1. Describe the structure and organizational system of our basic education.
ReplyDeleteAccording to the Philippine Curriculum, the basic education in the Philippines is free and compulsory at the elementary level. The basic education in the Philippines composed of six years in elementary and seven years on some selected schools (Ages 6-12/13) and four years in secondary education (Ages 13-16/17). Normally, Filipinos complete their basic education at age 16-17. After graduating, they can continue to a higher learning either college degree or vocational certificate which may enter for two to five years. School starts in June and ends in March. Class sessions for elementary and high school are held Monday to Friday and divided into four grading periods. The language of instruction is a bilingual policy where students and teachers use both Filipino and English. The teachers interpreted the implemented curriculum provided by the Department of Education. Schools are encouraged to innovate and adapt as long as they met the basic education curriculum.
2. What is your opinion on the move of adding 2 more years to our basic educational system?
I approve on the move of adding two more years to our basic educational system because it increases the credibility of our education not that it is not credible. It will also improve the literacy rate of our country. With the additional of two more years, different lessons can also be added to it. We can maximize the lesson since there is enough time. Students will be able to graduate at age 18 which is the right age to work. Let’s admit that not all of us can afford the tertiary education so having the K-12 program helps to acquire the basic knowledge needed for working. However, if it is implemented the government should provide more funds to our educational system since parents might not be able to provide financial assistance to it

Philippine education compared to Japanese education. Both educational system offers kindergarten as a first step in learning. Preschools are also given but not an official part of educational system. These two educational systems provide six years of learning in elementary while they differ in secondary education. Philippines offers four years in high school while Japan is divided in into two levels. First is the lower secondary level covers grade seven, eight and nine whereas the upper secondary level includes grade ten, eleven and twelve which provides academic, technical and vocational programs. In order to enter the tertiary education both needed to take a national entrance test and the university test they wish to apply. In Japan, public schools have the most prestige unlike here in the Philippines whereas the private schools dominate the education. Japanese education relies heavily in examination because they believe that if they will beable to pass or to do well then it will get you into best schools then eventually into a good life-time job. Japanese education gives more emphasis to their language while here in the Philippines uses bilingual policy.
4. How can you be a global teacher
In order to become a global teacher you have to be aware of different factors such race, ethnicity, religion, languages, economic status and even the family background. These factors will help you in dealing this situation. Teachers must remember that they still need to provide equal opportunities to learn and perform in school not only in curricular area but the extra-curricular as well. They should also help in developing the social skills of the students since it is needed for interaction. Teachers should also help the students in understanding the diversity of the society to lessen or completely remove discrimination and out casting.
1. Education in the Philippines covers a wide curriculum. In the grade school the major subjects include Mathematics, Sciences, English, Filipino and Makabayan (Social Studies, Livelihood Education, and Values). Other subjects include Music, Arts, and Physical Education. While in the secondary school or commonly known as “high school” consists of four levels largely based on the American schooling system as it was until the advent of the comprehensive high schools in the US in the middle of last century. The Philippine high school system has not moved much from where it was when the Philippines achieved independence from the US in 1946. It still consists of only four levels with each level partially compartmentalized, focusing on a particular theme or content.
ReplyDelete2. In my opinion, adding of two more years in basic education would further enhance and develop the students in order for them to be well-prepared to face their future work place. It will also help raise the country to produce graduates ready to be employed even without a college degree. According to the DepEd plan, K-12 students can choose an area of specialization in the final two years, whether it will be in the performing arts, vocational training, sports, agriculture, among others. In addition, this program will uplift the quality of education in our country because newly graduates can be easily employed because this program aims to meet the standards required for professionals who would want to work abroad.
3. In Japan education is compulsory at the elementary and lower secondary levels. Approximately 98% of all students progress to the upper secondary level, which is voluntary. Most students attend public schools through the lower secondary level, but private education is popular at the upper secondary and university levels. Their school system today is six years of elementary school, three years of junior high school, three years of high school, two or four years of university. Education prior to elementary school is provided at kindergartens and day-care centers. Public and private day-care centers take children from under age one on up to five years old. The programs for those children aged 3–5 resemble those at kindergartens. While in our country, Filipino children may enter preschool at the ages of three to four, starting from nursery, and kindergarten. At the ages of six to seven, children enter elementary school for six or seven (on selected schools) years. This is followed by the high school, for four years. Students may then enter tertiary schools for two to five years.
4. To be a global teacher is someone who thinks and acts locally and globally, meaning he/she embraces different cultures and understands how world is interconnected. He/she should have professional and personal skills to be able to fully teach his/her students well in their class, school and even community. A global teacher should also be able to inspire other to act or to be a global teacher.

ReplyDeleteEducation in the Philippines has undergone several stages of development from the pre-Spanish times to the present. In meeting the needs of the society, education serves as focus of emphases/priorities of the leadership at certain periods/epochs in our national struggle as a race.As early as in pre-Magellanic times, education was informal, unstructured, and devoid of methods. Children were provided more vocational training and less academics (3 Rs) by their parents and in the houses of tribal tutors. At present, the Department operates with four Undersecretaries in the areas of: (1) Programs and Projects; (2) Regional Operations; (3) Finance and Administration; and (4) Legal Affairs; four Assistant Secretaries in the areas of: (1) Programs and Projects; (2) Planning and Development; (3) Budget and Financial Affairs; and (4) Legal Affairs.

The truth is there are already many problems at the current 10-year curriculum and it has nothing to do with number of years. to enumerate a few – there are not enough qualified teachers to teach all the students; that is made worst with just too many students; there are not enough classrooms and schools to comfortably fit all the students 。There are not enough books; add the problem of poor quality books, on top of that there are not enough facilities and finally very high drop out rates.
This plan of the DepEd to add two more years will of course not solve any of the above problems. In fact, it will only extend all those problems by two more years. A longer basic education will also mean even higher drop out rates. Then there is the problem of additional expenses for the government. As of now, with the 10 year curriculum, there is already desperate lack of classrooms and schools. the public schools cannot turn the students away when they show up to enroll. to cope many public schools have crammed as many students as they can inside the classroom with classrooms crammed with chairs from wall to wall.. Therefore I disagree with the K to 12 the new education system because for me it is not the solution and we are not yet ready for a new education system for now.

The Philippines issuing a bilingual medium of instruction. Certain subjects are taught in English and the rest in the national language which is Filipino. The formal education is a sequential progression of academic schooling at three levels, namely, elementary, secondary and tertiary or higher education.
