Former Defense Secretary and senatorial candidate Gilbert (GIBO) Teodoro aims for a research-based learning rather than lecture-type curriculum for tertiary education that will enhance the capability of students on research and development.

Gibo Teodoro, a lawyer and the 1989 bar topnotcher, said college curriculum should be more on discussing and submitting concepts and research papers, with the exception of science and mathematics. Through this type of learning, the search for knowledge will be embedded among students.

“Your process and method of learning will improve if you have a research-based teaching concept rather than lecture-based. You will develop the habit of researching and upgrading your skills because learning is a life-long endeavor,” Teodoro said.

The former Tarlac congressman added that research-based learning helps students develop their intellectual skills and critical analysis which are critical abilities when they join the workforce.

Education reform is one of Gibo Teodoro’s seven-pillar political platform. The senatorial aspirant aims for quality education that is accessible to all, enriching the curriculum in all education levels to provide more learning opportunities to Filipinos.
