The Philippines is considered to be one of the 3rd world countries to day, which means we are still thriving to reach the economic success other countries today are enjoying. In my other classes, like in communication values and ethics, sociology and economics, we keep on discussing how communication is important in stabilizing an economy and how other factors and agencies in the country tend to have a domino effect if ever one factor is not serving it's purpose.
Like in the problem (photo) stated, there's a cycle when one problem arises, another one will surely follow.. I would like to concentrate on one problem in the cycle - Poor Education.
For me, this triggers the cycle, for someone to have a poor foundation is being stupor in life, this may cause a high birth rate and so the cycle goes. In the Philippines, one of the major problems is poor education, before, the country used to produce students who were well-rounded and ready for the challenges of the real world. Today, for every 10 children who start their primary education, only 6 go on to continue with their secondary education, and 4 will manage to enter college. What happened? I think no one knows why.
The government has been trying to solve this issue for years now and up until now it is still not resolved.They say that it's because of the low salary public teachers receive, others point their fingers on the high tuition fees, and others say that there's a "mismatch" where the things being taught in schools aren't really what's happening in the "real world". But with these problems being brought up and discussed, there's still the problem of low and poor educational rate in our country, what did really happen? it's kinda sad that other countries used to send their students to the Philippines to learn, now they've overtaken us and are the experts.
Like what I said, our country is still on it's knees trying to find it's way to stand up, of course we are here to just support and put our trust in our leaders *gee I can't believe I said that* and hopefully we will be finally one of those countries who has a stable economy and really globally competitive.
