Education

A pleasant morning to everyone, I am, AB Political Science. I am here in front of you to discuss about the value and importance of education. First of all, what is education? As far as I am concern, education is the delivery of knowledge, skills and information from teachers to students, inadequate to capture what is really important about being and becoming educated. The proper definition is basically the process of becoming an educated person, but that begs the question of what counts as an educated person. Being an educated person means you have access to optimal states of mind regardless of the situation you are in. You are able to perceive accurately, think clearly and act effectively to achieve self-selected goals and aspirations. Therefore, education is the process of mapping your experiences and finding a variety of reliable routes to optimal states of mind when you find yourself in non-optimal states.

But, what was the problem behind in regards of education in our country? The first thing that comes up in my mind was the mentality that we Filipinos posses and also the corruption as well in our country. First, let me give you my short perspective about the corruption in country. As a senior Political Science student here in Adamson University, I was able to know about how our government runs and also the process and purposes on each and every department in our country. In our country there are three main branches of the government such as the Executive Department, Legislative Department, and the Judiciary Department. In every department in our government there are their own agencies, organizations, departments, or bureaus that help to execute and implement the rules and regulations that our government possesses. This agencies or organizations are known as the Quasi-department or also known as the four department of our government. As far as I know each department of our

    The roots of education are bitter, but the fruit is sweet – Aristotle. Education is the wise, hopeful and respectful development of learning undertaken in the belief that everyone should have the chance to share in life. When you think of education, you think of places like schools or colleges that teach and tutor students in order to prepare them for the future. We notice that education is a concept almost everyone would agree is a universal good, also one that is plagued by seemingly endless controversy because education is said to be a powerful opportunity that you can either build from, or destroy all at once, it’s your choice. Education is built upon years of hard work, surpassing the all difficulties along the way. When in doubt you…

    Education is important because it prevents someone from being manipulated and it prevents history from repeating itself. Additionally, it can help prevent disasters from happening such as the corruption on animal farm and the manipulation, persuasion, and propaganda that was spread by Squealer. The animals couldn't even understand the situation or what squealer was saying and they didn't know any better. The pigs continuously manipulated them and made the animals believe that they were helping the farm and the animals. In conclusion, it's important to realize that education is one of the most important things needed because it helps in life, decision making, realizing right from wrong, preventing manipulation, disasters, and repetition of history. It’s also important to realize that language has great power and can be used to persuade masses of people. Language and rhetoric can be used as a weapon such as propaganda to manipulate uneducated people and to allow the oppressors to get what they want. Words can not only motivate people but can lead to the corruption of a system or lives…

    Most important problem with our educational system is lack of a single, uniform and proper educational system. We do not have a workable education system. There are mainly two types of education system in our country, one for common people and one for elite class.the education system for common people is divided into primary level, middle, secondary ,higher secondary and university level.then there is second education system specially designed for an elite class. That is A-level and O-level education system and then there are many resources available for elite class to go abroad for higher education. There is a vast difference between the quality of these two different forms of educational system. The elite class education system is better then the other one. Obviously elite is the minor proportion of population, thus overall system is poor for education.…

    We know that Philippines country is rich in agriculture and economics. But don't you know that Philippines are one of the top that is great in terms of education. And I can prove that in simply observing the status of my country and surveys in the rank of schools. Literacy rate in the Philippines has improved a lot over the last few years- from 72 percent in 1960 to 94 percent in 1990. This is attributed to the increase in both the number of schools built and the level of enrollment in these schools. The number of schools grew rapidly in all three levels - elementary, secondary, and tertiary. From the mid-1960s up to the early 1990, there was an increase of 58 percent in the elementary schools and 362 percent in the tertiary schools. For the same period, enrollment in all three levels also rose by 120 percent. More than 90 percent of the elementary schools and 60 percent of the secondary schools are publicly owned. However, only 28 percent of the tertiary schools are publicly owned. A big percentage of tertiary-level students enroll in and finish commerce and business management courses. Table 1 shows the distribution of courses taken, based on School Year 1990-1991. Note that the difference between the number of enrollees in the commerce and business courses and in the engineering and technology courses may be small - 29.2 percent for commerce and business and 20.3 percent for engineering and technology. However, the gap widens in terms of the number of graduates for the said courses. Aside from the numbers presented above, which are impressive, there is also a need to look closely and resolve the following important issues: 1) quality of education 2) affordability of education 3) government budget for education; and 4) education mismatch.…

    Another characteristic of education today is being a colonialist. The moment we first learn the alphabets, we are taught that ‘A’ is for Apple and not Atis. Apples are not made here in the Philippines. The education in the Philippines is American standard. It is advantageous to people living in the city because they would be able to understand the English language easily. But come to think of it, they are more than 300 local languages in the Philippines,…

    1st reason why the country that has 1,107 islands that can be found in South East Asia has been stuck in the level of the underdeveloped stage is because the people in it lack discipline. In a different setting, if a group that has a good leader but has a undisciplined members, surely the group will encounter problems along the way and might have difficulty finishing or getting the job done. To give concrete examples and facts to support the claim that lack of discipline among Filipinos is one reason why the country never moved forward, just go to streets of Metro Manila where the “disciplined” drivers of the Philippines play their game called “How Close Can I Get to Your Bumper without…

    Filipinos have deep regard to education. Education occupies a central place in Philippine political, economic social and cultural life. It has always been strongly viewed as a pillar of national development and a primary avenue for social and economic mobility. A clear evidence of the value placed on education is the proportion of the national government budget going to the sector. The Department of Education (DepEd), the country’s biggest bureaucracy, is given the highest budget allocation among government agencies each year as required by the 1987 Philippine Constitution. The 1987 Constitution likewise guarantees the right to education of every Filipino. It provided that, “The State shall protect and promote the right of all citizens to quality education at all levels and shall take appropriate steps to make education accessible to all.” (Article XIV of the 1987 Constitution of the Republic of the Philippines. Section 1)…
