Lack of Education in the Philippines

The Issue

The Philippines or what they call Asia's pearl of the orient is known for the richness of the culture, delicious food and beautiful landscape. Like the other country, philippines is currently facing many problems that is need to be resolved as soon as possible the example are Starvation, Unemployment, Inflation and one of the main problem that philippine is going through right now is the lack of the education. According to the Department of Education and the National Statistical Coordination Board in the Philippines, one out of every six Filipino children would not attend school. Furthermore, just 7 out of every 10 children will complete elementary school. Only four of those seven children will graduate from high school, and only one will go on to university. One of the main reasons for the lack of education in the country is the financial status of the children. Unlike the family that is able to support their children to go to school, people in the lower class are unable to provide the education that the children need. Instead of using the money for the transportation of the student and for the school supplies they
use the money on food and other necessities so they can survive.


To address the absence of education in the Philippines, I intend to first assist families that are unable to offer education for their children. Money is one of the reasons why youngsters cannot attend school. Money is necessary for education. Children are unable to pursue an education due to a lack of resources. By assisting them with what they require, the children will
be able to acquire knowledge and develop that is needed in life. Second is to build more schools.for the people who live in rural areas. Because of the shortages of schools in rural areas, some people are forced to travel far from home, and others choose to discontinue their education due to the cost and time required to attend school. By constructing additional schools,
education will become much more accessible, and everyone will have the opportunity to acquire education that can help them in the future.
