    Education in the Philippines

    There are underlying issues regarding the education system here in the Philippines

    before the pandemic happened. Quality, budget, and affordability for education seems to be

    some of the issues in education in the Philippines. There is also the mismatch in between the

    actual jobs and educational training causing higher unemployment and underemployment

    rates in the Philippines, reaching about 600, 000 educated people being unemployed. Poverty

    is one of the major issue regarding the affordability of education as well as the high drop-out

    rates or-out of-school youths. There is also the fact that the Philippines has one of the lowest

    budget allotted for education in Southeast Asia. The lack of facilities and the high ratio of

    student to teacher in a classroom.

    The Pandemic has worsened the situation of the Philippines regarding the education

    system. Education, which is a right, is slowly turning into a privilege that the poor cannot

    receive. Distant learning or remote learning utilizes internet connection and gadgets to teach

    students. Phones and laptops are needed to use the internet. The use of the internet also

    requires you to spend money by getting plans or promos the internet provider offer. Parents,

    whose child or children, are trying to enroll in a private school still has to spend tuition fees

    for facilities and labs that are needed to be maintained even though their child or children

    may be unable to use the facilities being maintained using their money.

    The Aeta, who are indigenous people that live in the countryside, are some of the ones

    who are mostly stricken with poverty. This means that they are one of the most affected in the

    mode of using distant learning as a way to educate children. As schools are usually far from

    homes in rural places in the Philippines, it is hard to use modular learning as a way to learn.
    However, Aeta also have a hard time buying gadgets to use for distant learning as well as the

    privilege of using internet connection.

    Even though there is the usage of modular learning, students are more prone to

    copying other student’s works and assignments as well as parents instead of teaching their

    children on how to do their assignments and tasks are spoiling their children and answering

    their children’s modules instead. It is also harder to understand as there is no one to guide or

    teach you whether your answers are correct or not since there are no feedbacks about the

    modules that are submitted to the teachers.

    Internet connection is also an issue that is confronted by many since some use online

    classes instead of modular learning. Video calls and meets requires quite a huge amount of

    data as well as a good internet speed. This issue is getting called out by people to various

    internet providers regarding the need of improving the quality of services they need is quite

    important amidst this pandemic since it is not only used by students and teachers but also by

    people who are working in their homes.
