MORTALITY IN PHILIPPINES

Reported deaths in 2016 reached 582,183. The figure shows an increase of

21,578 or 3.8 percent higher than the previous year's 560,605 deaths, which is
equivalent to a crude death rate (CDR) of 5.6, or about six (6) persons per
thousand population. In 2016, an average of 1,591 persons died.
CALABARZON with 75,743 or 14.3 percent of the total deaths, followed by NCR
with 71,050 deaths or 13.4 percent and Central Luzon with 60,409 deaths or 11.4
percent. Deaths from these three regions comprised to almost 40 percent
(39.1%) of the total deaths.
On the other hand, Autonomous Region of Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) reported
the least number of deaths with 1,484 or 0.3 percent only. While, Cordillera
Administrative Region (CAR) and CARAGA followed with a share of 1.4 percent
and 2.4 percent respectively. These three regions were consistently low in terms
of the number of deaths registered, which maybe a result of either effective
health intervention or under registration.

Out of 514,745 deaths registered in 2013, more than 81 percent (433,375) were
attributed to the top ten leading causes of death for the year. Deaths from all
other causes comprised less than 20 percent of total deaths or 97,905 cases.
More than one in every five deaths was caused by Diseases of the Heart making
it the number one leading cause of death. Diseases of the Heart remained to be
the first with 118,740 deaths. It recorded a 22.3 percent share from total deaths.
Diseases of the Heart had been consistently the number one cause of death for
several years now. The 2013 number of deaths from this condition is 6,159
deaths (5.4%) higher than what was reported in 2012 which had 112,581 deaths.
This year’s number of deaths from Diseases of the heart comprised 22.3 percent
of total deaths. More males than females die from this cause. Out of 118,740
cases reported, 66,612 or 56 percent were males and 52,128 or 44 percent were
females. Thus, the death sex ratio for Diseases of the Heart was 1.28 or 129
males in every 100 females.
The next three diseases in the list which remained in their respective rankings for
the past four years already were, Diseases of the Vascular System (68,325;
12.9%), Malignant Neoplasm (53,601; 10.1%) and Pneumonia (53,101; 10.0%
Eight out of the ten leading causes of deaths were male dominated. Female
deaths were only higher than male deaths in Malignant Neoplasms and Diabetes
Mellitus cases. Furthermore, there was a significant difference in number of
fatalities from Accidents between male and female. From the total 40,071 deaths
from Accidents, 77.9 percent or 31,218 cases were male and only 22.1 percent
or 8,853 were female. This means that men were almost four times more likely to
die from Accidents than women. Nonetheless, the same killer diseases were
identified as the ten leading causes of death for separate groups of male and
female, which differed only in ranks when tabulated by sex.
In 2013, although the infant mortality rate slightly increased, the number of
registered infant deaths slightly decreased by more than one percent, from last
year’s 22,254 cases to 21,992 cases. It comprised of 4.1 percent of the total
deaths (531,280) reported during the year. This represented a daily average of
60 infant deaths and was equivalent to an Infant Mortality Rate (IMR) of 12.5
deaths per thousand live births. The top three leading causes of infant mortality
were Pneumonia (3,146; 14.3%); Bacterial sepsis of newborn (2,731; 12.4%);
and Respiratory distress of newborn (2,347; 10.7%). The listed top ten leading
causes of infant mortality in 2013 were the same with what was recorded in 2012
which only differ in ranks.

The total numbers of registered fetal deaths were 7,474 which was equivalent to a fetal death ratio (FDR) of 4.2 per
one thousand livebirth. There was a decrease in number of about 4.9 percent from previous year’s fetal deaths. This
was translated to an average of more than 20 fetal deaths per day for the year 2013. Almost all (99.1%) of fetal
deaths were attended by qualified medical professionals such as physician, nurse and midwife. The rest or 0.9
percent were attended by hilot or unlicensed midwife.

EDUCATION IN PHILIPPINES

Education in the Philippines is provided by public and private schools, colleges,

universities, and technical and vocational institutions in the country. Funding for
public education comes from the national government. For the academic year
2017–2018, about 83% of K–12 students attended public schools and about 17%
either attended private schools or were home-schooled.

