Activity 1
1. As an educator of today’s era, examine the Philippine educational system
then present the challenges on the following elements:
a. Aims;
The post-COVID lockdown scenario in the education industry is teeming with

various challenges. The primary challenge is the imbalance between the
efficiency, the pace of learning, quality, and overall learning experience in
offline and online classes.
There is a huge demand for lifelong learning to cope with social and
technological changes. The educational institutions are creating literate people
with immense skill gaps, leading to unemployment or mismatched careers.
While the world is getting revolutionized with technology and disruptions at a
break-neck pace, educational institutions are still teaching about ancient
processors. Adaptation is the key to both technological advancements and
accountability.
Further, the educators are stuck with the time and effort-consuming test paper
creation while grappling with the management of educational institutions in
the light of pandemic-enforced digitization.
b. Curriculum;
This shift in learning has occurred because the emergence of hybrid learning
sources can help young professionals acquire multidisciplinary skillsets and
reduce their reliance on linear skills. This will come in handy in managing
employees and labor from multiple backgrounds and enable them to leverage
technology to make everyday jobs easier, more streamlined, and value-driven.
However, the large-scale adoption and embracing of such learning sources are
still going to take a lot of time and granular penetration of new-age learning is
still a far-fetched statement. While the change of syllabus and book content in
the government institutions is still going to take some time to be changed, the
teachers can themselves choose to introduce the students to new things.
c. Textbooks;
Despite the long reign of textbooks in modern education, concerns are now
being raised over textbooks and their role in learning today. Textbooks are
outdated. Textbooks are a core part of the curriculum, so one might assume
they are conceived, researched, written, and published as unique contributions
to advancing knowledge. Textbooks are not enough. Recently, I’ve heard parents
telling me their kids are not using textbooks that often, or that schools do not
require them to use the textbooks. It leaves them wondering: How will classes
be conducted without textbooks?
d. Teacher; teaching method; and
It has been the goal of the Philippine education system to innovate the
curriculum into globally competitive structure. Traditional teaching was the
long-established teaching style in Philippine education system wherein the
students are passive in terms of participating in class, due to they only have to
seat quietly on their places and listen to the teachers’ didactic method.
Teachers transmit knowledge and understanding of ideas and values to the
students (Chi-kin et al., 2010), other term is “spoon feeding”. When the
classroom is teacher-centered, the classroom becomes orderly and the teacher
can control the flow of the class easily. And since the teacher direct the
classroom activities, the teacher doesn’t have to worry if the student may miss
out important topic. The only active participation that the student may play is
through recitation. Aside from this, the students do memorize the lessons and
do written assignments at home. Their examination may be in oral recitation,
quizzes and major written exam. In here, students only develop “declarative
knowledge” where they do only memorize, identify, recite, describe, and classify
the knowledge inputted by the teachers
e. Discipline.
In 2019–20, student bullying and cyberbullying were among the most prevalent
discipline problems reported by public schools. Specifically, 15 percent of
public schools reported that bullying occurred among students at least once a
week. Sixteen percent of public schools reported that cyberbullying occurred
among students at least once a week. Student verbal abuse and other acts of
disrespect for teachers were also relatively common. Ten percent of public
schools reported student verbal abuse of teachers, and 15 percent reported
acts of student disrespect for teachers other than verbal abuse. In addition, 4
percent of public schools reported widespread disorder in the classroom and 4
percent reported student racial/ethnic tensions. Also, 2 percent each reported
sexual harassment of other students and harassment of other students based
on sexual orientation or gender identity.
2. Present your suggestions/proposal to address the challenges.
There should be reforms in teacher certification, hiring, distribution and

promotion of teachers. Continuing professional development should be made
available to teachers. Priority should be given to developing large pool of early
childhood educators
