Education in Philippines needs more classrooms and shortage teachers to support the students. Some of the students dropouts from the school because of poverty and personal problems like low income have enough money for tuition fee and student will stop going to school less motivated and they will choose to have a job and support their family needs.

Education rates in Philippines

Education rates in Philippines elementary and high schools dropouts has risen reaching 4.8 million or 11 percent increased in 2012

Corruption

Well, I’m sure that most of you are more than a little familiar with this one. I, for one, am not all that surprised about it either. Well, just so most of you know, it’s been stated that majority of the taxes we pay supposedly goes to the department of education. If that is indeed the case, why are there so many students in the Philippines who are forced to study without classrooms, books or a means of safe transport.

Unqualified Personnel And Materials

No offense to teachers who may read this, but I have met my share of supposed “academics” who have nothing better to do than look out for number one. For every good teacher out there who wants to provide students with correct lessons, good ideas and with a dedication to giving children a brighter future, there are those who are irresponsible about the safety of students as well as what kind of values they’re trying to espouse.

Then there are those study materials out there, books and what not that all too often prove to be inadequate in providing students with accurate information. Wrong ideas as well as wrong facts will never help students in becoming productive in school. That’s why some of them did not go to school.
