Enhancing the quality of basic education in the Philippines is urgent and
critical.2.

The poor quality of basic education is reflected in the low achievement
scores of Filipino students. One reason is that students do not get
adequate instructional time or timeon task.3. International
test results consistently show Filipino
students lagging way behindpractically everybody else in the world. In the
2008 mathematics exam, for example, wecame in dead last.4.

The congested curriculum partly explains the present state of education.
Twelve yearsof content are crammed into ten years.5.

This quality of education is reflected in the inadequate preparation of high
schoolgraduates for the world of work or entrepreneurship or higher
education. If ten years wereadequate, how come employers do not hire
fresh high school graduates? How come mosthigh school graduates flunk
the UPCAT?6.

Most graduates are too young to enter the labor force. Since most
children start Grade1 when they are 6 years old, they do not reach the
legal employable age of 18 when theygraduate from high school today.7.

The current system also reinforces the misperception that basic
education is just a preparatory step for higher education. Why prioritize
the minority of high school graduates that go to college?
