CHAPTER 1
History of the Philippine Educational System
Education in the Philippines evolved from early settlers to the present. Education in thecountry is in great importance because it is the primary avenue for upward social and
economic mobility. Philippine educational system has a very deep history from the past inwhich it has undergone several stage of development going to the present system of
education.Education from Ancient Early Filipinos
The education of pre-Spanish time in the Philippines was informal and unstructured. Thefathers taught their sons how to look for food and other means of livelihood. The mothers
taught their girls to do the household chores. This education basically prepared their childrento became good husband and wives.
Early Filipino ancestors valued education very much. Filipino men and women knows how toread and write using their own native alphabet called alibata. The alibata was composed of 17symbols representing the letters of the alphabet. Among these seventeen symbols were three
vowels and fourteen consonants.Educational System During Spanish Period
The educational system of the Philippines during the Spanish times was formal. The Religiouscongregations paved the way in establishing schools from the primary level to the tertiarylevel of education. The schools focused on the Christian Doctrines. There was a separate
school for boys and girls. The wealthy Filipinos or the Ilustrados were accommodated in theschools. Colonial education brought more non-beneficial effects to the Filipinos.
Educational Decree 1863
The first educational system for students in the country was established by virtue of theEducation Decree of 1863. In furtherance, the decree required the government to provide
school institutions for boys and girls in every town. As a consequence, the Spanish schoolsstarted accepting Filipino students. It was during this time when the intellectual Filipinos
emerged. The Normal School was also established which gave men the opportunity to study athree-year teacher education for the primary level.

Like the Spaniards, the Americans brought many changes in their 45 years of reign in thecountry. Until now, these American influences can still be seen in our lifestyle or way of life.

The Commonwealth provided free education in public schools all over the country, in
accordance with the 1935 constitution. Education also emphasized nationalism so the students
were taught about the life of the Filipino heroes. Vocational education and some householdactivities like sewing, cooking, and farming were also given importance.
Good manners and discipline were also taught to the students. The institute of PrivateEducation was established in order to observe private schools. In 1941, the total number ofstudents studying in the 400 private schools in the country reached 10,000. There was also theexistence of "Adult Education" in order to give formal education even to adults.
* American government gave importance to Education
Changes in Education During the Japanese Occupation
The government made some changes in the system of education in February, 1942. Thesechanges were:To stop depending on western countries like the U.S., and Great Britain. Promote and enrich
the Filipino culture.To recognize that the Philippines is a part of the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere so
that the Philippines and Japan will have good relations.To be aware of materialism to raise the morality of the Filipinos.
To learn and adopt Nippongo and to stop using the English language.To spread elementary and vocational education.
To develop love for work.Educational System in the Present Period
Philippine education is patterned after the American system, with English as the medium ofinstruction. Schools are classified into public (government) or private (non-government). Thegeneral pattern of formal education follows four stages: Pre-primary level (nursery,kindergarten and preparatory) offered in most private schools; six years of primary education,followed by four years of secondary education.College education usually takes four, sometimes five and in some cases as in medical and lawschools, as long as eight years. Graduate schooling is an additional two or more years. Classesin Philippine schools start in June and end in March. Colleges and universities follow thesemestral calendar from June-October and November-March. There are a number of foreignschools with study programs similar to those of the mother country. An overall literacy ratewas estimated at 95.9 percent for the total population in 2003, 96 % for males and 95.8 % forfemales.

CHAPTER 2
THE LITERATURE OF PHILIPPINE EDUCATION
FILIPINA SCHOOL GIRLS and their FILIPINA TEACHERS in MANILA
Education in the Philippines is based on the education system of the United States, with some
variations. Generally, compulsory elementary education runs for 6 years, while secondary
education takes 4 years. After high school there are vocational courses or colleges which offer
courses for a varying number of years depending on the course. University courses leading to a
bachelors degree are usually 4 years long. The school year, which is at least 200 days or 40
weeks long, generally begins on the first Monday in June and ends by the last Friday of March,
when the hot, dry season begins. School attendance takes place from Monday to Friday.
Pre-Hispanic periodEarly Filipinos usually taught their children at home, focusing more on vocational skills than
academics. There were also tribal tutors, but there was no structured educational system.
Nevertheless, the Spaniards observed that there was an overwhelmingly high literacy rate,
finding most of the natives were proficient in their indigenous system of writing

