Recently, another self-learning module once again facing criticisms for alleged discrimination against nurses. In the photo shown in the learning material, there are drawings of people and the description of their lines of work. In the photo, it was stated that
“Ang karpintero ang gumagawa ng bahay. (The carpenter makes the house.) Ang nars ang katulong o kasama ng doctor. (The nurse is the assistant or companion of the doctor.) Ang chef ang tagaluto ng masasarap na pagkain. (The chef cooks delicious food.)”
