The system of education in the Philippines was patterned both from the education systems of Spain and United States. However, after the liberation of the Philippines in 1946, the system has changed radically and move at its own (Isidro 2003). Education is defined as preparation for effective participation in social relations. Sociologically speaking, education is the consciously controlled process whereby changes in behavior are produced in the person and through the person in the group. It is clear that education is a major factor in economic growth. A study made in Brazil showed that one additional year of average education per person in the labor force increased output by about 20%. Females are highly presented in all the three levels of education. The rates of failures, dropouts, and repetition are higher for males than females. Female graduates also outnumber males. The reasons cited for the above are: daughters receive more education but less land than sons, these are more opportunities for employment for males in the agricultural sector, parents rely more on their daughters to study diligently, keep stable jobs, and provide support in their retirement age. Education may be formal or informal. Informal education is learning through interaction with others in the group. Ideas and facts are acquired through suggestion, observation, example, imitation and inculcation from the family, play group, neighborhood or occupational group. Books, newspapers, magazines, radio, films and television are important instruments through which information and attitudes are acquired or learned. Non-formal education consists of sets of definite learning goals and objectives generally making use of a more flexible curriculum, less rigid admission procedures and more participative teaching methods. Non-formal education is not covered by the traditional school system. It usually runs in short durations and in many instances, seeks only to teach the student a
