STATUS REPORT AND UPDATES

ERICO MEMIJE HABIJAN, Dep. Ed, NEAP

Maari bang, maari bang umusog-usog ng konti Hati-hati dahil masyadong masikip ang upuan

At kung iyong kausapin, ako nama'y hindi maselan At payag matabihan, umusog lang, umusog ng konti.

Maari bang, maari bang umusog-usog ng konti Madadaan sa usapan ang maaring pag-awayan

Sakali mang mayron kang napapansin, sabihin lang At kung makatuwiran ako'y uusog din kahit konti.

KAHIT KONTI ni Florante

Hindi naman buong-buo ang hinihiling ko sa iyo Ngunit kahit kapiraso mano’y magkasundo tayo

Iba't iba ang katuwiran ng tao sa lipunan Ngunit ang kailangan lang tayo'y huwag

magtulakan. O kayraming suliranin, oras-oras dumarating

Dahil ‘di kayang lutasin hindi na rin pinapansin Subalit kung tutuusin, iisa ang dahilan

Kaibigan, ayaw nilang umusog ng kahit konti

Hindi naman buong-buo ... O kayraming suliranin ......

At kung iyong kausapin, ako nama’y hindi maselan

At payag matabihan umusog lang kahit konti.

THE METAPHYSICS of the song

All lines intersect at a certain point.(ang mga linya ay nagkakasalubong sa iisang tuldok)

FROM FRANCISCO BALAGTAS BALTAZAR’s

Florante at Laura

“DATAPWAT SINO ANG TATAROK KAYA,

SA MAHAL MONG LIHIM DIYOS NA DAKILA,

WALANG MANGYAYARI SA BALAT NG LUPA

DI MAY KAGALINGAN, IYONG NINANASA

“kung ang isalubong sa iyong pagdating

ay masayang mukha’t may pakitang giliw,

. . . lalong paka-ingata’t kaaway na lihim

. . . siyang isaisip na kakabakahin”

“Sa taguring bunso’t likong pagmamahal, ang

isinasama ng batang nunukal,

ang iba’y marahil sa kapabayaan,

ng dapat magturong TAMAD na

MAGULANG”

 “Ang laki sa layaw karaniway hubad, sa bait

at muni sa hatol ay salat, masaklap na

bunga ng maling paglingap, habag ng

MAGULANG sa irog na anak.”

THE ANSWER ?!… THE SOLUTION?!

THE REASON(S)

Rizal’s El Filibusterismo: (Padre Florentino & Isagani)

“Mabuti pa ang mga bilanggo at inuusig ang uri ng pagkain. Ngunit ang kapakanan ng kabataang pag-asa ng bayan walang

itinatawag na subasta. Sa halip ay dinaragdagan ng kapangyarihan ang ayaw magpaturo ng ano mang pagsulong.”

“Ang kalayaan ay katutubo sa tao. At kaakibat ng talino ang karunungan. Ang iba sa inyong nagkakait na kami ay dumunong

ay siyang ugat ng aming kawalan ng kasiyahan”

“Kung ano kami ngayon ay kayo ang may gawa. Ang bayang inaalipin ay natututong magkunwari; ang di ipinakikilala sa

katotohanan ay nagiging sinungaling; ang mapaghari ay lumilikha ng mga alipin.”

Educational Philosophy of Rizal – A. Ocampo

Rizal’s concept of the importance of education is clearly enunciated in his work entitled “Instruction” wherein he sought improvements in the schools and in the methods of teaching.

He maintained that the backwardness of his country during the Spanish era was not due to the Filipinos’ indifference,

apathy or indolence as claimed by the rulers, but to the neglect of the Spanish authorities in the islands. For Rizal, the

mission of education is to elevate the country to the highest seat of glory and to develop the people’s mentality. Since

education is the foundation of society and a prerequisite for social progress, Rizal claimed that only through education

could the country be saved from domination. 

Rizal’s philosophy of education, therefore, centers on the provision of proper

motivation in order to bolster the great social forces that make education a

success, to create in the youth an innate desire to cultivate his intelligence and give

him life eternal.

Let’s consider the following:

Plato’s Republic 2 – 3: (Soc and Adei)“Then what is this education? Or is it difficult to

invent one any better than that w/c long ages have evolved? In other words, GYMNASTICS for

the body and MUSIC for the mind”“Indeed it is.”

“Then shall we begin w/ music before gymnastics?”

“Naturally.”

“And do you regard words as part of music or not?”“I do.”

“And there are two kinds of words, the true and the false?”“Yes.”

“EDUCATION is both kinds, but first in the false”“I don’t understand what you mean.”

“Don’t you understand that we first of all tell children fables? Now these are, taken over all, falsehood, though

there are true things in them. And we give children fables before we give them physical exercises.”

