 Although the Philippine educational system has
extensively been a model for other Southeast Asian
EDUCATION countries, in recent years such a matter has no
longer stood true, and such a system has been
IN THE deteriorated - such a fact is especially evident and
true in the country's more secluded poverty-
PHILIPPINES stricken regions.
Nationwide the Philippines faces several issues
when it comes to the educational system.
 Quality education for all citizens at all
levels is the mandate of the constitution of the
Republic of the Philippines. As stipulated in
Article XIV, Section 1 of the 1987 constitution:
QUALITY OF “The state shall protect and promote the rights of
all citizens to quality education at all levels and
EDUCATION shall take appropriate steps to make such education
accessible to all.” Education is essential for
everyone. Education helps people earn respect
and recognition. It is indispensable in all
aspect of life (personally, socially, physically,
emotionally, spiritually and intellectually).
 The Programme for International Student
Assessment (PISA) is a worldwide study by the
Organisation
QUALITY OF for Economic Co-operation and Development
(OECD) in member and non-member nations
EDUCATION intended to evaluate educational systems by
measuring 15-year-old school pupils' scholastic
performance on mathematics, science, and
reading.[1] It was first performed in 2000 and then
repeated every three years.
  A 2018 study found that a sample number of
QUALITY OF 15-year-old Filipino students
ranked last in reading comprehension out of
EDUCATION 79 countries
. They also ranked 78th in science and math.
 SOME OF THE REASONS FOR POOR
PERFORMANC OF THE STUDENTS
 There is a class divide between rich and poor students in the
country.
 Many public schools lack computers and other tools despite the
digital age
 A shortfall in the number of public school teachers is
 More than 3 million children, youth, and adults remain
unenrolled since the school shutdown.
 Due to COVID-19, education issues in the
Philippines have increased and received new
challenges that worsened the current state of
the country. With the sudden events brought
QUALITY OF about by the health crisis, distance learning
modes via the internet or TV broadcasts were
EDUCATION ordered. Further, a blended learning program
was launched in October 2020, which involves
online classes, printouts, and lessons
broadcast on TV and social platforms. Thus,
the new learning pathways rely on students
and teachers having access to the internet.
 Parents’ and guardians’ top concerns with this are:
• Money for mobile load
• Lack of gadget
QUALITY OF • Poor internet signal

EDUCATION • Students’ struggle to focus and learn online

• Parents’ lack of knowledge of their kids’ lessons
FACTORS
AFFTECTING  The teacher and teaching methods
 Educational content
THE  Learning environment
QUALITY OF  School management
EDUCATION  Preconditions for pupils
 Funding and organization
 It is one that provides all learners with what
WHAT they need to become economically productive that
help lead them to holistic development and
QUALITY sustainable lifestyles.

EDUCATION Students must not take learning for granted. In

times of crises and sudden changes, having access
MEANS? to education should be valued. Aside from the fact
that it is a main human right, it also impacts the
other human rights that we have.
 The second issue that the Philippine educational
BUDGET system faces is the budget for education.
Although it has been mandated by the Philippine
FOR Constitution for the government to allocate the
EDUCATION highest proportion of its government to
education, the Philippines remains to have one of
the lowest budget allocations to education
among ASEAN countries.
  Even before COVID-19 struck and caused
BUDGET problems for millions of families, the country’s
FOR financial status is one of the top factors that add
to the growing education issues in the
EDUCATION Philippines. Furthermore, more children, youth,
and adults can’t get a leg up and are thus left
behind due to unfair access to learning.
 November 25, 2021 – The Department of
Education (DepEd) successfully defended its
approved budget for 2022 amounting to Php
629.8 billion before the Senate of the
BUDGET Philippines last November 22, Monday.
FOR
EDUCATION DepEd and its attached agencies are set to
receive a P629.8 billion budget for its National
Expenditure Program for 2022, 6% higher than
its P595 billion budget in 2021 to primarily
support the expansion of safe face-to-face
classes.
 DepEd has seen a significant increase in budget
allocations in its big-ticket programs, including the
Computerization Program (94.27%) and Government
Assistance and Subsidies (5.73%), which includes the
BUDGET Senior High School voucher program, among others.

FOR
EDUCATION The budget for the General Management and
Supervision (MOOE) has also increased from P7.61
billion to P8.09 billion to fund the health and safety
needs of the schools in implementing face-to-face
classes.
 School Maintenance and Other Operating Expenses
(MOOE)
Over the years, budget, in alignment with the school
development plan, is a powerful tool to improve educational
BUDGET institutions. A well-planned and well-spent budget helps in
achieving personal, national, and global development goals.
FOR Like most countries around the world, Philippines has
EDUCATION recognized the crucial role of school budget; hence, the
Department of Education (DepEd) allocates various financial
resources to schools to support them in enabling the students
and school personnel to perform better. One of these
resources made available for use by public elementary schools
is the Maintenance and Other Operating Expenses (MOOE)
fund.
 Supplementary Guidelines on Managing Maintenance and
Other Operating Expenses Allocation for Schools to
DEPED Support the Implementation of Basic Education Learning
Continuity Plan in Time of COVID-19 Pandemic
ORDER NO. The covid-19 pandemic has heavily affected and posed

15, S. 2020 challenges to the various sectors within the country,

particularly the basic education sector. As response, the
DepEd has adopted the Basic Education Continuity Plan, a
package of education interventions that will respond to the
basic education challenges brought about by Covid-19 as the
overall framework to govern SY 2020-2021
AFFORDABILITY OF
EDUCATION

For families, affordability can be defined as the

ability to purchase needed/appropriate education
and have sufficient resources to enjoy at least the
minimum consumption of other essential goods
and services.
AFFORDABILITY OF EDUCATION

The third prevalent issue the Philippine educational system

continuously encounters is the affordability of education. A
big disparity in educational achievements is evident across
various social groups. Socioeconomically disadvantaged
students otherwise known as students who are members of
high and low-income poverty-stricken families, have
immensely higher drop-out rates in the elementary level.
Additionally, most freshmen students at the tertiary level
come from relatively well-off families.
Filipinos from rich households or living in cities and developed
towns have more access to private schools. In contrast, less
favored groups are more bound to deal with lack of classrooms,
teachers, and means to sustain topnotch learning.

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.
