Education Secretary Sonny Angara calls on schools nationwide to fully utilize Parent-Teacher Associations (PTAs) as partners in preventing school violence and protecting learners. Speaking as the Department of Education continues strengthening school security measures, Angara emphasizes that safeguarding children requires closer coordination among schools, families, communities, and government. He points to existing policy guidance that provides a framework for PTAs’ role in school safety efforts. Sources cite DepEd Order No. 13, s. 2022, which includes the “Omnibus PTA Guidelines,” describing how PTAs can support child protection and improve collaboration between parents and teachers. Under the guidelines, PTAs are presented as a platform for identifying potential concerns early, supporting learners, and helping mobilize community involvement around child protection. Overall, the Department’s message is that PTAs should be actively engaged in school-level initiatives, complementing broader security measures to reduce risks of violence in and around schools.
