MERGED: Most Corrupt Government Agencies in the Philippines Today?

[taga_ipil]

and I didn't mention how much money pours in every year to the department being the most well-budgeted agency in the country. for this year alone, the deped is anticipated to eat the biggest chunk of the national budget to the tune of P1.23 Trillion!

and what have we got?

- underpaid teachers (usahay delayed pa ang sweldo). and you know what, more than 60% of public school teachers are heavily in debt.

- lack of textbooks/school supplies to public school children. and guess what, many of our textbooks are poorly written or some of them contain wrong information. and the supplies, by the time reach half the school year, more than half of children in public schools already run out of supplies by then.

- and more...!

hehe. sayop bro. ang 1.23 trillion will be the whole national budget for 2008.

as for DepEd, it will be 145 billion allocation. still, DepEd will get the biggest share of the pie. most of that budget will go to the salaries of the existing and would-be hired teachers. mas maayo na ni rn ky ma huwas-huwasan na gyud gmay ang mga teachers, as u said earlier that 60% of them is buried in debt.

the DepEd budget actually means an increase of P8.6 billion which would allow it to hire 10,000 more teachers, build 12,100 new classrooms and buy 35.5 million new books.

It will also pave the way for the procurement of P1.67 million worth of new desks, train 171,617 Mathematics, Science and English teachers and create 7111,750 scholarship slots in private high schools, nationwide.

we myt recall in 2006 that the quality of education in the country had sunk to its lowest level...of course, the quality of education cannot be done overnight. The reading skills suffered with many Grade 6 students unable to read.

and consider this: of the elementary school teachers tested for English proficiency in the school year 2006-2007 by the DepEd, only 60 percent passed.

The secondary education teachers fared worse -- only 20 percent passed, 70 percent were below the desired proficiency and 10 percent failed the test.

these are full-fledged teachers, pointing to the tremendous impact on the entire educational system of teachers who fail to master English, the medium of instruction in all public schools.

AND REGARDING DePEd AS ONE OF THE MOST CORRUPT, it was 5 years ago then.

“Five years ago, we used to be the top five most corrupt agencies because of the scandals involving textbooks, uniforms, luxury vehicles, furniture and classrooms. But this has changed,” Luz clarified. The SWS 2003 enterprise survey shows that we are the fifth cleanest after the Supreme Court (SC), Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Department of Health (DOH), Department of Budget and Management (DBM). Sixty one percent of the public survey believes that the DepED is sincere in cleaning up corruption. This is relative to the 2001 survey before the change of government that DepED was considered the most corrupt with a negative nine percent rating."---Florelyn Morada, EID

Optimist side lang ta bro...hehe

---ooo---

"There are numerous surveys on perceptions of corruption in the Philippines. The most prominent of these are carried out by SWS, Pulse Asia, Ibon Foundation, the Makati Business Club, Transparency International (TI), and PERC. These studies have, for the most part, painted the image of a graft-ridden country and a government seemingly powerless over corruption. But, until now, they had simply listed the Philippines among the most corrupt — but not the most corrupt.

In the face of such ominous news it is easy to become overly pessimistic. But with sound data, respected local partners, and on-the-ground presence, there are numerous opportunities to advance public understanding of the issue of corruption as well as monitor progress in combating this obstacle to Philippine development."---Ky D.

Mea culpa! i'm sorry about the numbers...yes giddyboy you are right. but 145B is still very big. And with all this money, we still get a VERY MEDIOCRE public school system.

yeah...but what i'm saying is despite the huge budget the department is getting, we still get mediocre results.

i do agree that achieving quality education is no easy task BUT i don't know why pupils from the public school systems are generally behind.

mao lagi na 5 years ago, one of the most corrupt ang Deped, plus the fact that we are getting low-scored teachers sa public skuls compared to the private skul teachers...sa sweldo man pud gud nag diperencya.

but now it is the 5th cleanest per SWS survey and they are trying to improve the teachers performance which is supposed to make an IMPACT gyud...so tanawon lang nato kng naa ba kausaban after 2008...hehe
