What is the Status of the Philippine Educational System?
The Philippine academe is purportedly to build a nation. However, the Philippine educational setting has been replete with scandals, with misconduct, with unethical values. Newspapers, television programs and other media report of school principals sexually harassing students. Teachers bang the heads of students and pupils against the wall. Quality of education has been deteriorating as reported by researchers and surveys. Recently, the world has been shocked with the leakage in the 2006 Nursing Board Examination. The grave dishonesty committed even by some review centers in the Philippines has died down the admiration of foreign countries that had been the market of our nurses. Parents and the community have shown their distrust and mistrust in the teaching professionals. Now, there is a negative stigma in the Philippine academe.
