Back to basics: tackling PH education challenges MBOpinions READ:
At the Basic Education Summit convened by the Department of Education this week, both President Marcos and Vice President Duterte, who is also education secretary, emphasized the government’s determination to do what is needed to ensure that the country’s youth reap the benefits of quality education that would make them globally competitive.
Before World War II, the country’s basic education program consisted of grades one to seven plus four years of high school or a total of 11 years. Every new pathfinding endeavor is fraught with challenges and difficulties. Due to the country’s highly skewed income distribution profile, those in the lowest economic classes have encountered serious difficulties in sending and keeping their children in school. According to the Department of Social Welfare and Development’s 2022 survey, some 5.6 million Filipino families are living in poverty; this translates to roughly 22.4 million or about a fifth of the country’s population.
From 34 percent in 2010, the country’s poverty rate had been reduced to 21.1 percent in 2018. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the poverty rate rose to 23.7 percent in the first half of 2021. According to NEDA estimates, around 3.9 million more Filipinos were pushed down the poverty line. However, according to Dr. Limlingan’s paper, Covid-19 virtually wiped out the gains achieved during the past two decades. Based on the 2020 update of Global Database on Education Quality the Philippines’ rating is the worst among all Southeast Asian countries. Other lower middle-income countries such as Vietnam Cambodia and Myanmar performed better than the Philippines.
