In order to achieve quality education for all, the government should step up when it comes to “relevant” reforms that are not only focused on globalization but on building proactive educational programs that will ensure the welfare of Filipino learners and teachers.
Teachers’ Dignity Coalition noted that the government, particularly the Department of Education , should focus on implementing policies that will take into consideration the inputs of teachers.
“The desire for ‘global competitiveness’ has led to the success of education being measured on numerical results instead of actual learning, leading to students’ self-worth rising and falling based on their school performance,” said John Lazaro of SPARK. For TDC, the result of the 2018 PISA is “surprising” since DepEd has been implementing various programs and policies that are geared towards improving the quality of education on the country. “Ang K to 12 program na layuning ipantay sa pandaigdigang pamantayan ang sistema ng ating edukasyon pero bakit ganito ang resulta? ,” he added.
Given this, TDC challenged the leadership of DepEd to implement its suggested reforms. For Basas, DepEd’s move to join the PISA would be put to waste if the DepEd will remain “blind” on the real education challenges on the ground.Meanwhile, SPARK urged the government to stop “experimenting” with the education system because it is the Filipino learners who will continue to suffer from the reforms and policies it implements.
