Quality of Education
 a decline in the quality of Philippine education at the elementary and secondary levels.

Reality Check:
Results of NAT among elementary and high school students and NCAE were way below the
target mean score
the poor quality of the Philippine educational system is manifested in the comparison of
completion rates between highly urbanized cities of Metro Manila
Metro Manila primary school completion rate is approximately 100 percent
Other areas of the nation such as Eastern Visayas and Mindanao hold primary completion rate of
only 30 percent
Affordability of Education

  big disparity in educational achievements is evident across


various social groups.
 Socioeconimically disadvantage students have higher drop
out rates in elementary level
 Most of freshman students at the tertiary level income
from relatively well-off families
Government Budget For Education

 The Philippine institution has mandated the Government to allocate the highest
proportion of its budget to education

The Department of Education (DepEd) received the lion's share of the 2017 national
budget at P543.2 billion 

Reality Check
 Philippines still has one of the lowest budget allocations to education among the
ASEAN countries
Drop-out rate
(out of school youth)
 The Philippines overall has 1.4 million children who are out-of-school

 included in the top 5 countries with the highest number of out-of-school youth

  6.38% drop-out rate in primary school 

 7.82% drop-out rate in secondary school

 The issue of drop out rate was caused by POVERTY


Mismatch

 Philippine Education has a large proportion of “Mismatch” between training and actual
jobs
 This is the major problem at the tertiary level and it is also the cause of the existence of a
large group of educated unemployed or underemployed.
 According to Dean Salvador Belaro Jr., the Cornell-educated Congressman representing
1-Ang Edukasyon Party-list in the House of Representatives, the number of educated
unemployed reaches around 600,000 per year.
 This condition is also called “Educational Gap”
Brain Drain

 is a persistent problem evident in the educational system of the Philippines due to


the modern phenomenon of globalization
 with the number of Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) who worked abroad at any
time during the period April to September 2014 was estimated at 2.3 million.
 This ongoing mass immigration subsequently induces an unparalleled brain drain
alongside grave economic implications.
 poor educational system of the Philippines indirectly subsidizes the opulent
economies who host the OFWs.
Social Divide

  is the gap between the information rich and information poor within a society.

  This aforementioned divide in the social system has made education become part
of the institutional mechanism that creates a division between the poor and the
rich.
Lack of facilities and teacher shortage
in public schools
 these include classrooms, teachers, desks and chairs, textbooks, and audio-video materials
 state universities and colleges gradually raise tuition so as to have a means of purchasing facilities,
thus making tertiary education difficult to access or more often than not, inaccessible to the poor.
 Aquino Administration tripled the number of classrooms in the first half of 2010
 As of 2013 DepED shows that in opening classes shortage of classrooms was pegged at 19, 579. 60
million for shortage of textbooks. 2.5 million shortage regarding to chairs and 80, 937 shortages of
water and sanitation facilities. 
 The Department of Education also released data stating that 91% of the 61, 510 shortages in teachers
was filled up alongside appointments (5, 425 to be specific) are being processed.
Language issues

 differences in how languages around the world differ in display,


alphabets, grammar, and syntactical rules.
