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

"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.