Spanish colonial eraWith the coming of the Spaniards, missionary teachers replaced the tribal tutors. The focus of
education during theSpanish Colonization of the Philippineswas mainly religious education.
The Catholic doctrine schools that were set up initially became parochial schools which taught
reading and writing along with catechism.
In 1863, an educational decree mandated the establishment of free primary schools in each town,
one for boys and one for girls, with the precise number of schools depending on the size of the
population. There were 3 grades: entrada, acenso, and termino. The curriculum required the
study of Christian doctrine, values and history as well as reading and writing in Spanish,
mathematics, agriculture, etiquette, singing, world geography, and Spanish history. Girls werealso taught sewing.
The decree also provided for a normal school run by the Jesuits to educate male teachers
inManila. Normal schools for women teachers were not established until 1875, inNueva
Caceres.
Despite the Decree of 1863, basic education in the Philippines remained inadequate for the rest
of the Spanish period. Often, there were not enough schools built. Teachers tended to use
corporal punishment. The friars exercised control over the schools and their teachers and
obstructed attempts to properly educate the masses, as they considered widespread secular
education to be a threat to their hold over the population. The schools were often poorlyequipped, lacking the desks, chairs, and writing materials that they were required to have under
the decree. Though classes were supposed to be held from 7-10 am and 2:30-5 pm throughout
the year, schools were often empty. Children skipped school to help with planting and harvesting
or even because their clothes were ragged.
For higher education, there were a few reputable private institutions such as theUniversity of
Sto. Tomas,Colegio de San Juan de Letran, andAteneo Municipal. Though initially an institute
of higher education, UST was required by an 1865 decree to open public secondary schools.
Malolos Republic
After the Spanish colonial government was overthrown, the schools established during the
Spanish era were closed down for a time byEmilio Aguinaldos government. They were
eventually reopened by the Secretary of Interior on 29 August 1898. TheMalolos
Constitutionmade elementary education compulsory and provided for free schooling.
TheUniversidad Literaria de Filipinas, which provided courses in law, medicine, surgery,

pharmacy, and notarianship, was established by Aguinaldo on 19 October 1898. He also set up
theMilitary Academy of Malolosand decreed that all diplomas awarded by UST after 1898 be
considered null and void. During this period, other secular institutions which emphasized local
geography and history were also established, such as theBurgos Institute in Malolos.
Except for the emphasis on Philippine history and geography, the curricula of schools were not
much different from those under Spanish domination. WhileTagalogwas established as the
national language by theConstitution of Biak-na-Bato, reading, writing and literary studies in
Spanish were still given emphasis.
American colonial period
To help win over the Filipinos to the new American colonial government,General
MacArthurprovided $100,000 for Philippine education. New schools were established with
English as the medium of instruction, with chaplains and non-commissioned officers serving as
teachers. Following the surrender of Aguinaldo, President McKinley directed theSecond
Philippine Commissionto establish a free secular public school system that would prepare the
Filipinos for citizenship. TheDepartment of Public Instructionspawned the Bureau of Education
underAct 477.
The establishment of the public school system in 1901 under Act No. 74 required a great number
of teachers. Thus the Secretary of Public Instruction, with the approval of the Philippine
Commission, brought to the Philippines 1,000 American teachers, known as theThomasites.
Teachers were also trained in theNormal Schoolfounded inManilain 1901 and its branches
subsequently established in major towns. Elementary school teachers were trained in English
language and literature, geography, mathematics, principles of education, teaching methods, and
educational psychology.The free elementary schools that were established consisted of 4 primary
grades and 3 intermediate grades. In the first decade, the intermediate grades focused on
vocational education, with a special course for those who intended to go to high school. Apart
from English language and literature and arithmetic, the elementary schools taught geography,
nature study, music, drawing, physiology, hygiene, and physical education. Age-appropriate
industrial skills were taught in all levels. In 1902, secular public high schools were established,
teaching courses on current events, U.S. history and government, algebra, geometry and
arithmetic, general sciences and history, and physics as well as English literature and
composition and physical education.

