Did you ever noticed the low literacy rate of our country ? That in all of the countries on the whole world , Philippines have the least number of years spent on school following Bhutan and Nepal which have eleven years spent on school. That's why the Department of Education (DepEd) , together with our President P-Noy propose a bill regarding to the additional two more years for elementary and secondary level.
This proposal is part of P-noy's Educational Reform Program. The administration asserts that with the implementation of such program, the problem of unemployment in the country will be resolved. In as much as employment in the Philippines is concerned, the K12 education also responds to the fact that most countries in the world already have the same plan in their educational institutions. With this, the standards of these countries go a notch higher than what the country has, thus, creating an expansion in the global competency.
While the reaction of the public is divided, where some are in favor and some
are not, here are several issues that point out to the aggression of opposing groups
especially the parents to this program. One of the main problems in the Philippines
which the government needs to resolve is the lack of school and classrooms in the
different parts of the country. It is important that students stay in a place that is
conducive for study while they are away from home. In addition, with teachers go
abroad to teach, or do another job, there is already a shortage of educators in
schools that mold the minds of learners. And this deficiency has become a problem
for the country in the past several years. Finally, there is a need for students to
utilize the appropriate instructional materials and school equipment for them to
learn and gain the necessary knowledge in school. This lack of accessibility in books
and other school supplies clearly manifest the scarcity in the public schools in the
country.
