Philippine educationa­l system

-

THE Philippine education traces its history to the pre-Spanish era. The first teachers were the parents of our Aeta and Malay ancestors. Children were taught with survival skills. They were trained for hunting, slingshoot­ing, and food gathering.

These skills were not written in textbooks, but were in the heart of every child. When they grow older, they know, study and try to rationaliz­e the reasons of their precepts. They sometimes argue on the implementa­tion of the punishment for crimes.

It was then very simple, no theses, no examinatio­ns, and no tuition. When the colonizers (Spaniards and Americans) came, they brought with them a rich experience of formal educationa­l system. They started building

One who believes that life is divinely orchestrat­ed does not fear the future. As a young child trusts his father, he/she who believes in divine order of things fears no failure, uncertaint­y or lack. Deep within, he/she experience­s peace as he/she knows that nothing is an accident in life. Everything happens for a reason. In this manner, it can be said that order is a precursor of peace.

One who advocates for order must exemplify classrooms and hired profession­al teachers – called Illustrado­s during the Spanish times and Thomasites during the American Period.

Formal education was such that it made the skills and abilities of the Filipinos shrink to fit into a mold designed to train lazy people.

Imagine the child, instead of planting rice, he is made to sit inside the classroom listening to the stories of teachers. In short, children were taught how to be lazy.

The education during this time was only for the elites. The public school system was introduced by the Thomasites where education for all was their battle cry but the less privileged were given to the newly-trained teachers. SSbacolod being in order first. He/she who wants order in his/her workplace, community and nation must first be the order he/she is looking for. He/she must have order in his personal affairs, decisions and lifestyle. Second, he/she must follow the order in his/her workplace by following the chain of command. Lastly, he/she must follow the natural and divine laws to promote peace and order. In other words, he/she must have the right standing with Himself, with his fellowmen, with his country and God.

So, should we set our affairs right? tunggal abantem ket mariknam ti palagapag kasta met laeng iti eksenam nga atras. Ti kayatna a sawen…no dika laokan iti linuloko nga aramid ti nadalus nga inyabantem a programa para iti kaadduan…agballigik­a. Ngem no ginameram iti binubuwaya ken linilimate­k nga aramid a pakaidadan­esan dagiti umili…agbanag nga ATRASTO amin ti apitem manipud kagimongan. He he…sabalinto met ti turong ti kua ket…sori apo ta asideg gayamen ti Holy Week. Narigat ti mailansa iti utang, este idiay Kalbaryo.

Napartak ti ABANTE ti programada iti dayta a panawen. No mano nga ahensiya ti gobyerno ti tudo-Abante tapno matulongan kano dagiti umili kontra Dengue. Ngem kellaat a napa-atras ti programa idi maibutakta­k a kasla pimmalpak kalpasan a limtuad dagiti duptal dagiti nagduduma met nga ahensiya a nagsukimat iti gapu a nakatayan ti adu a biktima.
