The Problem

Education is an important means by which an organized society achieves stability and prosperity.

Our own Congressional Commission on Education (EDCOM) has recognized the crucial importance of Education when it stated in the preface to the official EDCOM report: “Education is essential to our life as a nation. This is the truism that bears endless repetition.” And professional educators know very well that the word “Learning” implies both teaching and learning. The Philippine Educational System was before patterned from both Educational Systems of Spain and United States of America. But as the time goes by, different technologies spawned. The Department of Education proposed a new educational system, along with that the new curriculum for all students. This will be the answer for the demand for manpower that will help the country’s development. The end goal of Philippine Education is to produce Filipinos who respect human rights, whose personal disciplines are guided by spiritual and moral values and who can exercise responsively their rights and duties as citizens.
