THE TRANSFORMATION IN THE PHILIPPINE

EDUCATION WAS BROUGHT BY GENERATIONS OF COLONIALISM AND

IMPERIALISM. (Durban, et.al, 2012)


PHILIPPINE GOVERNMENT IS EXERTING MORE

EFFORTS TO IMPROVE THE SYSTEM AND PROVIDE

FREE EDUCATION SERVICE TO EVERY FILIPINO

STUDENT.


IT IS A MUST FOR EVERY MEMBER OF EDUCATIONAL

INSTITUTION TO GRANT QUALITY EDUCATION TO

ALL THE FILIPINO STUDENTS.


Philippine’s Educational System:ACCESS TO FREE PUBLIC EDUCATION WAS FIRST EMPHASIZED IN THE

1935 MALOLOS CONSTITUTION, DIRECTING THE STATE TO SUPPORT THE PARENTS IN

RAISING THEIR CHILDREN FOR “CIVIC EFFICIENCY,”

(Abad, Julia Andrea, 2007)


THE 1987 PHILIPPINE CONSTITUTION HAS THE MOST COMPREHENSIVE SET OF PROVISIONS IN SUPPORT OF EDUCATION-RELATED POLICIES.

• ARTICLE II• ARTICLE XIV • ARTICLE XV


ARTICLE XIV DIRECTS THE GOVERNMENT TO

GIVE THE HIGHEST BUDGETARY PRIORITY TO

EDUCATION


ARTICLE XVIII, THE STATE INSTRUCT THE CONGRESS TO GIVE PRIORITY TO THE FULL IMPLEMENTATION OF

FREE SECONDARY EDUCATION


OUT OF 85.2 M FILIPINOS 40% YOUNG 21% HIGH SCHOOL, TERTIARY AND VOCATIONAL 22% YOUNG PEASANTS 21% CONTRACT YOUNG WORKERS 36% UNEMPLOYED AND OUT OF SCHOOL ONLY 4% ARE WORKING


DROPOUT RATE IN THE COUNTRY FOR EVERY 100 CHILDREN BORN

67 FINISHED THE PRIMARY SCHOOL OUT OF THESE 67 PUPILS ONLY 45 OF THEM WERE ABLE TO GET AND FINISHED SECONDARY SCHOOL THESE 45 HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATES ONLY 7 WERE ABLE TO FINISH COLLEGE.

(Patindol, Jeanette C., The Global Youth, 2007)


LACK OF ACCESS TO EDUCATION IS A DEEP-ROOTED PROBLEM FOR LESS

FORTUNATE SECTORS. MANY CHILDREN WERE NOT ABLE TO FINISH SCHOOL AND OR FAILED TO ACQUIRE

THE TARGETED COMPETENCIES. POVERTY IS A SIGNIFICANT FACTOR IN

LIMITING ACCESS TO EDUCATION.


ONLY 3% OF YOUTH AGED 7-12 ARE RECORDED AS OUT-OF-SCHOOL. IN 2007, THE WORLD DEVELOPMENT REPORT NOTED THAT “Enriched childcare and preschool programs in the Philippines have led to higher achievement test scores and high school graduation rate.”

BUILDING A PEOPLE MEANS ELIMINATING OUR WEAKNESSES AND DEVELOPING OUR STRENGTHS; THIS

STARTS WITH THE ANALYSIS, UNDERSTANDING, AND APPRECIATION

OF THESE STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES.

(Licuanan, Patricia, Moral Recovery Program, 2007)

Filipino StudentYOUNG PEOPLE IN DEVELOPING

NATIONS ARE MORE CONCERNED ABOUT CRIME AND THE

ENVIRONMENT WHILE THOSE IN THE INDUSTRIALIZED WORLD EXPRESSED SERIOUS UNCERTAINTIES ABOUT THE FUTURE OF THE WORLD AND TEND

TO REJECT “THE OLD WAYS OF DOING THINGS”.


PHILIPPINES IS NOT EXEMPTED IN EXPERIENCING PERVASIVE SOCIO-

ECONOMIC AND CULTURAL TRANSITIONS BROUGHT ABOUT BY GLOBALIZATION.

ONGOING MODERNIZATION, INCREASING LEVELS OF URBANIZATION AND

INDUSTRIALIZATION ALONG WITH THE WORSENING LEVEL OF POVERTY HAVE

DRASTICALLY CHANGED THE FACE OF THE FILIPINO SOCIETY.


THE INCREASE IN THE NUMBER OF CHILDREN WHO ARE GROWING UP UNDER THE CARE OF EITHER SOLO

OR SURROGATE PARENTS.

PARENTAL CONTROL IS DIMINISHING AND HAS AN INFLUENCE AND OR MAY POSE UNDESIRABLE CONSEQUENCES

ON YOUTH BEHAVIOR.


INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY AND THE SPREAD OF MASS

MEDIA EXPOSURE ALSO TENDS TO FACILITATE ADOLESCENT

RISK BEHAVIOR.


FILIPINO YOUTH TODAY HAVE BEEN TYPICALLY FRIENDLY AND AWARE OF

CURRENT SOCIAL ISSUES, THEIR DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES TO THEMSELVES, THEIR FAMILIES AND

SOCIETY.


FILIPINO YOUTH APPEAR TO HAVE SHIFTED FROM IDEALISM TO PRAGMATISM.

