Hope springs from the bottom of once heart, once we give it fully we give light especially for the hopeless one. Hope is good if and only if it is moderated by the truth.
We hear from the recent news that our education in the Philippine setting refused to use the term crisis on their part. Those days are gone which it seems that the last two years our president easily recognized the needs and wants of DepEd family. Presumably, education in the Philippine settings is indeed in chronic state, it is in this administration, Pres. Aquino, heading towards the right path of every individual. The new administration is heading toward the right path especially that government acknowledge the 10 point agenda for the Basic Education.
Of course, the new DepEd leadership proposed strategies and new intervention materials for making new curriculum a purposeful one especially newcomer in elementary grade 1 and 2 and in high school grade 7 and 8 respectively.
Unfortunately, from the figure coming from the DepEd itself, it seems that Aquino won’t have enough classroom and teachers for this school year’s universal rollout of the mandatory pres-school ages four and five, as so again, there is an over-reliance on stop gap measures. In this case, ill-equipped day care centers and untrained volunteers may affect the quality of our programs.
In response to some queries made by several pundit’s on what had been done with the president’s agenda, the highest office of the land strengthen 280 vocational-technical schools which he tied up in some guild in the Philippines – that the textbooks evaluation system must improved also the cost of textbook.
And then of course, the K-12 program, of the basic education and the mandatory pre-school components in the elementary level.
But is it really a hope or just a dream, a hope to improve the student performance and look for potential students in the near future or just a dream.
I can only hope, for everyone’s sake. Crisis must be solved for a better education.