For the tertiary level, thePensionado Programwas established on 26 August 1903 to enable
about 300 chosen Philippine high school graduates to study in American colleges for free, under
the condition that they serve the Philippine government upon their graduation. In 1908,
theUniversity of the Philippineswas established. Vocational schools, however, were given moreemphasis.
Many Filipinos still preferred aCatholiceducation. Thus many privateCatholic
schoolsflourished, including those established during the Spanish period, likeAteneo,Letran,
andUST, and a number of
new schools likeSt. Scholastica's CollegeandSan Beda College. Such schools were preferred by
the elite. Some private non-sectarian schools were also founded. Reformists such asFelipe
Calderon,Hipolito Magsalin,Leon Ma. GuerreroandMariano V. Del Rosarioestablished
theLiceo de ManilaandEscuela de Derechoin an attempt to produce a more nationalistic
education, but they did not succeed. In general, education under American colonization led to
widespread Americanization of the Philippines, with the emphasis on English language and
literature, U.S. history and government, the use of American textbooks, and the emphasis on
American values.
Japanese occupation
Most schools were damaged duringWorld War IIand had to be closed down. In June 1942, the
schools were reopened by the Japanese. Their educational policies, as detailed inMilitary Order
No. 2, mandated the teaching of Tagalog, Philippine history, and character education to Filipino
students, with emphasis on love for work and dignity of labor.
Post-War years
After the War ended, schools that had been closed during the war years were re-opened amidst
the reconstruction of their facilities. The Americans recruited Filipino educators to help in the re-
establishment of their public school system. For the first time, indigenous languages as well as in
English were used as the medium of instruction. In 1947, the Department of Instruction was
renamed theDepartment of Education.
Martial Law period
During theMartial Law era, education as well as media was utilized for pro-government
propaganda. The Department of Education became the Department of Education and Culture in
1972, the Ministry of Education and Culture in 1978, and with theEducation Act of 1982, the
Ministry of Education, Culture, and Sports. A bilingual education scheme was established in
1974, requiring Filipino and English to be used in schools. Science and math subjects as well as
English language and literature classes were taught in English while the rest were taught in
Filipino.

From 1986 to the present
The bilingual policy in education was reiterated in the1987 Constitution of the Philippines. The
Ministry of Education, Culture, and Sports was renamed once more, this time as the Department
of Education, Culture, and Sports (DECS). Following the report of theCongressional
Commission on Education(EDCOM), Congress passed Republic Act 7722 and Republic Act
7796 in 1994, creating theCommission on Higher Education(CHED) and theTechnical
Education and Skills Development Authority(TESDA). The institute governing basic education
was thus renamed in 2001 as theDepartment of Education(DepEd).
The quality of public school education is generally considered to have declined since the post-
war years, mainly due to insufficient funds. The Department of Education aims to address the
major problems affecting public education by 2010.
Private schools are able to offer better facilities and education, but are also much more
expensive. There is a wide variety of private schools, including all-boys and all-girls schools,
religious schools, non-sectarian schools, Chinese schools, special schools, and international
schools. Due to economic difficulties, there has been a recent increase in the popularity ofhome
schooling and open universities in the Philippines.
Some perennial issues in education
Lack of facilities in public schoolswith insufficient budget and large numbers of students,public schools lack classrooms, books, and supplies for their students. The lack of classrooms
leads to prohibitively large class size, as many as 60 students in some schools, making for an
undesirably high student-teacher ratio. In some schools it also translates to the shortest
possible class periods, to allow for morning, afternoon, and even evening sessions so that as
many students as possible may be accommodated.
School year - Because of the frequent interruption of classes during the rainy season, theissue of changing the school year to September-June from the current June-March has been
raised again and again over the years.
Number of years - (not counting Pre-school, of course) The required number of years ofbasic education was reduced over the years to 6 in the elementary level. With 4 years of high
school, the total number of years of basic education in the Philippines is 10, one of the lowest
in the world and generally considered to be one of the factors in the inadequacy of basic
education in the Philippines.

Medium of instructionThere is constant debate over which language should be used ineducating Filipinos: English, Tagalog, or local dialects. The use of English for teaching math
and science as well as English language and literature subjects has endured for many years,
however.
SubjectsThe number of subjects increased for some years, making it difficult to giveenough class time to each subject, including the core areas of English, Filipino, math, and
science. There has frequently been contention on which subjects are essential, especially with
the controversial lumping together of home economics, technology, physical education,
health, art, and music with social studies in a subject called Makabayan. Opponents of the
scheme contend that less time will be given to the more important of these subjects,
Especially social studies. Some of the subject areas are also difficult to integrate with thecore subject of social studies.
Gender issuesThere used to be differences in the subjects taught to boys and girls,especially vocational training. There has been standardization in the requirements of subjects
for both genders in recent years, though some schools still adhere to a traditional curriculumwith different vocational skills taught to boys and girls.
Drop-out rateMany students drop out due to poverty before completing basic education,even at the elementary level. Though schooling is free, there are other expenses which poor
families have difficulty in meeting, such as school supplies, uniforms, and transportation.
Philippine girls at all levels have been found to be more persistent in their schooling, whereas
boys tend to drop out of school earlier. More than half of college students are female and
larger numbers of women than men finish advanced degrees.

