What are disadvantages of K plus 12 in the Philippines?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

for my own opinion, one of disadvantages ng pagkakaroon ng K12 is dagdag problem 'to hindi lang para sa government, sa mga school staffs and personels especially teachers kundi pati na rin s mga magulang at lalong-lalo na sa mga mag-aaral. As we see, sa hirap ng buhay ngayon, hirap na hirap talagang magpaaral ang mga magulang sa mga anak nila sa sobrang hirap ng buhay ngyayon. Kaya nga maraming out-of-school youth dahil sa kakapusan sa financial, paano pa pag mas humaba yung taon ng pag-aaral.

Isa pa, kung ngayon nga na hindi pa napapatupad yung k 12 system ehh malaki na ang problema pagdating sa mga kagamitan, paaralan at budget para sa educaation, paano pa pag nadagdagan pa ng taon. Lalo pa't kung maraming humihinto sa pag-aaral kada taon, marami ding mga bata ang nag-eenrol every school year. Kung ngayon pa lang kapos na at hindi na kayang mgatugunan ng husto ang mga pangangailangan ng mga mag-aaral at ng mga guro paano pa pag may k12 system na.

Dagdag kaalaman nga ito para sa atin, pero sana isipin din muna yung pwedeng magng bad effect nito sa atin at sa ating kabuhayan .. :)

Current trends and issues in education?

The Use of the Internet and Social Media as a Teaching Tool All students these days know how to use a computer and the internet, and most of them are using social media networks to share their thoughts and to support each other. Educators these days know how to harness the power of the internet and social media to get in touch with their students, and hear their thoughts. How the Condition of Educational Facilities Affect PerformanceBasically the better the building's condition, the better the students and their teachers perform. There was a survey done with different schools in the US as subjects, they sought to find out just how much of an impact a school building's condition and facilities affect the students and teachers. Some results point out that better facilities led to less truancy, smoking, and substance abuse in the students. It was also determined that with better school buildings test scores rose up significantly. And even the behavior of the teachers and how well they instruct their students seem to increase along with improvements in the school. Students Teaching Teachers Students perform better when they have the opportunity to tell their teachers what things in the classroom needs improvement. Contrary to the old belief that students are too young to know what they need, K-12 education systems now give the students the opportunity to give pointers to their teachers on how they can better deliver their lessons so that the students can understand. It was also found that giving the students the chance in contributing and even revising the classroom rules actually make the students abide to them; it gives them the feeling that they actually have a say on what goes in the classroom. Students tend to follow the class rules now since they had a role in making the rules and regulations. Paying Close Attention to Each Students' Needs Educators are not looking at their class as a collective; they see them as different individuals with different needs, which is why some students lag behind the others when it comes to the lectures. Educators can help these students keep up by giving them personalized attention. These are just some of the recent trends in the K-12 education system. These are promising signs that show the educational system in the country is improving and no longer stagnant.

What are the common problems of cooperatives in the Philippines?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

At the turn of the century, Filipinos in increasing numbers travelled and studied abroad and brought home with them new ideas. It was this group of Filipinos who were in close in contact with the new economic movement in Europe.

Two names worthy of note were Dr. Jose P. Rizal and Teodoro Sandiko.

Rizal, after his side trip to Sandakan, Borneo in 1892, requested Governor Despudol that he and some relatives and friends be permitted to move to that place and found a colony under the cooperative plan of Robert Owen. Instead, he was arrested for treason and banished to Dapitan, Zamboanga del Norte.

In Dapitan, Rizal had his ideas in cooperation partially fulfilled. He put up a school for the poor community on a purely cooperative basis. He also established a cooperative store with the help of his pupils. One noteworthy group organized by Rizal was the Society of Abaca Producers. This functioned for only one year. Rizal returned the members' share capital without any loss.

Teodoro Sandiko, in his travels in Europe, must have had a close contact with the cooperative movement in Germany where he came across with the Raiffeisen movement. He was very much impressed by this type of cooperative and he looked forward for an opportunity to have it introduced to the Philippines. As destiny might have its choice, Sandiko had his chance when he was appointed one of the early governors when Civil Government, under the Americans, was established.

What are the Causes of theft in the Philippines?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

One can likely list a hundred causes of theft or say reasons why theft is rampant in most places on Earth. For the sake of the one who posted the question, i will not question why Philippines was singled out and mentioned specifically. I dont like to revise the question only because I am from the Philippines. I wont retort on that. Only, i would like to answer in a general perspective as per my opinion.

Since time immemorial, theft has been existent. In my own words, theft is dishonestly taking ones belonging whether it be large scale or just small scale. I have the thought that what drives a man to thieve is his discontentment. Greed makes man steal. He can not find contentment that he will do every means to satisfy his craving to the extent of denying others the right to own.

And for the purpose of answering the question, here is my list.

1. POVERTY. I believe that poverty may cause all evil in the world. A man who has nothing to eat can think of all the modi operandi to feed his growling stomach. Without mentioning any particular study, it is known that crime rate is higher in depressed areas. Some would consider snatching, robbery, theft as their way to earn a living i.e there occupation

2. LACK OF EDUCATION. Lack of Education plays a vital role in theft. Without proper education, man will likely develop the habit of stealing. It is thru education that we establish the difference between right and wrong.

3. WEAK MORAL FIBER. Thieves have weak moral fiber. They are not afraid to do wicked things because they do not fear the Lord.

4. INEFFECTIVE LAWS. The laws enforced may be too lax that thieves are not afraid to be imprisoned thinking that they can bail out and be free again and do the stealing more frequently than ever. Law enforcers are outnumbered by lawless elements and are sometimes the reasons of theft and protectors as well

5. SICKNESS. As a contradiction to poverty leading the way to theft, even rich people steal. Wealthy people more likely has the nerve to steal lump sums and has the capacity to steal in a larger scale. Why do Hollywood stars shoplift?

Thank you though for letting me answer the question.. HEHEHE

What is the legal basis for teaching health education in the Philippines?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Education in the Philippines changed radically, and was before patterned from both of educational systems of Spain and the United States. However, after the liberation of the Philippines in 1946, Filipinos then had moved in various directions of its own.

Elementary and high school education is compulsory, and is administered nationally by the Department of Education, along with the assurance of funding for school services and equipments, recruitment of teachers for all public schools, and the supervising and organization of the education curricula.

Based on the current education system of the Philippines, students should enter elementary schools at the age of 6 or 7, and for a duration of 6 years. Then, at the age of 12 or 13, students then enter high schools for a duration 4 years, with a total of 10 years of compulsory education.

However, recently, the Department of Education proposed the K-12[3] education system, along with the new curriculum for all students (see its section below).

All public and private elementary schools, high schools and colleges and universities in the Philippines start classes from early-June to mid-June and end from mid-March to early-April.
