RE: Philippine Education System: A Catalyst for the Filipino Nation to Progress?
This is a tricky one to answer. In one hand I would say that taxes would pay for every child's education. But that's not how the system works in the Philippines. High percentage of the population can't afford to go to school because you still have to pay for an education there.
There are a lot of families that live in rural areas of the Philippines where resources and access to basic needs are not up to par. These families have very little to no chance in having their child attend school and get an education.
It doesn't matter if it's a normal school day or not. There will always be kids walking around in the street with no foot ware and no police officers checking to see why they are not in school.
I believe these are among the issues that the current president of the republic is trying to address, hopefully.
Duterte is too busy with keeping his promise of making the fish in Manila bay fat from the dead drug dealers that he promised to exterminate. Then after committing crimes against humainty, he'll balance the books and send kids to school. Sounds like a clean wholesome guy.
