOA) for voter education for the upcoming 2025 national and local elections (NLE).

Under the MOA, Comelec chairperson George Erwin Garcia said voter education would be integrated into the TESDA curriculum.

It will be promoted through pre-taped seminars, and orientations on the registration process and requirements, as well as other crucial information needed by voters in participating in Eleksyon 2025.

“Dito po…’yung integration ng voter education sa curriculum na ino-offer ng TESDA,” said Garcia in his speech during the MOA signing.

(Voter education will be integrated into the TESDA curriculum.)

“Hindi kaya ng Comelec na isagawa ang halalan ng isa lang…The business of election is not only the business of Comelec, but the business of the entire country. There should be a whole of nation approach when it comes to elections,” he added.

(The Comelec cannot conduct the elections alone. The business of election is not only the business of Comelec, but the business of the entire country. There should be a whole of nation approach when it comes to elections.)

Garcia led the Comelec delegation while Director General Secretary Suharto Mangundadatu led the TESDA. — Sundy Locus/RSJ, GMA Integrated News
