Speaking in front of hundreds of teacher-leaders during the 2nd Zamboanga del Sur Assembly of Teacher-Leaders at the mega gym in barangay Dao here, Yu, the event’s guest of honor and speaker said that he observed that the number of students taking Science courses is decreasing. The governor saw the importance of the Science related course when a number of technical men in China from Chinese Energy Engineering Corporation  consisting of civil engineers, geologists, and hydrologists visited his office to announce their plan to put up a hydroelectric power plant project in province. "Their presence is what prompted my attention to the careers they took," Yu said.

The good governor said that usually the students of the province choose the education, nursing and criminology courses because these are the in-demand courses, while there are only very few science-related courses offered by our government.

The governor added that because of this, it has become a big challenge for teachers to encourage students to take Science related courses and careers.

Yu also announced that the provincial government recently signed an agreement with the Department of Science and Technology to set up a DOST hub in barangay Dao for students to use when they have experiments to do. He added that in the future, the provincial government will also build industries such as solar power so that the students will be interested in knowing how to convert sunshine into useful forms of energy.

Yu further announced that he and 1st district representative Divina Grace Yu strongly support DepEd's programs by providing more than 200 schools in the province with Victory Wi-fi and the provincial government will purchase the P14 million worth of equipment to strengthen the primary and secondary antenna to help improve the Wi-Fi signal for students to use in their research.
