LEARNING ACTIVITY 3
Assignment 3 – Questions to ponder on.

1. Based on the top ten global issues and the 17 SDGs, choose one global
issue/SDG and give suggestions on what schools must do to address the issue.
 Gender Equality: Gender-neutral education, the expansion of equality
laws, and a more equitable representation of women are all examples of
gender equality.
The Schools Should:
 Make sure that gender stereotypes don't show up in educational
materials.
 Professions that have been thought of as only for one gender, like a
female construction worker or soldier and a male secretary or nurse,
should be changed.
 Use gender-neutral pronouns like "everyone" instead of the phrase
"men," which may make female students feel like they aren't welcome.
 Do not use gender stereotypes like "boys don't cry" or "girls don't
fight." These kinds of stereotypes make it hard for people to understand
how gender roles work in real life.
 Point out that words like "you play like a lady" or "man up" have gender
connotations, and help people come up with better words.
 Separate lines for boys and girls, separate sports, and mixed seating in
the classroom are all things to stay away from.
 Make sure that any teaching materials you use show both men and
women in the same number of places.
 Boys and girls can work on projects together.
In many cultures, gender roles and ideas are different. Through awareness
activities, historical events, laws, and cultural changes, help students see
when they are being discriminated against because of their gender.

2. What moves has the Philippine government taken to ensure equitable access to
education for all its citizens?

Over the years, the Philippines government has spent a lot more money on
education, made structural changes in both basic and higher education, and
forged closer ties with the private sector and industry.
De Vera said that RA 10931 has extended the Tertiary Education Subsidy to
make sure that all poor students can go to college.
Additional funds have been set aside for 300,000 low-income students. The
children of the 4Ps get the most attention. Students who can go to private
schools because they live in municipalities or cities that don't have public
universities are given second place. The third priority, as other papers show,
is for all the poor students.
Afterwards, De Vera said that CHED has more programs through which
everyone in the Philippines can get an education. They include Ladderized
Education, Expanded Tertiary Education Equivalency and Accreditation, Free
Medical Education, Payapa at Maganang Pamayanan, and other programs that
help people who can't pay for school.
In the Philippines, the Constitution of 1987 says that everyone has the right
to get an education, especially basic education. As a result, most government
education policies and programs have focused on making sure everyone can
go to school. The Philippines wants to make sure that everyone can go to
school, as stated in the World Declaration on Education for All (WDEFA) and
the second Millennium Development Goal (MDG).
3. Poverty is ranked #4 among the top 10 issues cited by World Economic Forum’s
Global Shapers Survey in 2017. Education is supposed to liberate people from
poverty. The Philippines has a comparatively higher literacy rate. Based on the
Literacy Statistics, Functional Literacy, Education and Mass Media Survey
(FLEMMS) of 2013, 96.5 percent of Filipinos were literate, an improvement from
95.6 percent in 2008. How come the Philippines has one of the highest number
of educated people and yet we remain to be “islands of affluence amidst a sea of
poverty" meaning poverty abounds? "Can this be traced to poor quality of
Philippine education? Why or why not?

It doesn't matter how skilled or how well-educated you are if you live in a
poor country like the Philippines. The percentage of Filipinos living in poverty
is much higher than in other ASEAN countries.
The reasons why the Philippines has been poor for so long are many
and different. It can be traced back to the devastation and chaos caused by
World War II, but the policies of Presidents Ramon Magsaysay, Ferdinand
Marcos, and Gloria Arroyo did little to help the poorest Filipinos and made the
wealth gap even bigger.
In the Philippines, the economy is growing, but the poorest people aren't
getting any of it. Some of this can be blamed on how quickly the country has
grown in population. To put it another way, there isn't enough money in the
country to lift enough people out of poverty. A 32 percent income tax rate is
hard on people who make very little money to begin with.
As a result, people can't move up the social ladder and the country doesn't
grow richer. Power is concentrated in the hands of powerful families and
people with close ties, leaving the poor with few chances to improve their lives
or start businesses.
