Duterte To Remove Algebra, Trigonometry and Calculus in Curriculum

Last year, presidential candidate now presumptive pre-elected president Duterte told during a thanksgiving dinner at Bonifacio Global City that if he will win the election, he would replace Algebra, Trigonometry and Calculus with business math. Now that he won, will he still pursue this idea?

On December 2015, the students and professionals were in shock after knowing that the presidential frontrunner Rodrigo Duterte would remove Algebra, Trigonometry and Calculus from the school curriculum and replace them with business math. The said idea rooted way back when Duterte was still a student. According to him, the said subjects aren�t   essential and served no purpose in job hunting.

�You know there are crazy things. It does not serve the purpose at all. Pinapahirapan lang ang mga bata (you just make it hard for the kids), Business Math and Statistics, pwede pa,� Duterte said.


The presidential front runner added that students must not be pressured by �sine� and �cosine�. He also admitted that he suffered drawing line graphs when he was still studying. Physics and Geometry, on the other hand, would remain in the curriculum according to Duterte.

5 months after Duterte said that he would replace Algebra, Trigonometry and Calculus with business math, now that he won the election, the presumptive pre-elected president has no answer whether he�ll pursue the idea or not since he�s busy with much more important things than this that will benefit the majority.
