Education and Typical Public School

A nonher problem pestering the quality of Filipino upbringing is the quality and proficiency of the watchers. According to a recent obligate (Gerochi, 2002), Filipino instructors lack proficiency in English, Science and Mathematics. some(prenominal) tell that these areas should view as been trained comprehensively since as teachers, they should be able to teach the educatees with a more quality for future growth. But with what I see, the teachers have problems of their own. One example, and the most obvious, is the low salary and terrible working condition.Many habitual school teachers opt to have sidelines during class that some fourth dimensions the teacher simply forgets to teach. But who butt joint blame them if their salaries of around 8000-10,000 pesos, plus deductible, who back end a teacher provide for his/her family? And with the rising cost of living, these figures are not enough. Others cannot teach well in class because of the ratio of students to a teacher. I n a typical public school, in any one teacher there are 50-60 students in a class The school facilities can also be a factor of the problem.The Philippines, both in common soldier and public, lacks sophisticated laboratories and facilities to cater the needs of the students. For example, many public schools are understood lacking the basic calculator laboratories and it is so ironic that computer nowadays, computer education is crucial for future Computer Studies student. Without proper training in computer, how can a student be competitive and computer literate? Jose Rizal reminds us how modern and latest technologies are important in a students development in his novel El Filibusterismo. resembling in the novel, the laboratory equipment are stored shut in a cabinet and neer to be used in class because of the insufficient fare of equipment. And when it is shown in class, it is presented like a monstrance of a priest And sibylline as it seems, Rizals time is happening every over once again in our contemporary times. Lastly, a common problem of our Philippine education is the rising cost of sending a baby bird to school. Private schools charges skyrocketing reading and miscellaneous fees to a student that parents are having a hard time to cope with the rising cost of education.Even sending a child in a public school doesnt fare demote since even the poorest of the poor cannot afford to send a child in school. I record vividly a story of a public school teacher with a pupil of him. He said that this student was so poor that teachers pay for everything so she can go to school. The teachers get int mind this sacrifice because the student is so bright and intelligent. She never went to college after high school since she cannot really afford it anymore. What saddened the teachers is that this student passed UP but with no scholarship.Right now, many see education not as necessity but a luxury they cannot afford (Reyes, 2002). The bow of Philippine e ducation is indeed sad and disheartening. We probably are all asking whos to blame for all this mess. But we cannot simply spot finger since we all have responsibilities to solve these problem. The government tries its best to break away the country and it seemed not enough. But we should not blame the government entirely since it is just not the governments problems. It is the problem of each and every one of us. If we want the highest quality of education in the country, we should work unneurotic to solve this problem.As a teacher, these problems will be a monolithic cross to bear. But if I can help solve this problem in my own little way, the cross can be lightness and easier to bear. This is the bitter cup of a teacher to bear. But we must remember that the teacher and every one of us will determine the traverse of our countrys development through education. Even Rizal said that for a country to progress, education is the key to that success. Solving the problems of Phili ppine education is a long way to go but if we work for the better, we can pull ahead that quality education we all hope for the best.
