EDUC 203- CURRICULUM PRINCIPLES, DESIGN, AND EVALUATION
The Philippines, the East Asian’ developmental states’ and
education: a comparative analysis of why the Philippines failed to
develop
Philippines was produced some globally competitive individual.
But, if there were thousands of successful Filipinos outside the country,
there were also millions of Filipinos suffered in poverty.
Reasons determined in various study of some scholars in the
country.
Number one reason, “mismatch!” We cannot deny the fact that
many were graduated in a course which not align with their interest and
abilities. Or if not, the education trainings they underwent was far different
to the actual job outside the school. It maybe because of the lacking of
instructional materials or laboratory materials that would cater the needs
and interest of every individual. That is why there were millions of
Filipinos who were bachelor degree holder but landed jobless. Some
worked as laborer and other job not related to their finished course.
Next reason, lack of school classrooms and facilities throughout the
country. Though the government put emphasis on building structures for
educations, still thousands of schools doesn’t have enough classrooms and
materials for the learners. The number of classrooms cannot accommodate
the number of learners every year. Every year number of enrollees risen,
thus scenario in having or conducting classes outside the classroom was
seen in some places of the country. Especially those in the far flung areas.
Where, not only the classrooms was the identified problem or challenges,
yet even electricity, internet connection, water supply, and many other.
There were many other reasons why the country failed when it
comes to education such as deteriorating quality of education, economy,
overworked and underpaid teaching staff, and the language used in
instruction. Whatever might be the reason the local and national
government should work forcefully and find solution for it. Because even
before up to this time that we are now in the 21st century educational
system of the country was far behind compare to other Asian countries. If
they can do it, why we can’t? What is really wrong with the Philippines?
Scholars determined already the problem yet till now we can’t find the
solution. If there is, only for the few.
It was heartbreaking to realize how poor our education was. We
have many capable, brilliant and skilled teachers yet the support of the
government was lacking. Teachers in the remote areas only need
electricity, internet connection, and most and for all safe cemented
roadways in going to school. If you compared the things done with the
other Asian countries that was just a small dot. If internet connectivity was
difficult to fulfill or maybe were too ambitious, even the roadways can be
fix and cemented for the sake of the teachers and learners travelling and
passing every day.
As a teacher, I am knocking the heart of the government officials to
“please step down and see the problem with your own eyes.” Talk the
people on the field to see what you can do for them. Experience how
difficult to pass those mountainous rocky road, especially when it rained.
Despite these challenges in our education system, my willingness,
my vocation, determination, and passion to transform and touch the lives
of every learner under my care would always set on fire, and nothing can
stop it no matter what!
