Quality of Philippine

Education
Mrs. Kaylyn A. Corpuz
The quality of education in the country
was put under the spotlight in 2019
following the results of both local and
international assessments on students’
performance which highlighted the low
performance of Filipino learners.
Education Secretary Leonor Briones said that
the performance of Filipino students in large
scale assessment – which is the National
Achievement Test (NAT) – “gravitates towards
the low proficiency levels” especially in
Science, Math and English. NAT is administered
for Grade 6, Grade 10 and Grade 12 students.
 
Aside from NAT results, DepEd also
revealed the latest result of the
Programme for International Student
Assessment (PISA) of the Organisation
for Economic Co-operation and
Development (OECD where the Filipino
learners placed last among 79
participating countries and near last in
science and mathematics.
State of PH education in crisis?
 ForTeachers’ Dignity Coalition (TDC), the latest
PISA result was quite devastating – especially at a
time when the DepEd implements the biggest
education reform program: the K to 12.
 The Alliance of Concerned Teachers (ACT)
Philippines couldn’t agree more — noting that the
“poor education quality” is due to long-time
crises that remain unaddressed as well as the “ill-
prepared” implementation of the “faulty K to 12
program.”
Taking the first step
In response to the rapidly changing learning
environment of present and future learners, the
DepEd pushed through the “Sulong EduKalidad”
initiative.
As a rallying call for a national effort for quality
basic education, “Sulong EduKalidad” is set
to introduce “aggressive reforms” to globalize
the quality of basic education in the
Philippines.
KITE
1. Kto 12 curriculum review and update;
2. Improving the learning environment;
3. Teachers’ upskilling and reskilling; and
4. Engagement of stakeholders for
support and collaboration.
The KITE embodies both the
efforts of DepEd and the
dreams of the learners to fly
high through quality basic
education for all.
