Following the directive of President Bongbong Marcos, the Commission on Higher Education and the Maritime Industry Authority (MARINA) will be rolling out a new maritime curriculum soon.
The revised curriculum comes after the European Union continues to recognize the certificates of Filipino seafarers.
But a seafarers’ union and some maritime schools hope that the new curriculum will comply with international standards, since this is the fifth time that government agencies are changing it.
