Every time I hear this words my minds pop up like a disclaimer window, pointing out a topic that you should not ignore or let go. Education in the Philippines are now facing a new challenge, why? Graduates are millions in number, but few of them can only find a right job in a right time and become qualified and competent locally and internationally.
It's so hard to pin point who's really to be blame, because in our country, the problem is not only on the people, the government itself has also a big part of it. Well, if you will ask me about it the only reason why we have a poor performance in education is "poverty". If you belong to the top 10 schools from preschool to higher level of your education, you might have a good future! Be realistic, how many of those poor people who can get into a nice, clean, well ventilated, and fully equipped school in the country? very few!
However, it seems like fighting poverty has no end, I am glad to see that our government has plans to improve our education systems.
In the Higher Education they have now forced to implement a memo regarding to the minimum requirements of all college teachers/faculty. What is that? they should have their masters degree and deans should have their doctorate degree on taking this position. (PA VIII, Section 35(1) CHED Memo Order 40 Series 2008)
In the Department of Education, they are planning to prolong the number of years in the elementary and secondary levels. It's also a wise decision but I hope they make sure that the teachers, facilities and rooms are enough to cover the those requirements.
Also, I hope someday our government sponsor trainings for International Certifications for the skill development of our faculties that are in the public schools to follow what ever trend in the market specially in IT.