THERE IS NO EVIDENCE AND OR MANIFESTATIONS THAT FILIPINO YOUTH IS BECOMING LIBERATED AND PERMISSIVE

COMPARED TO WESTERN COUNTERPARTS. THERE IS NO QUESTION OF SHIFTS IN

THEIR ATTITUDES. (Ogena, Nimfa B., How are the Filipino Youth Changing)


FILIPINO COLLEGE STUDENTS GENERALLY POSSESS POSITIVE ATTITUDES TOWARDS

THEIR PERSONAL PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE. THE TREND IS THAT ATTITUDE

TOWARDS THE PRESENT IS LEAST POSITIVE, FOLLOWED BY THE ATTITUDE TOWARDS THE PAST AND THE MOST POSITIVE ATTITUDE IS

TOWARDS THE FUTURE.


Rights and Responsibilities of Filipino Youth

IN THE PHILIPPINES, ACADEMIC FREEDOM IS ENSHRINED IN THE

CONSTITUTION. THE 1987 CONSTITUTION STATES THAT

“ACADEMIC FREEDOM SHALL BE ENJOYED IN ALL INSTITUTIONS OF

HIGHER LEARNING.”


THIS WAS REITERATED IN THE LAW CREATING THE COMMISSION ON HIGHER EDUCATION, R.A. 7722, WHICH STATES THAT “THE STATE

SHALL LIKEWISE ENSURE AND PROTECT ACADEMIC FREEDOM AND SHALL PROMOTE ITS EXERCISE AND

OBSERVANCE…”


FURTHERMORE, THE SAME LAW STATES THAT “NOTHING

IN THIS ACT SHALL BE CONSTRUED AS LIMITING THE

ACADEMIC FREEDOM OF UNIVERSITIES AND

COLLEGES.” (Garcia, Ester., University of the East President)


ARTICLES IN THE PHILIPPINE CONSTITUTION OF 1987 THAT

DEALS, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, WITH THE EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM IN

THE PHILIPPINES. IN ARTICLE II, SECTIONS 11, 12, 13, AND 17

STATES THAT:


1.IT VALUES THE DIGNITY OF EVERY HUMAN PERSON AND GUARANTEES FULL RESPECT FOR HUMAN RIGHTS;

2. IT SHALL STRENGTHEN THE FAMILY AS A BASIC, SELF-GOVERNING SOCIAL UNIT ANDPROTECT THE LIFE OF THE MOTHER AND THE LIFE OF THE UNBORN FROM CONCEPTION;

3. IT SHALL PROVIDE SUPPORT TO PARENTS IN THE REARING OF THEIR CHILDRENFOR CIVIC EFFICIENCY AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF MORAL CHARACTER;


4. IT RECOGNIZES THE VITAL ROLE OF THE YOUTH IN THE COUNTRY'S DEVELOPMENT;

5. IT SHALL PROMOTE AND PROTECT THE PHYSICAL, MORAL, SPIRITUAL, INTELLECTUAL ANDSOCIAL WELL-BEING OF THE YOUTH;

THE STATE IS MANDATED TO PROTECT AND DEFEND THE "RIGHT OF CHILDREN TO ASSISTANCE,

INCLUDING PROPER CARE AND NUTRITION, AND SPECIAL PROTECTION FROM ALL FORMS OF NEGLECT,

ABUSE, CRUELTY, EXPLOITATION, AND OTHER CONDITIONS PREJUDICIAL TO THEIR

DEVELOPMENT" AS WELL AS THE "RIGHT OF FAMILIES OR FAMILY ASSOCIATIONS TO

PARTICIPATE IN THE PLANNING AND IMPLEMENTATION OF POLICIES AND PROGRAMS THAT AFFECT THEM" (ARTICLE XV, SECTION 3, SUB-SECTIONS 3 AND 4.


THE RIGHT TO EDUCATION IS AN ENTITLEMENT TO ALL FILIPINOS AND

ENSHRINED IN SEVERAL INTERNATIONAL HUMAN AGREEMENTS SUCH AS

UNIVERSAL DECLARATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS, THE INTERNATIONAL COVENANT

ON CIVIL AND POLITICAL RIGHTS, AND THE INTERNATIONAL COVENANT ON ECONOMIC, SOCIAL AND CULTURAL

RIGHTS, AMONG OTHERS.


FULL ENJOYMENT AND EXERCISE OF THE RIGHT TO EDUCATION IS

CURTAILED WHEN OTHER RIGHTS AND FREEDOM ARE NOT RECOGNIZED, PROTECTED AND PROMOTED WITHIN OR INSIDE EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS.


VIOLATIONS ON THE RIGHTS AND FREEDOM OF STUDENTS

GUARANTEED BY THE CONSTITUTION AND EXISTING LAWS REMAIN

RAMPANT.

EXERCISE OF CIVIL AND POLITICAL RIGHTS IS ALSO CURTAILED BY POLICIES THAT PROHIBIT

THE PARTICIPATION AND ACTIVE INVOLVEMENT OF STUDENTS IN LARGER

POLITICAL ISSUES.


DESPITE THE PROVISIONS IN THE CONSTITUTION THAT PRIMARY

EDUCATION IS FREE; STUDENTS ARE DENIED OF THEIR EDUCATION DUE TO VARIOUS FEES COLLECTED IN

VARIOUS FORMS IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS. ALMOST EVERY SCHOOL

YEAR, NEWS ON SCHOOLS IMPOSING “VOLUNTARY”

CONTRIBUTIONS ALWAYS COMES TO THE FORE.

(ASPBAE) AND THE GLOBAL CAMPAIGN FOR EDUCATION (GCE) IN 2008, EDUCATION PERFORMANCE UNDER THE

ADMINISTRATION OF PRESIDENT GLORIA MACAPAGAL-ARROYO
