    Villar bats for passage of distance education bill 66SHAR ES

    Christina Mendez (The Philippine Star) - June 13, 2014 - 12:00am

    MANILA, Philippines - Sen. Cynthia Villar has pushed for the passage of the open learning and distance education bill, which
    seeks to provide a flexible system of education and reduce the number of school dropouts.

    Villar co-sponsored Senate Bill 2274, or the Open Learning and Distance Education Act of 2014 before Congress adjourned on
    Wednesday.

    She said a flexible system of schooling would benefit poor and working students, and give them opportunities to finish their
    studies.

    Villar said the government is having difficulty providing quality and accessible education to all due to lack of
    budget and other factors.

    She lamented the decline in the quality of education and the increase in the number of school dropouts.

    That trend came about because a large number of Filipino families cannot afford to send their children to
    college the traditional way, Villar said.

    She said many students are forced to quit their studies in order to look for a job and help their families.

    Open learning and distance education will decrease the number of dropouts and out-of-school youths. It will
    also address unemployment, she said.

    Unlike traditional education where one goes to school regularly to meet with teachers and classmates, a student
    taking distance learning can attend classes while at home or in the workplace with the use of modules, email,
    chat and video conference.

    Like the traditional learning experience, distance education follows a curriculum, but studying can be done at
    one’s pace.

    To ensure efficiency and quality, mechanisms are placed to monitor and ensure the academic progress of the
    students.

    Villar vouched for the need to provide support for the efficient implementation of the system. Open learning
    and distance education could well serve as effective engines to develop our people and nation, she said.
    1.) Based from your readings, what are the assumptions of implementing distance education in the
    Philippines as the context of Senate Bill 2274? Why include it in the curriculum? Explain briefly.
