Aprubado sa Senado ang bilyong budget ng Department of Education (DepEd) sa 2025 na pinangunahan ni Budget Sponsor Senator Pia Cayetano, at dinepensahan naman ni DepEd Secretary Edgardo "Sonny" Angara noong Biyernes, Nobyembre 8.

Matapos ang masusing deliberasyon, inaprubahan ng Senado ang ₱793.74 bilyong pondo ng kagawaran sa darating na 2025, batay na rin sa ulat ng DepEd.

“Mr. President, in the past years during the budget season, we have always tried to be sustainable but also resilient to future challenges, all well considering intergenerational fairness. This is the idea that the needs of the present generation should be met without compromising the needs of the future generations,” pahayag ni Senadora Cayetano sa kaniyang sponsorship speech.

“I extend our gratitude to our Chairman of the Committee on Finance Senator Poe for granting some of the Committee’s proposals,” dagdag pa.
