#driver education program

of the 2nd District of Davao del Norte filed the House Bill 5425 which seeks to include driver’s education on 4th year high school’s curriculum. The measure mandates the Department of Education to adopt course contents standards for the driver's education, which shall include knowledge of the operation and maintenance of motor vehicle, road traffic rules and regulations and mental and physical components of driving. Likewise, as provided under the bill, students under the driver's education program shall be taught correct eye usage, defensive driving, effects of alcohol, drugs and distraction on the driving task, and trouble shooting skills. Upon finishing the driver education program, the student will receive a “certificate of completion” which he/she can use to apply for a student driver’s permit in lieu of passing the standard test that LTO conducts for student driver license applicants. The initiative reflects a broader trend of integrating cryptocurrency education into financial literacy programs, particularly among younger users who are more likely to engage with digital assets and fintech platforms. Grab has launched a pilot of its Driver AI Ambassador Program in the Philippines. Grab says the program allows it to produce more educational and factual content efficiently while keeping stories grounded in authentic driver input.
