Public Education In The Phillipines


Recommended Posts

Take home pay ng mga public school teachers wala pang 10k. Ilang years na nilang ipini-petition na sana umabot ng 18k at least salary ng teachers. May naapprove ngayon kaya lang installment pa gagawing increase.

 

Ang punto dito, kung ang magaling na teacher araw-araw po-problemahin kung paano pagkakasyahin ang kinikita nila, di sila makakapagperform ng maayos.

 

Again, Hindi excuse yan, SAAN KA BA NAMAN NAKAKITA NA ANG ENGLISH TEACHER MISMO NA NAGTUTURO NG ENGLISH SUBJECT SA ESTUDYANTE AY HINDI MARUNONG MAG ENGLISH NG MAAYOS?! EH ANONG MATUTUTUNAN NG ESTUDYENTE NYA SA KANYA EH DI PURO MALI DIN.

I have nothing but admiration for public school teachers. They toil under poor conditions: low pay, inadequate teaching materials, and little chance for promotion; yet, they carry on their mission with nary a complaint (except of course, the militant ones). Many great leaders today, Chief Justice Reynato Puno for example, owe their education to the public schools and the public school teachers.

I read in today's newspaper that the passing grade for grade six students in the public schools have been downgraded to 66%!. Now where do you think we are headed for with this kind of standard?. Tsk tsk tsk, talagang paurong na nga ang Pilipinas!!

 

 

Not only that, I heard that they will even shorthen the classroom hours of the students. What can we expect of public school graduates if this is the kind of education they can get?

bro let's say di nga ganun kagagaling mag english mga teachers natin

pero ginagawa nila ang lahat para matuto ang estudyante..

 

maraming factors kung bakit mababa ang kalidad ng edukasyon sa pinas

at hindi mo pwede isisi lang yan sa teachers..

 

teacher din po ako at kita ko ang dedikasyon ng pinoy teachers

diyan sa pinas mapa public man o private

at dito sa abroad mapa full time teachers man o teacher assistant

It's too late to post here, although I would like to air something.

 

I tutored two public school students late last year to early this year. The subjects I covered: Math, Science and English.

 

Here are the things that I noticed:

 

2nd year HS student:

 

-Can't even solve for the value of x in a simple equation

-Can't even multiply 5 digit numbers if not given about 2 hours to solve a 10 problem page. Then gets 2/10 score

-Can't identify a specimen from common name to scientific name

-Can't even identify the basic parts of a gumamela flower

-Can't make complete sentences using English

-Demonstrates no knowledge of basic subject-verb agreement

-Doesn't know when and how to use prepositions and articles

-Can't form plural of nouns both regular and irregular

-Does not know the simple past tense of regular and irregular verbs

-Tested listening skills by playing a DVD in English and giving comprehension test - got a score of 2/20

 

Other 2nd year HS students

 

-Blank grade in the class card for one grading period

-Miraculously passed grade in the next grading period

-Same deficiencies as noted above

 

4th year HS students

 

-Blank grade in the class card for one grading period

-Miracle save the next grading period

-Same deficiencies as noted above

-Graduated from HS last March

 

6th grade Elementary student

 

- Can't multiply decimals efficiently

- Can't understand word problems

- Can't form plural and past tense

- Can't construct basic sentences (S-V-O)

- Can't read properly

- Can't introduce herself in English

- Graduated from 6th grade last March

 

If the above mentioned problems are not an indictment of the public school system, I don't know what is. I understand the plight of those teachers who really chose vocation over profession. However, is it right to pass students for the sake of passing them without making so that they don't crowd the room on the next school year? If this is the case, then I don't have to wonder why the country is not improving. We're placing our futures in the hands of those who can't even spell right to save their own lives.

 

Am not saying the whole public school system is in the same boat as that of the school from which the above mentioned come from. However, they can be a great indicator that the government has forgotten one key aspect to make the nation better. Giving the opportunity to the younger generation to build a better lives for themselves.

Lets please not generalize and condemn the public school system. This issue with stupid students exists in any country; it's not unique to the Philippines.