“That’s true.”“Well, that’s what I meant by saying that we must tackle

music before gymnastics.”

WHERE ARE

WE NOW?

THESTATUS

* Insufficient mastery of basic competencies

due to congested curriculum

(the poor quality of basic education is reflected in the low achievement

scores of Filipino students)

* High school graduates (18 years old) - lack of

basic competencies and maturity

(reflected in the inadequate preparation of HS graduates for the world of work or entrepreneurship

or higher education)

*Our graduates are not automatically

recognized as professional abroad

*The short basic education program affects the human

development of the Filipino children

•Other countries view the 10 – year education cycle as insufficient

•The Philippines is the only remaining country in Asia with a 10 – years basic education

program

WHY ADD TWO YEARS?

WHY K to 12? •Global Competitiveness

•Economic Advantage•Social advantage•Address the poor

performance of students

REPORMA dahil may PROBLEMA?

“we need to add two years to our basic education. Those who

can afford pay up to fourteen years of schooling before

university. Thus, their children are getting into the best

universities and the best jobs after graduation. I want at least

12 years for our public schoolchildren to give them an

even chance of succeeding”

WHY ADD TWO YEARS?

•Decongest and enhance the basic

education curriculum•Better quality

education •Minus 2 instead of

plus 2

THE DOGMA OF K TO 12- the proposal to

expand the basic education dates back to 1925.- this is not new, it has

been a part of the studies since 1925; the only problem

is …

NO POLITICAL WILL to do it.

Some studies:

*Monroe Survey 1925*UNESCO Mission

Survey (1949) *Education Act of 1953

*Swanson Survey (1960)

*Presidential Commission to Survey on Education Phil. Education (PCSPE, 1970)

*Congressional commission on Education (EDCOM) Report

(1991)*Presidential Commission on Educational Reforms (2000)*Philippine Education for All2015 National Action Plan *Presidential Task Force on

Education (2008)

“We have different gifts, according to the

grace given us.

If a man’s gift is prophesying, let him use it in proportion to his faith.

If it is serving, let him serve; if it is teaching, let him teach.

If it is encouraging, let him encourage;

If it is contributing to the needs of others, let him give generously;

If it is leadership, let him govern diligently;

If it is showing mercy, let him do it

cheerfully.”

Romans 12:6 - 10

“Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it.”

Proverbs 22:6

Important NOTATIONS:*Studies in the Philippines have shown that an additional year of schooling increases earnings by 7.5%.*Studies validate that improvements in the “quality of education” will increase GDP growth by 2% to 2.2%

WHAT WILL THE SOCIETY GAIN FROM K TO 12?

*It will facilitate an accelerated economic growth.*It will facilitate mutual recognition of Filipino graduates and professionals in other countries.*A better educated society provides a sound foundation for long – term socio-economic development.

(Studies in the UK, India and US show that additional years of schooling also have positive overall impact on society)

“school opened last Monday, a thing I have learned over the years to look upon with more dread than anticipation. Since I started writing this column (20 years) , things have gotten from bad to worse. That’s the part where you really mind corruption. It is the textbooks that should have been there but are not, the classrooms that should have been there but are not, the dedicated teachers that should have been there but are not. Courtesy of the public officials who own big houses, drive a fleet of cars, and eat in posh restaurants, who should not there but are.”

Let’ reflect on the article of Mr. Conrado De Quiros, PDI, last 8 June,

2011, “There’s The Rub

“The point is to re-imagine the classroom, pedagogy or teaching methods, and the teacher himself. Why should we be limited to the physical classroom unto itself with no lack of lessons and the ways of teaching them? Right now, we’re stuck with an educational system whose quality has become the laughing stock of the world, posing a future of joblessness for most graduates. The box has closed in and become a veritable cell. There is only way to go: OUT OF IT.

I’ll Do it For YouB. Adams

Look into my eyes - you will see

What you mean to me

Search your heart - search your soul

And when you find me there you'll search no more

Don't tell me it's not worth tryin' for

You can't tell me it's not worth dyin' for

You know it's true

Everything I do - I do it for you

Look into your heart - you will find

There's nothin' there to hide

Take me as I am - take my life

I would give it all - I would sacrifice

Don't tell me it's not worth fightin' for

I can't help it - there's nothin' I want more

Ya know it's true

Everything I do - I do it

for you

There's no love - like your love

And no other - could

give more love

There's nowhere - unless you're there

All the time - all the

way

Oh - you can't tell me it's not worth tryin' for

I can't help it - there's nothin' I want more

I would fight for you - I'd lie for you

Walk the wire for you - ya I'd die for you

Ya know it's true Everything I do - I do it for you

MARAMI PONG SALAMAT!!!
