REACTION PAPER
ON THE
PHILIPPINE AGENDA

Submitted by: Herjane D. Pasuquin BSCE-II

Submitted to: Engr. Pericles O. Mabida

When our teacher told us that we will be watching a video about political government in the Philippines, I thought that it would be about politics only. But as the videos are playing, I realize that it was more than politics. It is an eye-opener not only for the government officials but also to all Filipinos. They made a documentation to open the eyes of the candidates for the election. It was made to let the government know the current condition of the Philippines with regards to the concern of the Filipinos.

PHILIPPINE AGENDA: EDUCATION (EDUKASYON) The video entitled “Edukasyon” was one of the documentaries presented by Jessica Soho. The film shows the problem on education in our country. Many students and teachers are having a hard time in studying and teaching because of the insufficient facilities in different public schools. This includes the lack of chairs, tables, classrooms, chalkboards, books, and many others. Most teachers also have not undergone a proper training. Well, what they have documented is very true because I too came from a public school. And our school was also facing that kind of problem before. Though in my time, our school has improved a little bit. All of us had been given the privilege to have a book in different subjects one by one. We also have chairs to sit and tables to write on. Our chalkboard also is big enough, though some of it has a hole already. But our neighboring school was facing almost the same fate as the schools in Masbate, as what the film documented. They have broken chalkboards, not enough classrooms, chairs, tables and books. Their teacher would go to our school to borrow a couple of books for them to use. There were also some privilege schools in our place who was included in the feeding program of the government. Our elementary school was

    The freedom for the Philippines came from the blood shed on the battlefield between the Spanish and American armies. It all started in the year of 1898. The United States was fed up with the horrible treatment the Philippines and Cuba was getting from the Spanish. Later on, in 1899, the U.S. defeated the Spanish and won over the two territories. It was decided to let Cuba become its own country and annex the Philippines. The U.S. should not have annexed the Philippines because it is against the constitution, the U.S. was being hypocritical and Abe Lincoln didn’t want it.…

    The income source for U.S. public schools came from taxpayers paying their property taxes and since a lot of the parents couldn’t afford this expense, public education was almost not available. Alabama also struggled to pay their teachers on top of the people unable to pay their property taxes. “Only 16 of 116 Alabama school systems paid teachers in full in 1932. In Winston County, teachers went an entire year without pay”. 5 The teachers had to choose to either loss their jobs completely or take a cut in their pay. Eventually, an agreement was made which led to “teachers receiving part of their pay in cash and the remainder in vouchers”.5 These vouchers were able to be used at local stores in their…

    The classroom has a lot of natural light as well as iridescent lighting. The classroom is set up where children are sitting in groups of two tables holding up to 8 children. Children are encouraged to talk, and interact with each. Whole group instruction such as story time, or movement activity is done at the rug. The children’s work are displayed on the walls along with teacher-made work to create a print rich environment that is not over-stimulating to the children’s senses. The classroom has multiple centers such as library, writing, art, and dramatic-play which gives the children opportunities to do hands-on activities, which was a great motivation for them. The materials in each center are readily accessible to children, and 90% of them are duplicated, which makes it easier for them to complete their work, or play if they want to use the same…

    Each school decided its own curriculum. Relationships between popular teachers and students were much closer, and could even be considered too close or improper in today's society. School students were much more affectionate with each other. Although the upper class generally had the best education, and the places in most schools, there were also "ragged schools". These schools lured poor children into the schools by offering free meals, clothing and lodging. Funding for these schools came from charities and volunteer and/or paid teachers as…

    After observing the 4th and 5th grade Special Day Class, I asked the principal Mr. Valencia if there was a possibility to observe a 4th or 5th grade General Education class. He set up my observation in Mr. Garcia’s class. It was a pleasure to be there since he was recognized as the Teacher of the Year, a few years ago. The observation was conducted during the whole school day on October 20, 2017 from 8:00 am to 2:00 pm. This is a big class with 14 boys and 15 girls, a total of 29 students. The classroom has a neat environment with a couple of boards displaying the class assignments. One of the boards had banners of different universities and a short composition about it. The other board exhibited web maps of Charlotte’s Web the book they had been…

    This means that all the students at the school were of lower socioeconomic class. The average school day is 10 hours long, with Saturday school an option for children too, and mandatory when they are not on honor roll. This makes in easier for parents to collect their child when they are done with work, as opposed to having to take time off or making their child walk home alone. I didn’t get a chance to meet too many teachers but the ones I did seemed very competent with the 1 teacher to 10 students ratio the school maintains. This has lead to high academically performing school.…

    While, in the schools in lower income districts cannot afford to have these materials in their schools, therefore, those students do not get the same opportunity. Where a person lives affects what school they attend, which in the end affects their future. All children have different opportunities and it all depends on what their families can afford. Education, therefore, is structured inequality. Inequality exists in almost all social structures. There is always someone who gets ahead, or who is “in charge.” “As people interact, some will almost always emerge with more of the valued things than the others” (Charon, Vigilant, 2009, p.54). There will never be equality in the social structure. As much as we would like to believe there is equal opportunity, and there is no inequality… it is simply not reality. The education system is just one social structure that has inequality that people are unaware of. Every social structure, as small as a dyad and as large as a society, has inequality. There will always be that person, or group of people, that will want to get ahead or obtain their high…

    If we analyze, education requires a big amount of money from its first brick till the completion. In our country for the last 60 years our government is spending hardly one percent of its yearly income to the education. Where as developed countries are giving maximum attention to the education and giving eight to ten percent of its yearly budget to the education. In foreign countries instructional staffs are highly payed but in our country the lowest salaried are paid to the teachers. Most of the institutions are with insufficient accommodations .most of the classes in every institution is very big in numbers and these become difficult for a teacher to handle. Play grounds are not there. Books required for the students to consult are not available in the existing libraries. Financial hard pressed teacher cannot give full attention to the students .Students living far away from the institutions are not provided with the transport Tuition faces are in most of the institutions unaffordable for the parents .course books are very costly and most of the books are not available in the market . most of the laboratories not exist in the institutions and if these are then not equipped with the apparatus…

    One hundred and thirty-two federally-supported schools were located in every province and territory, except Newfoundland, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island. Most schools were operated as "joint ventures" with Anglican, Catholic, Presbyterian or United Churches. The Government of Canada built an educational system in which very young children were often forcibly removed from their homes, often taken far from their communities. Many were inadequately fed, clothed and housed. All were deprived of the care and nurturing of their parents, grandparents and communities. First Nations, Inuit and Métis…