With the "trifocalization" of the educational system in the country, three

government agencies handle each level of education. At the basic education
level, the Department of Education (DepEd) sets overall educational standards
and mandates standardized tests for the K–12 basic education system, although
private schools are generally free to determine their own curriculum in
accordance with existing laws and Department regulations. On the other hand, at
the higher education level, the Commission on Higher Education (CHED)
supervises and regulates colleges and universities. Meanwhile, the Technical
Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) regulates and accredits
technical and vocational education programs and institutions in the country
By law, education is compulsory for thirteen years (kindergarten and grades 1–
12) and is grouped into three levels: elementary school (kindergarten–grade 6),
junior high school (grades 7–10), and senior high school (grades 11–12 Children
could enter kindergarten at age 5.
Institutions of higher education may be classified as either public or private
college or university, and public institutions of higher education may further be
subdivided into two types: state universities and colleges and local colleges and
universities.
Education in the Philippines is offered through formal and non-formal systems.
Formal education typically spans 14 years and is structured in a 6+4+4 system: 6
years of primary school education, 4 years of secondary school education, and 4
years of higher education, leading to a bachelor's degree.
The University of the Philippines, arguably the most prestigious university in the
Philippines, is currently ranked at position 601-800 out of 1,102 institutions in the
THE world ranking. Four Philippine universities are included in the current QS
World University Rankings
MANILA, Philippines — Over 27.7 million students are projected to enroll in
public and private basic education institutions across the country this year, the
highest in history, according to the Department of Education (DepEd).
Data released by the DepEd this week showed that the projected student
enrolment in public schools is at 23.5 million, higher than last year’s 22.9 million.
In private schools, enrollment is expected to slightly increase to 4.1 million from
last year’s four million.
Another 152,000 are expected to enroll in state and local colleges and
universities that offer basic education programs.

Based on the project enrollment data, almost 13.9 million pupils will enroll in
elementary programs, while another 8.2 million students will be in junior high
school.

Overall, an increase of around 700,000 is seen in the enrolment in basic

education programs this school year, with officials attributing it to the rising
population, mandatory implementation of the kindergarten program and the
extensive efforts of the DepEd to reach out-of-school youth
EDUCATION IN SOUTH KOREA

Education in South Korea is provided by both public schools and private schools.
Both types of schools receive funding from the government, although the amount
that the private schools receive is less than the amount of the state schools In
recent years, Incheon Global Campus] (with start-up support has kick-started,
and Yonsei University opened an international college to embrace the full English
teaching environment scheme.
South Korea is one of the top-performing OECD countries in reading literacy,
mathematics and sciences with the average student scoring 519, compared with
the OECD average of 493, placing it ninth in the world The country has one of
the worlds highest-educated labour forces among OECD countries The country is
well known for its obsession with education, which has come to be called
"education fever The resource-poor nation is consistently ranked amongst the top
for global education.
Higher education is an overwhelmingly serious issue in South Korea society,
where it is viewed as one of the fundamental cornerstones of South Korean life.
Education is regarded with a high priority for South Korean families, as success
in education is necessary for improving one's socioeconomic position in South
Korean society Academic success is often a source of pride for families and
within South Korean society at large. South Koreans view education as the main
propeller of social mobility for themselves and their family as a gateway to the
South Korean middle class.
Graduating from a top university is the ultimate marker of prestige, high
socioeconomic status, promising marriage prospects, and a respectable career
path An average South Korean child's life revolves around education as pressure
to succeed academically is deeply ingrained in South Korean children from an
early age. Those who lack a formal university education often face social
prejudice
In 2015, the country spent 5.8% of its GDP on all levels of education – roughly
0.8 percentage points above the OECD average A strong investment in
education, a militant drive for success, as well as the passion for excellence has
helped the resource poor country rapidly grow its economy over the past 60
years from a war-torn wasteland South Korea's zeal for education and its
students’ desires to get into a prestigious university is one of the highest in the
world, as the entrance into a top tier higher educational institution leads to a
prestigious, secure and well-paid professional white collar job with the
government, banks, or a major South Korean conglomerate such as Samsung,
Hyundai and LG Electronics With incredible pressure on high school students to
secure places at the nation's best universities, its institutional reputation and
alumni networks are strong predictors of future career prospects. The top three
universities in South Korea, often referred to as "SKY", are Seoul National
University, Korea University and Yonsei University Intense competition and
pressure to earn the highest grades is deeply ingrained in the psyche of South
Korean students at a young age Yet with only so many places at universities and
even fewer places at top-tier companies, many young people remain
disappointed and are often unwilling to lower their sights with the result of many
feeling as underachievers. There is a major cultural taboo in South Korean
society attached to those who have not achieved formal university education,
where those who don't hold university degrees face social prejudice and are
often looked down by others as second-class citizens, resulting fewer
opportunities for employment, improvement of one's socioeconomic position and
prospects for marriage
International reception on the South Korean education system has been divided.
It has been praised for various reasons, including its comparatively high test
results and its major role in ushering South Korea's economic development
creating one of the world's most educated workforces South Korea's highly
enviable academic performance has gotten British education ministers actively
remodeling their own curriculum's and exams to try to emulate Korea's militant
drive and passion for excellence and high educational achievement Former U.S.
President Barack Obama has also praised the country's rigorous school system,
where over 80 percent of South Korean high school graduates go on to university
The nation's high university entrance rate has created a highly skilled workforce
making South Korea among the most highly educated countries in the world with
the one of the highest percentage of its citizens holding a tertiary education
degree Large majorities of South Korean students go on to enroll in some form of
tertiary education and leave higher education with a tertiary qualification. In 2017,
the country ranked fifth for the percentage of 25 to 64 year olds that have
attained tertiary education with 47.7 percent 69.8 percent of South Koreans aged
25 to 34 years old have completed some form of tertiary education with 34.2
percent of South Koreans aged 25 to 64 having attained a bachelor's degree
which is one of the highest among OECD countries