CHAPTER 3
1.) The Implementation of the K+12 Systems in the Philippines
Abstract
K+12 educational systems are the additional years to secondary level. This research contains
some information about the curriculum of K+12. Interview, books and newspaper were the
researchers major instrument in gathering information and was augmented with other data
collected through readings. Studies cited by the researchers have also shown that the countrys
education program is equivalent to the 12-year education cycle followed abroad except that it isbeing completed in only 10 years. The respondents of this research are the high school students
who will experience the implement of K+12 educational systems. These researches analyze and
study
What will be the effects of the K+12 educational systems to the country, parents, and students?
The K+12 plan will cost an estimated annual investment of P30 billion over five years. This
amount will increase the Department of Education share of the national budget from about 12
percent to 14 percent. But the Department of Education had received as much as 18 percent of
the budget before. Countries considered poorer than the Philippines invest in K+12 for theirchildren. Filipino children deserve no less.
Introduction
Rep. Raymond Palatino, a member of Kabataan Party list said: The new system would translate
to added burden to parents who could barely send their children to school. For poverty-stricken
country such as ours, the proposal to add two years to basic education is a question of survival.
Brief Background / Rationale: why is there a need to conduct your study?
The sun has a harmful ray that brings different diseases through our skin. In our investigatoryproject we try to find a way to avoid these diseases. So we come up with the solution better than
buying commercial products like sunscreen. And our solution is making a sun block made of
extracts from the vegetable broccoli.

Research Problems: What problems do you wish to address/solve?
1. The heat of the sun which results to skin problems.
2. The different cancer problems of people, especially skin cancer
3. Allergy and asthma, are effects of heat and ultraviolet rays
Significance of the study: is the study Beneficial? Practical?
1. It prevents the skin of a person against the harmful rays of the sun which leads to skin cancer.
2. When you drink the broccoli extract you will have a less chance of having bladder, prostate
and stomach cancer or even heart disease and atherosclerosis.
3. It is cheaper than
real sunscreen which contains certain chemicals that also leads to cancer.
Research Design: How do you conduct the study? Present or Blueprint / Plan. We first bought broccoli, and then washed and chopped it afterwards. We grounded the broccoli into powder and put it in a handkerchief. We now squeezed the handkerchief with the powdered broccoli into the mug, and we obtainedthe liquid green form from it which is the extract. We then mixed it with lotion. We mixed and mixed it and wait for one minute until it is finish. We apply the broccoli sun block into our skin and we go outside and test it. We have fun going outside while waiting for the effects of the cream that we made. Doingthings while enjoying, is one of the scientific method of making a project.
2.) Turning Education From a Privilege into a Right
JULY 13, 2011 BYEDITORS
Global Geopolitics & Political Economy / IPS
By Inaki Borda
UNITED NATIONS, Jul 13, 2011 (IPS)Going to school and receiving an education are
opportunities most people usually take for granted. But for 67 million children around the world,
such possibilities do not exist.
Girls comprise over half of this overwhelming figure. They are forced to work in the fields and
care for family members, deprived of the chance to attend school.
The character-driven documentary "To Educate a Girl", directed by Frederick Rendina and OrenRudavsky, tries to make this reality more visible to the rest of the world by showing the lives and
struggles of six girls in Nepal and Uganda.
The main goal of this documentary is to "educate those in the Western world who have no idea,"
Rudavsky said. "Those who see the movie see how hard it is to get a step up in the developing
world and what the threats are."

