Q. What do you see as problems in the PH educational system and suggest solutions?

It has long been believed that access to a high-quality education is a right within the confines of society,
as stated in the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights. This is predicated on the relationship
between it and other crucial rights like the right to life, which enables everyone to live fully and
meaningfully. This implies that everyone should have easy access to high-quality education, rather than
education in and of itself, regardless of their age, race, gender, or position in society. As a result, it
provides a platform for inclusive development that aims to give those who are currently marginalized
more power. This now holds true for the Philippine public education system, taking into account the
national government's various agencies and taking into account the Philippines' status as a developing
nation.

This section aims to demonstrate the differences between the educational opportunities offered by
private and public schools. Although the COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted this disparity because of
the online environment, problems with the country's educational system have existed for some time.
The DepEd-implemented modules for public education have recently drawn attention amid concerns
about their caliber. Grammar mistakes and unverified information have drawn criticism.

The lack of infrastructure and facilities in public schools further emphasizes the problem of
conduciveness. It is common to hear about overcrowded lecture halls due to a lack of classroom space.
There are typically two class shifts per school day: morning and afternoon. The time allotted for each
allocation is shortened in a triple-class shift setting. Despite DepEd's assurances that these were only
short-term solutions due to incomplete school facilities, the struggles of both teachers and students
cannot be ignored.

The government's primary responsibility in enhancing the nation's educational system is to develop
policies that ensure that the rights of both students and teachers are actively upheld. It is the duty of the
government to provide students with the tools and environments necessary for effective learning, with a
focus on higher-quality modules and a suitable student-to-teacher ratio. On the other hand, teachers
must be given adequate class sizes, adequate pay, and resources to help them with their difficult job of
delivering education. Despite the national budget giving the education sector a sizable allocation, steps
must be taken to guarantee these fundamental rights. More importantly, in the context of today, wise
financial management is essential for enabling students to adapt distance learning.
