of Spanish will be held in Instituto Cervantes Manila from 10 April to 24 May.
A total of one hundred and twenty one teachers will take part in the course (ninety

In 2013/14 eighty Secondary Public Schools and four Regional Centers from TESDA

Secondary Education.
The Graduation Ceremony will take place in the Central Office of the Department of
Education on 24 May and will be presided by Secretary of Education Armin Luistro