"I have found that most people in dire circumstances around the world, when given the
opportunity to tell their stories, they really want to, and a documentary gives them a chance to
have their voices heard where they otherwise would not be," filmmaker Rendina told IPS.The movie, supported by the United Nations Childrens Fund (UNICEF) and the United Nations
Girls Education Initiative (UNGEI), aired for the first time on Link TVs broadcast network on
Jun. 24.
Progress and possibilities
Despite the magnitude of this global issue, the situation holds promise of improvement, as the
numbers of children unable to attend school are gradually decreasing.
"The world has come from 110 million children out of schooltwo- thirds girlsto just 72
million with just over half girls 10 years later," Rendina said.
He noted that the newest statistics indicate the number has dropped to 67 million, adding, "No
matter how you slice it, that is progress."He attributes this not only to the effectiveness of grassroots activities like the film, but to the way
enrolment and the gender gap have been addressed through the United Nations Millennium
Development Goals.
All of the characters in the film are victims of "pandemic" issues that prevent girls from
receiving even the most basic education: gender bias, conflicts, early marriage, poverty and a
lack of teachersone problem that is not exclusive to girls.
In addition, the movie shows many girls lacking motivation and self- confidence. Even if parents
do not foster the growth of these qualities, however, they can be developed through other
sources. For instance, "Chatting with my best friend," a popular radio programme in Nepal, tries
to offer solutions to girls who have no access to a formal education.
"In some situations, especially with teenagers, just knowing that others have the same problems,
and being able to show their parents a simple pamphlet or listen to a show really does make a
difference," Rendina says.
A close partnership and shared goals
The ambitious project started when the filmmakers were approached by UNGEI, a partnership of
organisations committed to narrowing the gender gap in primary and secondary education.
"What we do is ensure that the global community speaks with one voice when it comes to
advocating for girls education and genderissues in education," Cheryl Faye, head of UNGEI
Secretariat, told IPS.
-
8/2/2019 Mark Quilang
12/25
Faye herself and the filmmakers share goals and visions, including "to elucidate the issues
around girls education and hopefully letpeople know that, while progress is being made, theres
much to be done," Rendina said.
UNGEIs aim by 2015 is for all children to be able complete primary schooling, with boys and
girls having equal access to free, quality education.
"Its definitely time to start moving quickly. We are looking at not only just scaling up successful
programmes, but were looking at the most marginalised children. We discovered that many
interventions for providing social services sometimes reach those who are the easiest to reach.
But those who are the hardest to reach will help the global community meet those numbers more
quickly," Faye told IPS.
"These are frequently girls with multiple deprivations. They are from poor communities, fromethnic minorities, children living in rural areas, or even children with disabilities." Specifically
targeting those children will, according to Faye, lift the final numbers.
One of the most important methods that UNGEI uses it is social mobilisation, a package of
interventions aimed not only at policy makers, community leaders and parents, but at children as
well.
"They are programmes aimed at scholarships for girls, programmes that involve legislation, so
that girls are not able to get married so early. Also, policies that involve ensuring that if the girl
gets pregnant and drops out of school, once the baby is delivered, she is able to go back to
school," Faye explained.One challenge, however, is that at times the quality of the education itself is inadequate. "We are
actively engaged in helping to ensure that quality of education systems is strong," Faye said.
As a result, UNICEF advocates for a child friendly schooling that makes schools more
welcoming and actual places of learning for children.

IS EDUCATION KIS RIGHT
Students set new tone, leadership for the student movement
Nearly 200 college student organizers and leaders assembled at the University of California, Los
Angeles last week for the United States Student Associations (USSA) 63rd annual NationalStudent Congress. Members of the nations oldest, largest, and most inclusive student
organization met to elect the 20102011 USSA President and Vice President, Board of
Directors, and pass the national agenda for students.Lindsay McCluskey, the previous USSA
Vice President and University of Massachusetts, Amherst graduate, was elected President of the
organization. Im honored and excited to be in this role at a time when momentum is building in
the student movement, said McCluskey. Its a critical time for students to be engaged in the
midterm election, fighting back against severe budget cuts and tuition hikes, and defending their
right to a higher education. Victor Sanchez, a recent graduate of the University of California,
Santa Cruz and outgoing President of the University of California Student Association, was
elected Vice President. "The real work starts now, said Sanchez. I'm excited and ready to
help build the student movement from coast to coast and make sure education is a right and not a
privilege."Top action agenda items to be taken up this year by USSA are passage of the
Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors (DREAM) Act, federal jobs legislation to
mitigate historic youth unemployment, voter work for the 2010 mid-term elections, and student
advocacy in the federal budget and appropriations process.
The 20102011 Board of Directors met for the first time after the conference, setting the tone
for the upcoming academic year and beyond. Sitting on the USSA board of directors with
students across the United States is going to be a powerful experience said National People ofColor Student Coalition chair Tiffany Loftin, a student at the University of California, Santa
Cruz. I look forward to the nation's reaction to our movement, because we are driven by our
testimonies and empowered by each other.
The next national conference held by USSA will be the 42nd annual Grassroots Legislative
Conference and National Student Lobby Day March 19-22, 2011 in Washington, DC.

