BTA Science & Tech committee deliberates proposed BARMM science high school system

A measure seeking to establish a Bangsamoro Science High School System was deliberated on in a meeting held this morning, April 5, by the Bangsamoro Parliament’s Committee on Science and Technology.

The Parliament Bill No. 37, also known as the "Bangsamoro Science High School System (BSHS) System Act of 2022," which was introduced by the Government of the Day, will offer a scholarship program to qualified learners in the region who want to pursue a profession in science and technology.

Various regional and national experts, as well as relevant stakeholders from all provinces and cities within BARMM and other science high schools, will be consulted during a series of public consultations and hearings planned for the proposed measure.

The COST members agreed also to jointly convene a meeting with the Committee on Basic, Higher, and Technical Education and the Committee on Finance, Budget, and Management, and to refer PB No. 37 to that committee as well.