 Republic of Korea population 2019
During 2019 Republic of Korea population is projected to increase by 247,627 people and
reach 51,410,184 in the beginning of 2020. The natural increase is expected to be positive, as
the number of births will exceed the number of deaths by 185,720. If external migration will
remain on the previous year level, the population will be increased by 61,907 due to the
migration reasons. It means that the number of people who move into Republic of Korea (to
which they are not native) in order to settle there as permanent residents (immigrants) will
prevail over the number of people who leave the country to settle permanently in another
country (emigrants).

Population change rates in 2019

According to our estimations, daily change rates of Republic of Korea population in 2019
will be the following:

 1,284 live births average per day (53.50 in an hour)

 775 deaths average per day (32.30 in an hour)
 170 immigrants average per day (7.07 in an hour)

The population of Republic of Korea will be increasing by 678 persons daily in 2019.

Demographics of Republic of Korea 2018

As of 1 January 2019, the population of Republic of Korea was estimated to be 51,162,557
people. This is an increase of 0.48 % (246,434 people) compared to population of 50,916,123
the year before. In 2018 the natural increase was positive, as the number of births exceeded
the number of deaths by 184,826. Due to external migration, the population increased by
61,609. The sex ratio of the total population was 0.990 (990 males per 1 000 females) which
is lower than global sex ratio. The global sex ratio in the world was approximately 1 016
males to 1 000 females as of 2018.

Below are the key figures for Republic of Korea population in 2018:

 466,392 live births

 281,566 deaths

Education in Vietnam

is a state-run system of public and private education run by the Ministry of Education
and Training. It is divided into five levels: preschool, primary school, secondary school,
high school, and higher education. Formal education consists of twelve years of basic
education. Basic education consists of five years of primary education, four years of
intermediate education, and three years of secondary education. The majority of basic
education students are enrolled on a half-day basis. The main education goal in
Vietnam is "improving people's general knowledge, training quality human resources,
and nurturing and fostering talent

Vietnam is known for its rigorous curriculum that is deemed competitive for students.
Secondary education is one of the most significant social issues in the country:
designated schools known as "High schools for the gifted" (Trường trung học phổ thông
chuyên) are regarded as prestigious and often demand high entrance examination
results. Higher education is also a fundamental cornerstone in Vietnamese society.
Entrance to university is determined through the National High School Graduation
Examination, whose results will be considered for evaluation. The higher the score is,
the more prestigious the institution will be. Failure to attend university often leads to
social stigma, as those who could not pass the Graduation Examination would be
looked down upon by members of society.

