Rights Without Responsibility Hinder Progress

Student protection matters, but without cooperation, programs fail.

In many schools today, one truth is becoming painfully clear: progress is impossible without students' participation. Stated by Principal II, Richard Celo of Surallah Central Elementary School, during the third Municipal-Wide Journalist Training, the principal is the captain of the ship—they must be responsible in leading schools.

And this is exactly the problem we face now.