Students Respond to Passage of Financial Reform
The financial collapse of 2008 had rippling effects across America, including on college
students. Young people, who were already victim to decades of higher education divestment, saw
higher education budgets slashed by state legislatures and tuition and fees soar. With these
higher costs and dwindling financial aid, student debt has risen to nearly $25,000 for the average
borrower. The federal government took steps to mitigate these financial burdens by passing
historic student aid reform last spring, ushering in a new era of federal investment in college
students. Private lenders, however, still needed strengthened regulation.
The recently signed financial reform legislation does just that. The bill creates the Consumer
Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), the first federal agency completely devoted to guarding
consumers against dangerous lending practices. The Bureaus authority over private student
loans will help reign in the wild west of student lending. However, the CFBP is limited to
overseeing banks and credit unions making over $10 billion; Sallie Mae Bank, the nations
largest student lender, makes $5 billion and will escape the agencys supervision. Students
fought hard to end federal subsidies to private lenders because their lending practices lead to
massive student debt; Congress shouldnt allow that progress to retreat by diluting the CFPBs
authority.
USSA supports the independence of the CFPB as a neutral, objective watchdog, keeping solely
the interests of American consumers, including college students, in mind.Additionally, the final
version of the bill does not include the House of Representatives provision requiring students be
made aware of any federal loans for which they are eligible before taking out private loans. This
policy is critical because, according to the U.S. Education Department, nearly two-thirds of
undergraduates who borrowed private loans in the 2007-2008 academic year did so despite being
eligible for lower-cost federal loans, and one quarter of these students did not take out any
federal loans at all. More awareness of federal loan eligibility is critical to the effectiveness of
college affordability policy.

Students Call for Passage of Financial Reform Legislation in the Senate with Stronger Consumer
Financial Protection Bureau
The United States Student Association (USSA), representing over four million college anduniversity students nationwide, applauds Senator Chris Dodd, Representative Barney Frank, and
all those who having worked diligently on the historic Wall Street Reform and Consumer
Protection Act. Members of Congress have recognized the importance of including regulation
over private loans, the wild west of student lending, in their efforts to stabilize the nations
financial framework.
Unprecedented divestment from higher education has forced a third of students to borrow loans
to pay for college, leading to nearly $25,000 of debt for the average graduate borrower. Private
lenders have taken advantage of this situation by imposing rigid repayment plans and excessive
and arbitrary interest rate hikes on students. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureaus
(CFPB) authority over all private student loans is a giant step in the right direction. USSA
further commends the private student loan ombudsman, which will drastically improve the
student loan system through assistants to borrowers and constructive policy analysis.In addition
to these provisions, USSA calls for CFBP regulatory power over banks making under $10
billion. Without this authority, Sallie Mae Bank, the largest private loan lender in the nation,
will escape from under the watchful eye of the CFPB. During the recent student aid reform
debates, lending practices by Sallie Mae and banks like it were brought to light that demand
more rigorous federal regulation. It would be counterintuitive to end the Federal Family
Education Loan program, due in large part to the lending practices of Sallie Mae, only to thenremove Sallie Mae bank from CFPB oversight.

Additionally, USSA calls for a reinstatement of the House of Representatives provision
requiring students be made aware of any federal loans for which they are eligible before takingout private loans. Nearly two-thirds of undergraduates who borrowed private loans in the 2007-
08 academic year did so despite being eligible for lower-cost federal loans, and one quarter of
these students did not take out any federal loans at all. More awareness of federal loan eligibility
is essential for effective college affordability legislation.
Not since President Roosevelts New Deal has Congress undertook such an ambitious and
important reform of our nations financial system. Instrumental in that reform is the protection
of consumers against unscrupulous lenders, something that each student has a vested interest
in. During the Independence Day recess, students are taking action in-district on this legislation,
letting their senators know why financial reform is critical to college affordability. USSA urges
the Senate to swiftly pass the Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act with a
strengthened CFPB.
CHAPTER 4
CONCLUSION
There are a lot of practices in the Philippine schools that have worked through the years.The Philippines, being a third world country is one of those low economic countries providing
lowbudget for education. A classroom of 50 students may have only one textbook, may lack chairs,lack technology equipment needed for learning. But the great deprivation of a lot of things mayhave been one reason why Filipinos have very high regard for education. One other reason is the
competition in jobs requiring college graduates to get good jobs.Every country may have their own practices which may work in their countries and may
not work for others. But the beauty of learning from each countrys efforts to educate your mindsand form young hearts in different methods from different cultural backgrounds is the purpose ofthis session. It helps us to realize that education is fundamental and essential to every person andevery nation. It provides us a venue to know that what every country it is, the school brings outhe

