12-year education cycle

To help reverse the decline in the quality of Philippine education, the incoming Aquino administration is mulling adding two more years to the country's basic education cycle--an additional year in elementary and another year in high school.


Why are we trying to complicate the problem? Prolonging the cycle may not really address the issue. The crisis is, children are not learning, and children are dropping out. So, I think we should focus all our resources on enabling all the children to complete grade 6, math and reading and be good citizens," says Milwida Guevarra, president and CEO of Synergeia Foundation.



the problem is really about the quality of the system. the Philippines is only one of two nations in the world to have a six-year school cycle in elementary and four in high school.
“We’re not proposing something different, we’re proposing to catch up with the rest of the world. It’s a quality thing,”



I really feel sorry for the next generation! Giving them two more school year will further stagnate their learning from the same old style of system of education the Philippines had.
All these technocrats and bankers want are profit, not a quality and high-standard learning for the youngters. I think we need an education revolution, to upgrade our learning system to the 20th century standards. Just like here in State of Qatar, everything is based on computers, the reading materials are all recorded in a DVD, all the books and the libraries are in a database, you just click on the subject and presto, students learn and see the answers in front of the screen. By this way, all the students learn the basics of computers as well as finding it easy to learn their subjects at the click of their hands. Now the question is, can the Philippines do it? Not with the technocrats and bankers on tow. Maybe after another 20 centuries.
