CHAPTER 1
THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND
“The State shall establish, maintain, and support a complete, adequate, and integrated system of education relevant to the needs of the people and the society.”
- 1987 Philippine Constitution

INTRODUCTION

Education is the process of learning and knowing, which is unending. It is so significant in the lives of every people living in this world and it would not be an exaggeration to say that the existence of human being is fruitless without this. Education helps us to gain knowledge, think scholarly and apply knowledge into logical action for us to cope up with the problems, issues and challenges that our country is encountering in this present time, hence it is a holistic process and it continues through our life. The Philippines is facing various problems including high unemployment and low economic rate and at the same time the Educational System in the Philippines. Thus, the government is trying their best to improve the quality of education because they believe it is one of the solutions to solve this problem that is why Department of Education tries new strategies to improve the quality of education delivered to the students.
The Department of Education had done so many surveys and reports so that they will be able to deal with the needs of the people and society. In 1925, the Monroe Survey was passed to Department of Education stated that the secondary education cannot prepare students for life that is why they suggested students to have training in agriculture, commerce and industry. In 1930, the Prosser Survey was passed to recommend improving vocational education such as 7thgrade shop work, provincial schools, and practical arts training in the regular high schools, home economics, placement work, gardening, and agricultural education.

    ASEAN integration presents both opportunities and challenges in the Philippines. Many Filipino students have already expressed their fear of not being able to find jobs after graduation. The problems lie largely in the education system. Despite notable progress in the past decades, the quality of education in the Philippines still lags behind its ASEAN neighbors. A number of structural problems continue to plague the education system. The lack of teachers and school buildings limits access to education especially in the rural areas. When schools exist, the necessary infrastructure to facilitate learning is either non-existent or in poor condition. Teachers are not well trained, poorly paid and lack motivation to teach. Students from wealthy families do not value education as grades can be bought. In higher education, the institution which is supposed to help prepare students for work, are also faced with persistent challenges. There is a shortage of skilled, well-qualified lecturers who can share practical experience with the students. The teaching is still largely based on the traditional teach-centered approach which is ineffective because it does not promote independent learning, creativity and critical thinking skill. There is also a lack of diversity in the specialization being taught.…

The research is bound to finding out the differences and similarities of Philippine K-12 from other countries.

However, it is undeniable that there seems to be problems arising as we implement the program such as lack of government budget, classrooms and school supplies as well as the teachers.

    Our Philipppine Constitution strongly mandates the right of all citizens to quality education at all levels. Article XIV, Section 1, explicitly provides: “The State shall protect and promote the right of all citizens to quality education at all levels.” Due to this the biggest budget is given to the Department of Education. Despite these constitutional guarantees, current performance indicators showed a dismal picture of the quality of education in the country.

    Education, especially in the primary school, cannot be far removed from the immediate environment of the learner. Relevant local content should be a part of the teaching-learning process, ideally transacted through activities drawn from local resources. The components of the environment which include plants and animals, soil, water, air, humans, political and economic forces, industries, farms and cities just to mention a few. All these components of the environment have a maximum contribution to the teaching and learning of Social Studies. School stakeholders often forget how much can be learnt by children by interacting with neighbours, friends and family members, by critically observing and exploring the social reality around them while simultaneously enabling them to experience human values like freedom, mutual respect and respect for diversity. Text books should be used to open up avenues for further enquiry based on observation and exploration. It is therefore the essence of this write up to analyse the use of environment in teaching Social Studies with reference to specific topics. These topics include food, Living Together, Rules and Laws, Transport and Communication and Shelter. Key terms such as Social Studies and environment will be defined.…

    Among the issues are: There is a big disparity in educational achievements across social groups. Students from wealthy families have excellent educational background gained from exclusive private schools at the start of their education until they finish college. Unlike the students from the less fortunate families, wherein most of them could not even finish elementary nor secondary level because of poverty. They could barely afford to buy school shoes and pencils, not even the tiny amount of tuition fees from the public schools. Affordability There are some measures that the Philippine government has looked into for the reformation of quality education. Technology use is starting to gain momentum in the overall education of this country. This helped improve the quality of education in the Philippines and to be globally competitive in this millennium. But hopefully, with much further improvement from the country's economy and involvement, education in the…