With one of the highest GDP growth rates in Asia, Vietnam is attempting to improve its
education system; in 2012, estimated national budget for education was 6.3%. [1] In the
last decade, Vietnamese public reception of the country's education system has been
mixed. Citizens have been critical of the rigorous curriculum, which has led to serious
social issues including depression, anxiety, and even increasing suicide rates.[6] There
have been comments from the public that schools should opt for a more flexible
studying program, with less emphasis on paper tests and more focus on life skills
development In response to public opinion, the Ministry of Education and Training has
come up with resolutions to reform the education system, which were met with both
positive and negative feedback, leaving education reform still a controversial topic to
date.

1980s, Vietnam’s education system was modeled after the system of the Soviet Union.
Economic liberalization policies enacted after the 1986 Đổi mới reforms have since led
to far-reaching changes in various sectors, including the education system, but the
country remains under the firm control of the Communist Party of Vietnam (CPV). Many
aspects of the education system, thus, are highly centralized and directed by the
Ministry of Education and Training (MOET) in Hanoi.

On the eastern tip of the Indochina peninsula in southeast Asia, Vietnam is one of the
larger and more densely populated countries in the region. Confirmed population figures
are hard to obtain, but an estimate puts the Vietnam population in 2019 at 96.46 million,
up from the 2012 estimate of 91.5 million and this figure would make the country the
15th most populous on the planet.
In comparison, Vietnam has a small surface area, and at 331,210 square kilometers
(128,565 square miles), this is only the world’s 65th largest in terms of landmass alone.
Those two sets of figures would suggest a densely populated landscape and that is the
case to an extent. For every square kilometer of land, there is an average of 291.33
people. That number converts to 112.5 individuals per square mile and overall, this
becomes the 46th most densely
The total population in Vietnam was estimated at 94.7 million people in 2018, according
to the latest census figures. Looking back, in the year of 1960, Vietnam had a
population of 34.7 million people.
Vietnam - Mortality rate
The value for Mortality rate, under-5 (per 1,000 live births) in Vietnam was 21.60 as of
2016. As the graph below shows, over the past 52 years this indicator reached a
maximum value of 86.80 in 1964 and a minimum value of 21.60 in 2016.

Definition: Under-five mortality rate is the probability per 1,000 that a newborn baby will
die before reaching age five, if subject to age-specific mortality rates of the specified
year.

www.childmortality.org.

Adult mortality rate is the probability of dying between the ages of 15 and 60--that is, the probability
of a 15-year-old dying before reaching age 60, if subject to current age-specific mortality rates
between those ages.

 The current death rate for Vietnam in 2019 is 6.354 deaths per 1000 people,
a 1.02% increase from 2018.
 The death rate for Vietnam in 2018 was 6.290 deaths per 1000 people, a 1.03%
increase from 2017.
 The death rate for Vietnam in 2017 was 6.226 deaths per 1000 people, a 1.04%
increase from 2016.
 The death rate for Vietnam in 2016 was 6.162 deaths per 1000 people, a 1.05%
increase from 2015.
Cause-specific mortality
The commonest primary causes of death were infection (38%), cardio/respiratory
disorders (27%), congenital abnormalities (17%) and neurological disorders (10%) (Fig
3). Excluding unknown causes of death and extreme prematurity (CFR 60%), congenital
abnormalities had the highest CFR (44.7%), followed by cardio/respiratory disorders
(40.9%). For neonates who died and had admission weights ≥ 1500g, the next most
common causes of death after infection, were cardio/respiratory disorders and
congenital abnormalities (Fig 4).
Cause-specific morbidity
The two commonest discharge diagnoses were infection (32%) and prematurity (29%)
(Fig 2). “Other causes” were the third commonest category (13%). The majority of these
“other causes” had signs of jaundice (9% of all admissions) but no other diagnostic
information was performed. Of all the cases with jaundice (n = 458), 12.9% had the
diagnosis of kernicterus. Congenital abnormalities accounted for 5% of all admissions

There were 5064 admissions with the commonest discharge diagnoses being infection
(32%) and prematurity (29%). The case fatality ratio (CFR) was 13.9% (n = 703).
Infection (38%), cardio/respiratory disorders (27%), congenital abnormalities (20%) and
neurological conditions (10%) were the main causes of death. Of all the deaths, 38%
had an admission weight ≥2500g. Higher CFR were associated with lower admission
weights. Very few deaths (3%) occurred in the first 24 hours of life. Most referrals and
deaths came from Hanoi and neighbouring provincial hospitals, with few from the most
distant provinces. Two distant referral provinces had the highest CFR.
