Introduction

Education is a basic human right that works to raise men and women out of poverty, level
inequalities, and ensure sustainable development. Education is one of the most powerful tools in lifting
the life of children and adults out of poverty and is a  stepping stone to other fundamental human
rights. 61 million children do not have access to basic education and 758 million adults in the world are
illiterate because they have never got any education, according to the 2016 Global; Education
Monitoring Report.

Most of the problems in the Philippines’ education system stem from a lack of funding: low teacher
salaries, a shortage of classrooms, and a lack of facilities such as laboratories. Additionally, there is a lack
of educational equality between regions: government policy tends to favor schools near Manila, with
regions farthest from the capital (such as Mindanao) showing lower levels of student performance.

Despite these issues, the education system in the Philippines is still seen as one of the most developed in
Asia: rates of basic education completion, higher education participation, and adult literacy are
comparable to far more developed economies in Hong Kong, Singapore, and South Korea.
