School Opening Day Horror

guMost classes at all school levels will resume on June 7, Monday. I expect to see images of school opening day horror in most public schools in the metro. It's sad to think that this country's government has never made education of its people a priority investment. Take for instance the number of elementary pupils sharing a textbook. Where in the civilized Southeast Asia could you find such a poor scene? It's depressing how statistics show the youth's ranking second to Asia's least competent in the Sciences. up:gucci handbags

Regardless of all my exaggeration, the point is that the Philippine government should take the far-reaching step to efficiently and effectively channel more funds to developing the Philippine basic education system, with much emphasis in the advancement of Math and Science education. Moreover, the Philippine Regulation Commission must be keen in setting higher standards in Education board exams. Given the funds, the education department must continually train teachers to ensure their effectiveness in mentoring. We've been hearing failed scores in the teachers' (re)evaluation, and this certainly is not good news.

For sometime, I passed up accounts of recurring Philippine social, political, and economic ills. However, I realized that being apolitical does not do any good for my community. Some region in my brain dictates that I should revive the dying social activist in me. Time to take action.