need for teachers who stay and make a difference not only in the classroom, nor in his or her owncountry but makes a difference in the world.
Therefore I concluded that Philippine Education is complex narrative analysis becausethe Education passes through era by different colonial nation. Knowing the threats and
opportunities that lay ahead equips HEIs in thecountry to pursue strategic options. With the
enhancement of quality and furtherImprovement in processes and access to education, HEIs may
reap the tremendousopportunities offered by globalization and counter its accompanying
enormous threats.The issue of quality assurance, its sustainability, and development in the
context of aglobalized environment in higher education, need to be studied carefully.Government
policies pertaining to the provision of educational services and movementof professionals should
focus on developmental activities rather than purely regulatory,an activity PRC and CHED are
used to and are currently doing. More than protectingincumbent professionals and educational
institutions, policies should be meant toimprove incumbents competence. In line with qualityassurance, the response ofeducational institutions to threats and opportunities should be studied.
Details ofbenchmarking, accreditation, continuing education and curriculum revision,
studiesshould be expanded to continuously improve the quality of educational services.Through
various forms of quality assurance programs, the education sector will beable to reap the
opportunities of globalization and mitigate its negative consequences.This will determine the
readiness of HEIs in the Philippines as well as their graduates,the Filipino professionals, to
participate and compete in a global setting
The Asian and Pacific region is a highly diverse and rapidly changing region,exhibiting great
variation across and within ADBs DMCs in population, size,economic growth, and patterns of
culture. However, some commonalties canbe identified in the challenges faced as education
becomes recognized as acentral concern in attaining the goals of national development. This
bookletanalyzes the regional and subregional trends, policies, and strategies
ineducation.Depending on the criteria of interest, a number of subregional groupingsmay be
developed. In this study a typology of seven groups is identified andutilized to examine
intraregional comparisons and to facilitate understanding ofthe range of education conditions and
problems. The countries of South Asia,for example, contrast greatly with the more advanced East
Asian economieson most economic, social, and educational indicators. The education
policiesand priorities of the latter may differ sharply from those of the former.As part of theeconomic and social transformation taking place in Asia,education systems are expanding and
being reoriented to cope with growth insocial demand and to respond to economies driven by
evolving industrial andinformation technologies. The Asian and Pacific region as a whole has

mademajor advances in the quantitative and qualitative provision of education duringthe last few
decades. Most DMCs have achieved, or are well on the way toachieving, universal primary
education. For Southeast Asian countries basiceducation is increasingly being defined to include
nine years of schooling. Formany countries, the new thrusts are in expansion of secondary
education; thecoming decades will bring high rates of growth in tertiary education. SeveralEast
Asian economies currently have well-established mass systems ofsecondary and tertiary
education. The more economically advanced areamong the worlds leaders in student
achievement on core subject areas asmeasured by comparison of national test scores. In poorer
countries anddisadvantaged areas of the majority of countries, illiteracy persists andeducation
opportunities remain limited and typically gender biased againstgirls. Changes in the locus of
control over education are under way, beinginitiated, or subject to serious debate, in most Asian
countries. The objectives of such reform vary by country and over time, but include the
delegation ofcertain education responsibilities traditionally held in the central governmenttolower echelons. The extent of decentralization may have a profound effect on abroad range of
planning, financial, curriculum, teaching, and evaluationdecisions.Although ADB and other
international agencies may play significant roles,in meeting current social and education
challenges in Asia, national andsubnational governments remain the key actors. In recent years,
government72 Education and National Developmentefforts have been complemented to an
increasing degree by private,community, and nongovernment actors. National, and in some
countries local,governments are facing hard investment choices, often in the context ofpolitical
uncertainty and with few resources for which there is much competition. Nevertheless, there is
ample room for optimism. DMCs have demonstrated capacity for working within conditions of

CHAPTER 5
RECOMMENDATION
Time spent in early childhood education enhances future learning. It has been found to have a
significant relationship with achievement at age 8 and age 10 (associated with cognitive
competence score including literacy, mathematics and logical problem-solving measures) for
children in the Competent Children Study (Wylie, C. et al, 2001). Childrens early childhood
education experiences were still contributing to their mathematics and reading comprehension
scores two years later at age 12 (Wylie, C. et al, 2004). Aspects of early childhood education
centre quality appear to have made some additional contribution to age-14 mathematics, reading
comprehension, and attitudinal scores (Wylie, C. et al, 2006), and the age-16 study showed a
continuing association with facets of 11 years later (Wylie, C. et al, 2009).
When linked to a number of other variables including socio-economic mix, maternalqualification and service teachers being responsive to children, duration makes up a componentof the overall contribution to children's achievement. This is important because it confirms arange of international research that demonstrates the ongoing influence of early childhoodeducation on children's learning.

