Education Reforms

Senator Mar Roxas is pushing for an omnibus measure that would ensure the people's incomes in the long-term: education reform.

"Huwag nating kalimutan ang 'income side.' At para sa akin, ang pinakamabisang pamamaraan para masiguro natin na may kikitain ang, at patuloy na magkakaroon ng pagkakataon para sa, ating mga kababayan ay ang pagsasaayos ng ating education system at pagbibigay sa kanila ng tama't wastong educational preparation,” Roxas declared.

Roxas, President of the Liberal Party, said "we need to fix not only the roof but the whole house which is our education system," as Filipino students are being left behind, compared to their counterparts in Asia and the world.

Among the reforms he is seeking through his Senate Bill 2294, the proposed Omnibus Education Reform Act of 2008, is instituting the "mother tongue" or local language as medium of instruction.

Roxas is also pushing for an expanded 12-year basic education program. This would include competency evaluation at grades three and six, a remedial year between grade school and high school, and an "output-oriented" high school curriculum that would equip graduates with the right skills, whether they choose to pursue college or already be employed.

Way to go, Mar. Education should always be a top priority and the government really needs to allocate a lot more of the budget on it. It is our future. As to pilipino being the medium of instruction, that is basic. Even Rizal, at age 8, knew intuitively the close link between language and love of country, as demonstrated in his poem, Sa Aking Mga Kabata. And there are the other equally important practical reasons why pilipino should be the medium of instruction in the classroom.

Economic reform and education reform are not contradictory and exclusive of the other. Rather, one compliments the other. One should teach people to fish so you do not need to give fish indefinitely. And, if it is necessary to increase the number of elementary and high school levels to improve the quality of graduates, then so be it.

Private sectarian schools need to be secularized and/or nationalized.

Ramos on RP education: Its going to get worse

He said the increase in population and other factors could make the picture even grimmer.
Were talking here of access to facilitiesteachers, classrooms, schoolbooks, computers. That has been exacerbated by the oil and food crisis which is happening around the world, he said in an interview after his keynote speech at the 17th Annual Asian Media Information and Communication Center conference.

Instead of toeing the Churchs line, Ramos believed the national population policy should be pro-choice, where couples could decide on the number of their children based on their capacity to raise them.

The Philippines' Department of Education said that a mandatory implementation of a 12-year basic education program for public schools has been revived to improve the level of learning in the country, the Inquirer reported.

Fantastic!! But it is ridiculous that the government should only move after the situation becomes a problem. We should always aim to be no. 1, specially re education, and not just play catch up.
