Ang General Education Movement–PUP (GEM-PUP) ay isang kolektibong inisyatiba ng mga mag-aaral, g**o, at mga tagapagtaguyod ng edukasyon na naglalayong protektahan, paunlarin, at ipagtanggol ang General Education (GE) courses bilang mahalagang bahagi ng paghubog ng mga mag-aaral na may kritikal na pag-iisip, kamalayang panlipunan, at malasakit sa bayan.

Sa kasalukuyan, nahaharap sa banta ang GE courses dahil sa panukalang Reframed General Education Curriculum (RGEC) na naglalayong bawasan ang GE units mula 36 units tungo sa 18–21 units. Bagaman ipinapakita itong reporma sa kurikulum, mahalagang suriin ang magiging epekto nito sa kalidad at lawak ng edukasyong natatanggap ng mga mag-aaral.

Ang GE courses ay hindi simpleng mga asignaturang kailangang matapos. Ito ang mga kursong nagtuturo sa atin ng kasaysayan, kultura, wika, lipunan, pilosopiya, at iba pang larangang mahalaga sa paghubog ng mga mamamayang mulat, mapanuri, at may pananagutan sa sambayanan. Kapag lumiit ang espasyong inilaan para sa mga kursong ito, nanganganib ding lumiit ang espasyo para sa mas malalim na pag-unawa sa ating lipunan at bayan.

Hinihikayat ang lahat ng mag-aaral, g**o, at kawani na dumalo at mag-anyaya pa ng iba. Mas magiging malakas ang ating panawagan kung mas marami ang sama-samang kikilos at magsasalita.

BASAHIN | PAHAYAG NG PUP OPEN UNIVERSITY SYSTEM STUDENT COUNCIL HINGGIL SA ICC WARRANT AT PANANAGUTAN NI SEN. RONALD “BATO” DELA ROSA

Habang maraming pamilyang Pilipino ang hanggang ngayon ay naghahanap ng hustisya, nakikita ang tahasang pagmamakawa at pagtatangkang umiwas sa pananagutan kaugnay ng ICC warrant laban kay Sen. Ronald “Bato” dela Rosa. Dagdag pa rito ang ilang buwang pagkawala at pagiging absentee nito sa Senado habang patuloy na pinapasahod mula sa kaban ng bayan.

Mariing naninindigan ang PUP Open University System Student Council laban sa anumang pag-abuso sa kapangyarihan, paglabag sa karapatang pantao, at paggamit ng impluwensya upang takasan ang pananagutan. Hindi dapat manaig ang selective justice kung saan ang ordinaryong mamamayan ay madaling maparusahan habang ang mga nasa kapangyarihan ay patuloy na napoprotektahan.

Inaanyayahan namin ang lahat ng IskOUlar ng Bayan na patuloy na maging mulat, mapanuri, at makiisa sa pagsusulong ng hustisya, pananagutan, at tunay na demokrasya.
