essential as the ships of the navy”..., avoiding the use of the passive voice of the verb in

"Education and Training is as Essential as the Ships of the Navy”

Dr. Seuss once said, " the more that you read, the more things you will know,

and the more that you learn, the more places you'll go". Education is the systematic

process of learning something with a goal of acquiring knowledge, training on the other

hand is the process of learning something with a goal of performing a specific skill or

behavior. Education and training provide knowledge and skills of workers needed to do

their work safely to avoid creating hazards that could place themselves or others at risk,

and make them aware and understand of workplace hazards and how to identify, report,

and control them.

In particular, education and training of naval personnel is a vital in doing their

assigned duties and responsibilities as well as for their career growth. This will ensure

them to fulfil their mission and vision as navy personnel.

On the other hand, the Armed Forces of the Philippines in continuing its efforts to

modernized its units, giving equal importance to maritime and air assets. The Philippine

Navy has remained in high spirits in terms of developing its capabilities. They will be

provided with warships, amphibious assault vehicles (for Philippine Marines), naval

helicopters, multi-purpose attack craft, and additional base support facilities. With these

additional essential and highly-technical ships, our being well-equipped as we face

adversaries in our territorial defense, counter-insurgency efforts, including humanitarian

response. Enhancing our capabilities in terms of equipment and assets gives us the

motivation and preparedness to overcome these challenges.

However, being well-equipped must also come hand in hand with being well-

skilled to operate and maintain these resources. Hence, as we upgrade our capabilities

in terms of ships, we must also upgrade our human capabilities through education and

training.

To meet the human performance needs of naval operations in an increasingly

technology-intensive environment, the Philippine Navy should consider the following:

First, increase significantly the proportion of naval force officers who obtain bachelor's

degrees in science, mathematics, or engineering. Second, ensure time in the career

paths of all officers who are capable of and motivated to invest the considerable effort

required for postgraduate study in science and technology by establishing joint

programs with research-based academic institutions. Lastly, place a priority on ensuring

a continuing stream of fresh young talent employed in naval laboratories. Those who

are retained in a larger career path should have regular opportunities to refresh their

talents. Continuous education and training as well as programs provided by the Navy to

provide career-long enhancement of the abilities of naval personnel.

The time to devote resources to obtaining education and training is when the

nation is at peace. It is self-evident that there is no time for education and training

during wartime. Let us prepare our naval personnel with tantamount knowledge and

skills to confidently sail their ships with pride and honor.