The mere fact that you needed to tutor them means they probably were at the tail-end of the curve. So they may not be representative of the lot.

 

You can't solve the problem in one big swoop. Resources are limited. So you concentrate your resources on people who could produce more over time. Ergo, you have special government schools, e.g., science high schools and state universities. High student selectivity, fewer students, focused learning. What comes out? Really smart people with high upsides. People who could help build the country from within OR siphon the money out of the industrialized nations and into to the Philippines. Hopefully, you'll build a critical mass of professionals who would rather work for nation-building than ask for more gov't dole-outs. And this is happening right now. So I urge people to temper the gloom and doom. We are improving. The Philippines is getting better.

Sorry, but if there's one thing that I would not agree with is calling any student stupid for any matter.

 

As for the quality of education, I've known people who came from regular public schools, not the science high schools but did well in life. That's the thing, we focus on those specialized high schools which to use your words have high student selectivity, fewer students, etc. But the question still remains, how about regular public schools which is more accessible to those less fortunate students? Should we sacrifice their quality in favor of those science high schools?

I know that every educator would like to believe that all students are equally capable of learning. Well, that's romantic and all. But genetics tell a different story. Humans are not born equal. You give two persons the same level of training and they will not have the same aptitude.

 

And sorry, I'm not the one to sugarcoat reality. The labels become derogatory precisely because we put too much emphasis on their negative, emotionally-charged connotations. To me a stupid person is someone far below the norm - it is as factually, clinically dry as it can get. It is what it is. Calling him "special" or "needing of guidance", etc doesn't change the fact that he is intellectually uncompetitive.

Should we sacrifice their quality in favor of those science high schools?

 

again, we're talking anecdotes versus statistics. apples to oranges. I also know people from public non-science HS who did good in life. So I don't discount that. But here's the deal, I would bet my life that the success rate of people from specialized highs schools and state universities are far higher than those of non-science HS and state universities; the ratio of successful professionals to specialized school graduates is far higher than that of professionals to general public school graduates. And it is even likely that the total income of that small minority will likely be more than the combined income of all the professionals from general public schools.

 

The concept of pooling your resources to develop your top talent isn't something new. In fact, it is a tried and tested ASIAN formula. All the "miracle economies", e.g., Japan, Singapore, Taiwan, Hongkong, etc, have adopted that policy. Why? because top talents bring you exponential gains; they eventually give more money back than what you spend on them.

 

You ask me a question abt regular schools and the less fortunate and my answer is YES. Whilst it is counter-intuitive to sacrifice the likely majority for a few, this is actually a better policy than the egalitarian system that you seem to suggest. Remember that you have a small pie. If you split that equally over a multitude just so you satisfy your desire for "fairness", you'd end up giving each one crumbs - too little to satisfy hunger, maybe a bit insulting too. So not only that you really didn't substantially feed anyone, you also piss them off. Now, if you split that small pie and gave a bigger share to the smart ones, those well-fed smart ones could eventually grow up and learn to bake more pies. They then could help you feed the less smart ones.

 

The concept of maximizing returns by intelligently investing resources is well ingrained in business and economics. I don't get it that we just throw reason out of the window when we suddenly are dealing with social sciences, like humans are all of a sudden immune to the principles of basic math.

 

Now, am I advocating that we simply abandon those less smart kids? NO. We need Indians as much as we need Chiefs. So the right approach is to invest in them commensurate to what they can give in return; to each according to his abilities. Obviously, even among the Indians, there will be ranks. Some might break out, have an epiphany and become Chiefs themselves. All the better.

 

As for the rest of the Indians, don't feel too bad for them. They have come a long way since. In the olden times, they'd be sold as slaves, asked to fight wars and die, or simply die out of abject poverty. Now, we have social security, labor laws, and we have NGOs to come to their aid. Oh, and they can vote nincompoops in office. So with that perspective, it isn't that bad. It's not good, definitely could be better. But let's not overreact and be gloomy with all these. We're too soft as a people. We need to toughen up a bit.

