MERGED: Modern Education, Literacy and English Proficiency

[godsaint]

---

DepEd has invested the lion’s share of its lion’s share budget in the so-called cyber-education that aims to “modernize” schools. Believing that equipments alone can put across lots of information to young tabula rasas, educators tend to obscure the fact that time and resources also counts in students’ learning.

Unsaon kaha pagpahimulos sa cyber-education kun ang oras sa pagtuon og mahinungdanong butang, ma-dilute lang ngadto sa walay hinungdan nga subjects sama sa Filipino? With the globalized economy, it is high time to revise students curriculum unto what could really provide the impetus. This means adding more teaching time for english, science, and mathematics. Non-sensical and simplistic Filipino (actually tagalog) must be abolished.

Cyber Education is far from becoming reality because of corruption .As of now most public schools have not been provided with computers for computerization.As far as abolition of Filipino subject,Im not in favor of this.from our great grandfather this has been our national language.Why not improve the standard of teaching from Filipino ,english etc.

Literacy and competency are two different things. Literate Filipinos outnumber illiterate the illiterate ones.

Literacy, I'd say about 75-80%
Competency wise (internationally), maybe just about 25-30%, 35% the most.

I agree literacy of Filipinos is not that low.
Education system should be improved to increase our competency.

Philippine Science High Schools are good model schools for private schools to follow in their way of teaching..people who come from these schools are above average in terms of Science, Math, and English...we have 1 in Labangon and another 1 in Mandaue City. i don't know if there's more here in Cebu.
