The council anchored the approval of the resolution to the existing policy of the State that recognizes the role of youth in nation building and shall promote and protect their physical, moral, spiritual, intellectual and social wellbeing.

One of the present administration’s core point agenda is empowering the youth which through the said measure provides the students with vast recognition of their role as citizens and productive members of the society.

The observance of Students’ Day is separate and distinct from the annual celebration of the Linggo ng Kabataan which has been put on hold over the past 2 years due to the COVID-19 pandemic that prevented the conduct of in-person gatherings to contain the rapid spread of the deadly virus. – Dexter A.