So the bottom line is, as far as you're conerned, invest more resources on assets which promise a higher rate of return. The observation that some students show more promise because they display seemingly higher intelligence may be the result of proper motivation rather than plain intelligence. These students are fortunate to have good teachers, good facilities, good motivation. Students who may be equally intelligent but are unfortunate to have bad teachers, poor facilities, and poor motivation may tend to score lower than their more fortunate counterparts.

 

Then again, what's the point in investing in these "bright kids" if these students decide one day they want to seek greener pastures elsewhere? How does investing in these kids' education today emsure that they will one day re-invest their knowledge into our society?

 

Let's face it. The smart kids who eventually become successful leave this country to make something of themselves abroad. The not so smart kids and those smart kids who never made anything of themsleves because of lack of opportunity remain here.

 

This has been going on since time immemorial. Let's not delude ourselves into thinking the future of education in this country is all hunky dory.

far as I know the salaries of teachers in public schools have become almost at par if not a little higher than in some private schools and that's the reason why some private schools are losing their teachers who decide to transfer to the public school system. this may good but I still think a ladderized school program that allows students to go on to regular 4 or 5 year courses after finishing tech-voc courses that give opportunities for employment is essential so we can have more graduates coming out of the 4-5 yr courses that give better chances for employment both outside and abroad. this will help decrease unemployment and also reduce poverty

madami kasi problema ang public school. sa totoo lang ayaw naman kasi ng gobyerno na maging edukado ang mga mahihirap.

kung marunong mag isip para sa sarili ang masa sa tingin nyo ba mananalo pa sa pulitika yung mga magnanakaw na yan...

 

mas gusto ng mga naka pwesto na nag hihirap ang tao kasi sa dami ng problema ng mga mahihirap masyado na sila distracted para problemahin pa ang mga issue ng bayan.

 

pag inayos mo yung education system ng bansa wala nang pag asa yung mga pulitiko, kaya pinababayaan talaga nila yang mga public schools at state universities natin.

Oo na. Marami na tayong alam tungkol sa Public School system not being effective. Question is what are we going to do to help? Wala rin? Eh di pareho lang tayo.

 

If the government itself can’t do anything to help its own system, how much more the other? Yeah sure we can blame anyone and anything endlessly but let’s just be aware that we are part of the system thus far.

 

This may sound too cliché but why don’t we look around and look at ourselves, then, and only then we can realize that the problem is also within us. So it boils down now to self-reliant, that is, if this ‘self’ (being hyphenated with 'reliant' or as compound words) rings a bell to many.

they (government officials) dont wanna fix the public school system for one reason: Votes!

 

Hows the population of the poor in the PH? you know the approximate figures. That means more student in the public school. The more they keep the public school system a crap, the more people will have crap education with a mind that can easily be twisted. Therefore, soon, when they grow 18year of age, they can easily be manipulated into voting the candidate who handed them what? 100peso bill? 100 peso bill?

 

maybe not all, but thats how it works, the more stupid eligible voters are there in the country, the corrupt people can easily manipulate things. its a cycle.

Just to share some thoughts about the topic... I agree.:) It may seem that it only stems from the values and commitment of the ones who are running the education system. from the local schools to the national agencies, but in reality, the other side is what we learn at home, Value System... it Includes us.

 

Recently may nagpakamatay na college student in Bicol, people are blaming the government for it. Agree na may mas mabigat responsbilities ang government (this includes the school). PERO! may responsibilities din ang parents and peers nung bata. As said earlier the government cannot do things alone. based from experience, It starts with the employees who do not seem to know why they are in the government... yung iba dapat mag retire na dahil ayaw na gawin ang trabaho nila (may senior at seniority complex na), yung iba naman gusto lang sweldo hindi trabaho (apparently magkaiba pla yung sweldo at trabaho- which should be cleared sa hiring process), yung iba na with the high ideals and values and at the start wants and initiates "positive/progressive/change" kaso naging inutil dahil "nakain" or gets burnt out by the system. we have a long way to go in terms of Human resource, but the policies are there, the systems can be developed and enhanced to suit us socio-culturally... sabi nga... "ang mas matinding kalaban ay ang sarili".