OK lang kung makinig si Tito Noy sa akin, o sa mga katulad ko problema nakikinigsiya sa mga buwaya. Eh, sila yung mga naglagay sa kanya dyan.
domo on February 4, 2012 at 11:28 pm
And again with the pnoy delusion. Enough already because youre making yourselfmore stupid and hes not your god.
DaidoKatsumi on February 4, 2012 at 9:16 am
You heard these guys? Whats the use of K-12 if they take out SCIENCE as a subject?
Proof is that your Tito Noy has NO BALLS.
o ahehe on February 4, 2012 at 9:42 am
Tama ka vicenzio, mailalampaso na natin yung ibang bansa Thru kendeng(2x) and birit.

o Lawrence on February 4, 2012 at 3:51 pmtalagang ndi tayo magkakaisa kung may pinapanigan kang isang group of people lng. i knowthat you cant please every one. but you can respect them. kaya dapat neutral laht ng ipapasang bansa. K+12 is such a dumb, futile and illogical step taken by the government. dapatsinulusyonan muna nila ung shortage ng classrooms, teachers, proper and reliable textbooksand etc. at mas pinagbibigyan nila ng pansin at pera ang national defense?! duh???? anu tonasa war era pa tayo? try kayang ndi maging bayas sa mga katoliko ang government natin, attignan natin kung anong sasabihin at gagawin ng mga kapatid nating muslim.

Our History books are biased, and those in power, encouraged these authors to portray them asheroesWhen we were a colony of Americathe American colonialists, featured historicalimbalance in our books.That they were benevolent colonialistsAdmiral Deweys Battle of
Manila Bay, was like Americans liberating the Filipinos , from the Spaniardsin truth: we weresold alrady by the Spaniards, in the Treaty of ParisWhen Marcos was in powerMarcos andhis Martial Law were featured as good thingWhen the Aquinos are in powerthey arefeatured as fighters of Democracywhich is far from the truthJapanese KALIBAPIcollaboration of Benigno Aquino, Sr. was erased in our History books. Benigno Aquino , Jr. ;M.V Karagatan incident was not toldCory Aquino was featured as a SaintKris Aquino as agood daughter; and Noynoy Aquino as a good Presidential hopeful. The victors write the Historybooksthe vanquished, are demonizedBe a student of History, with an open mindEducateyourselfOur educational system really sucks
o Vincenzo B. Arellano on February 4, 2012 at 1:11 pm
Alangan namang ilagay mo dyan na mas masama pa ang budhi ni Tito Noy kesa kay Marcos.Mas maganda kung nakalagay ay naibalik ang kalayaan ng bayan mula kay Marcos sapangunguna ni Tita Cory.
Lawrence on February 4, 2012 at 3:59 pm
alam mo ba talaga at lahat ng ngyari nung time ni marcos at time nila aquino??? ako ndi,but its much better if we dont linger any more to the pasts lies and hoaxes. sure ka naibinalik nila tayo? or mas lalo tayong pinahirap? well im in no position to say these kindsof things kasi ndi ko alam. pero if your tito noy is really doing things then were is it????the impeachment of chief justice? the hide and seek incident of CGMA? the Propernegotiation of the hostage taking? or his visit in the us and eating hotdogs? or his messedup lovelife? if he is really doing something atleast half of the hungry are well fed, half ofthe unemployed are employed, half of the people in the baluktot na daan are guidedback to the right one and etc. but nooooohhh.. take a look around.

I wonder what will happen if Ill bring you back in time when youll actually see with
your own naked eyes and ears about the evil plans of your precious president and hisoligarch mafia for our country? If you still gonna crazily deny it then you really need tobe sent to a mental hospital.

I also remember this whole theory taught when I was in grade school of how the Philippines wassettled by waves of migrations, first the Aetas, then a bunch of Indonesian tribes, then Malaysor something like that. Someone also told me that Rizal was put up as the national hero bysubsequent rulers after the end of the Spanish colonial period because of his pacifist effect on the
natives; to turn them into more docile subjects..
Mercury on February 4, 2012 at 11:10 am
K-12 would have been good if they reshuffled the whole curriculum with subjects that would bemore beneficial as stated in this article and that they didnt remove Science as a subject andearlier years.
An yeah, I noticed that some educational institutions were capitalists like the local media, whichis depressing.
Vincenzo B. Arellano on February 4, 2012 at 1:26 pm
Alam ni Tito Noy ang gagawin dyan. Wag m sya itulad kay Gloria na wlang ginawa sa edusector
Lawrence on February 4, 2012 at 3:28 pm Tito Noy ka ng Tito Noy. ChinoF on February 4, 2012 at 9:46 pm Makinig si Tito Noy sa mga tamang payo, maniniwala na ko sa kanya.
