    It is quite ironic that countless Filipinos are financially deprived to finish even the basic education, while thousands of foreign students who fly into the Philippines claim that with the same education quality, the costs are significantly cheaper. For example, a four-year degree course in the Philippines costs around $1,000 to $2,500 per year; this is remarkably cheaper in comparison with the United States’ educational costs, where students are estimated to spend more than $30,000 annually.…

    An educated person is someone who is well read and who always knows the latest news. It is someone who speaks many foreign languages and knows much about politics and is interested in this stuff. An educated person could be anyone. Someone who express his feelings and ideas or connect with other people, someone who has specific talents for example: dance, music, arts and so on, someone who understand past, present and future and is interested in history, geography or political things or maybe someone who create many things and cooperate with others.

Education could change in the near future. In many years there could be robots instead of teachers and an high developed system. But I think the attitude won‘t change that much. In other countries the education is very different. Some countries have online courses where they study everything on their computer. It‘s called „digital natives“.
