Career

In September 2024, Yee received endorsements to lead the Cabinet cluster on education. The Coordinating Council of Private Educational Associations of the Philippines (COCOPEA) supported his nomination as special assistant to the president for education.[6][7]

Academic work

[edit]

Yee's research centers on education policy and teacher leadership within the Philippines. His doctoral dissertation at the University of Cambridge explored teacher leadership in Philippine public schools, offering insights into educational leadership within the developing world.[8]
