The Southeast Asia Primary Learning Metrics (SEA-PLM) 2024 report reveals that 42% of grade 5 students in the Philippines share reading textbooks, indicating a significant decline in availability compared to 2019. Only 52% have their own textbook, while 7% lack access entirely. This lags behind other Southeast Asian countries like Myanmar and Vietnam, where 100% of students have their own copy.
