These fundamental problems in the country’s education system include lack of classrooms and school materials, high student-teacher ratio and low salaries of teachers, Trillanes said.
Trillanes also cited the government’s unpreparedness to the threatened retrenchment of about 85,000 college professors and employees when the program starts in 2016.
As chairman of the Senate civil service and government reorganization committee, Trillanes said he has conducted a country-wide inspections and consultations on the K to 12 program.
Trillanes said the poor quality of the country’s system would only be solved by first addressing these fundamental problems.
“Once we provide a conducive learning environment, it’s going to reflect on the student’s performance in school,’’ he pointed out.
Trillanes also chided the government’s claim that it has already eradicated the classroom backlogs.
“That is not true. There are still a lot of schools which continue to use make-shift classrooms, or take shifts in using classrooms just to accommodate their students. This situation would even worsen once two batches of students would be absorbed in addition to the four levels of high school that we have now. In terms of school materials, students continue to share with each other with the ratio of as high as four students per module. This number will definitely increase as the K to 12 Program commences in 2016,” he said.
For me I would support this campaign kai mura raman ug gi lamog lamog sa gobyerno and pag implement ani nga educational program and they have to solve a lot of issues before they will pursue with this big change.....PUEDE MAN PERO kinahanglan pa ug taas nga preparasyon....
