EFFECTS OF INADEQUATE MATERIALS

ANNABELLE P. DAVID

Education is a powerful tool for students to reach the success they want in life, but how can education help them if there are no enough materials to help them? Philippines is facing a lot of problems and one of it is lack of funds for materials needed.

What is the effect of this in learning of students? In this issue of inadequate materials students are affected with these, they can’t even focus on what they are doing and they lost their will to learn. Because of the increasing numbers of students in public schools there is also an increase for the materials. Materials like books, chairs and tables can help students be more active and feel comfortable in their stay in the room and it also makes the work easier. This can affect their academic performances.

Philippines is facing problems and still doesn’t have enough funds to deal with it, but as it takes longer time to resolve a lot of students are suffering. Lack of facilities and professional teacher to teach are also problems for some public school that is why students have to share for rooms and have the shifting classes. School is not a place for some students to be happy with because of this problem and they don’t have the courage to go to school every day. Learning is a life long journey that is faced by everyone and going to school is one of the key to learn and be open with the reality of this world. But through the inadequate materials students are challenge to pursue their dreams and be successful in any path they wanted to have. It is an issue that is needed to be focus by everyone because education is connected to the success of the country.
