CHAPTER 1
THE PROBLEM AND IT’S SETTING

INTRODUCTION

Research Guidelines for 2017-2018 Introduction: One of the key


strategies being pursued by the government to achieve inclusive growth
is improving access to quality education. Although considerable resources
have been allocated to education, there is still a need to ensure greater
access to education and the learning success of every Filipino learners.
Various education initiatives have been undertaken by the government to
improve the delivery of quality education. Both public and private schools
have actively engaged in the implementation of relevant policies and
programs despite the challenges they face. The prevailing issues and
concerns of the education sector point to the importance of research to
strengthen evidence-based planning, policy and program development, and
decision-making. Description: The Private Education Assistance Committee
(PEAC) has been engaged by the Department of Education (DepEd) to
implement the Junior High School (JHS) Education Service Contracting (ESC)
Program and the Teacher Salary Subsidy (TSS) and the Senior High School
(SHS) Voucher Program. One of the responsibilities of the PEAC is to
propose and conduct research and evaluation studies on the JHS ESC, TSS,
and SHS Voucher Programs as well as on priority education-related issues.
The Research and Innovation for Success in Education (RISE) is a mechanism
approved by PEAC to encourage the conduct of research on Philippine basic
education by higher educational institutions and private educational
associations with research capacity as well as research organizations
with a proven track record in particular fields so as to generate knowledge
on areas that affect Philippine basic education, particularly on the
education policies and programs that aim to improve access to quality
basic education. A Research Advisory Group is constituted by PEAC to
recommend priority research areas, review the guidelines, and evaluate
the proposals. The PEAC and DepEd approve the proposals for funding

Educational service contracting

1. Educational ServiceContractingAbraham Felipe

2. Dr. Abraham I. Felipe• an educator and social psychologist, is the


president of the Fund for Assistance to Private Education.

3. Scholarship• award of financial aid for a student to further education.


• awarded on various criteria usually reflecting the values and purposes
of the donor or founder of the award.

4. Types of Scholarships• Merit-based• Need-based• Student-specific

5. GASTPE (GovernmentAssistance to Student andTeachers in Private


Education) • The Government through the Education Service Contracting
(ESC) Scheme and the Tuition Fee Supplement (TFS) has entered into a
contract with the private schools in order to accommodate those who
otherwise will not be able to avail of free public secondary education.
As of January 15, 1999, the ESC has 374,918 student beneficiaries in 1,122
participating schools, while the TSF has 162,966 grantees in 638
participating schools.

6. What is ESC?• Unlike other scholarships, there is no grade requirement


other than the grade required to pass in the public schools.• It is just
like when a public school student in a private school setting.• It has
4 regular players: • Government- sponsor • Student-recipient • Public
School • Private school

7. Why the need for it?• Public Schools • Congestion • Quality • Not
being cost-effective• Private Schools • Liquidity problem

8. Congestion• During the Marcos era, the budget had been blamed for the
lagging infrastructure.• It was also during this time that public
secondary education was made free- thus, resulting in a surge in the
student population.

9. Quality• Studies of the NCEE confirmed that private schools were


academically far more superior. • They abolished the NCEE instead.
10. Liquidity of the Private Schools• The free scheme in the public
schools, made them vis a vis unable to compete with the public schools.

11. Solution• The private schools believed they can help in the congestion
and quality problem.• Public schools was more than willing to decongest
classrooms and to uplift quality.

12. STEPS1. Curriculum should be certified by the MECS.2. Public High


School Principal should certify that his/her school was overcrowded. The
applicant would “otherwise-have-been-admitted”3. Private schools must
accept the “otherwise- have-been-admitted” students without additional
qualifications. An applicant could only be refused admission if the
private schools is itself overcrowded.4. An applicant cannot be kicked
out. But can be retained.

13. Interegnum• Soon after the FAPE was designated to implement the ESC,
many problems surfaced, such as: • It was unacceptable to many principals.
The premium was on the size of school population. The bigger the school
was, the more senior principals were assigned there, such that it was a
post of prestige. • In due time the DECS took over the implementation.

14. • After three years, the program was returned to the FAPE, and it was
already different. • The recipients were of the following types: •
Endorsed by politicians • Endorsed by Education officials • Endorsed by
private school officials • Private school students, planning to drop out
because of the high tuition fees. • Walk-ins from public schools

15. At the Present• The present ESC is suited for a scholarship program.
• The GASTPE was implemented-it gave the private schools deregulation of
tuition fees.• Thus, tuitions substantially increased.

16. The Preferred Future1. No evidence that substantial support was given
by post- Marcos administrations. When the lions’ share was given to the
Education, most of it was for the salaries of teachers and State
Universities.2. From the way present recipients are now chosen, most do
not resemble the originally intended recipients of low socio economic
background.
STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
The objective of this study is to help students of North
Marie Montessori Academy to lessen their bills in this school
by means of lowering the payment in tuition fee,
miscellenious,books,etc.

In this topic,”The Significance of ESC to the live of


selected ESC Grantee Students of NMMA”this topic specially aims
not only in finance but this study aims the government to
support some students in NNMA to help ‘that’student to enter
in a better school and for ‘that’student to push their studies
harder now that the student know that he/she is being supported
not only their parents but also the government.

It also tackles the importance of the ESC in one student


that is ESC Guarantee of North Marie Montessori Academy.

1. What is the demographic profile respondents based on


1.1 Age
1.2 Gender
1.3 Grade

2. In one student,how important ESC is?


2.1 How does ‘that’student give importance to ESC?By doing
do or bad?
3. Do ESC Guarantees maintain their good record?
