Teachers can you hear me well? Is my slide visible?

SLIDE 2-3
Before we start our report, let’s first engage in a short activity called the "Rebus Puzzle." If I’m
not mistaken, Sir Verny has already introduced this game to us, so we’ll just guess the word
from the pictures.
(perform the activity)
Now, the words equality, inequality, fair, and unfair might seem simple, but they carry heavy
meanings. These concepts are crucial in our role as teachers. Sometimes, even when we intend
to be fair and equal, we might unknowingly act unfairly or unequally towards our students. This
is what we’ll reflect on in my discussion this afternoon—how we can promote fairness and
equality in our classrooms. (Read Title of the Topic)
SLIDE 5
Marxism as denotes….
Marxism suggests that, to create a fair and equal society, inequalities need to be challenged,
often by changing the way wealth and resources are distributed. It views education either as a
tool to maintain these inequalities or as a means to empower people to fight for fairness.
SLIDE 6-7
The two philosophers who developed Marxism are Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels. Let’s learn
more about Karl Marx first. (READ PPT)
Together, they developed Marxism as a framework for analyzing and challenging the social,
economic, and political systems that maintain inequality. Their work stresses that people need to
work together as a group to bring about positive change and make society fairer.
SLIDES 8
It is said that (read ppt)
As teachers, we have the power to make a significant change in eradicating inequality and
fostering fairness. Even small actions can lead to change, as long as we take action.
Sometimes in my class, I notice students who are struggling, and because kapoy kayko tungod
sa buluhaton At times, I just turn a blind eye, but ma guilty judko afterward. So, what I always do
is take a deep breath, compose myself, and once I regain some strength, I make sure to notice
and help that student.
So little by little, by taking small steps, being attentive, giving time even 2 minutes, and showing
fair treatment and value to our students, we can make a difference.
SLIDES 9
Now let’s move on to the concepts of Marxism in Education. We have three, the knowledge,
reality, and values.
Let’s start with Knowledge. (Read ppt)
Marxism believes that knowledge is shaped by the society we live in, and that the ideas we
learn are influenced by the powerful groups in society, like the wealthy or the ruling class. These
groups often control what is taught and how it’s understood to maintain their power and
privilege.
EXAMPLE:
In the Philippines, history textbooks during Marcos reigned, emphasized positive aspects
of his rule w/o giving attention to his human rights abuses and corruption. Even today,
some textbooks present political figures and events in ways that align with the interests
of those in power, influencing students' understanding of the country's past and social
structures.
Kaya nga we need to encourage our students to analyze and think critically about what they
read, especially when it comes to history.
SLIDES 10
Essentially, our surroundings and society impact both our thoughts and how we are educated.
That’s why we need to ensure that we educate our students in a fair and morally responsible
way.

SLIDES 11
• Promote equity: Education should ensure fairness and equal opportunities for
everyone, regardless of their background.
• Encourage critical thinking: It should teach students how to think for themselves and
analyze problems deeply.
In simple terms, education should be fair, help people think independently, and work toward a
better future for everyone.
SLIDES 12
Now let’s move on to the implications or future effects of Marxism in education (read ppt)
This means that Marxism argues that education is not neutral or it’s not free from politics.
Instead, it believes education is influenced by the values and power structures of society, often
serving the interests of the dominant class. In simple terms, Marxism says education always has
political and social influences—it’s never completely unbiased.
Again, that’s why, as teachers, we need to be careful in crafting our learning materials to ensure
they are unbiased and appropriately suited to meet the diverse needs of our students.
SLIDES 13-14
(Read ppt) Students who come from wealthy or privileged families tend to perform better in
education because they can get access to private education.
This scenario means to support the fair sharing of resources so that everyone, no matter their
background, has equal opportunities.
For example, making sure schools in poorer areas get the same quality of teachers,
books, and facilities as schools in wealthier areas. The goal is to close the gap between
the rich and the poor.
SLIDES 15
This is what I mentioned earlier about the political effects on education—where biases exist,
such as in textbooks, that often favor those in power or the wealthy. As teachers, we should
work to break these biases and guide our students to avoid misinterpretations.
SLIDES 16-17 (read ppt)
 This means creating a classroom where everyone feels welcome and valued, no matter
their background or abilities. It also encourages students to think deeply, ask questions,
and challenge ideas instead of just accepting information as it is.
 This means teaching students to think about whether the rules and traditions in society
are fair and to speak up or take action to make things more equal for everyone.
SLIDES 18- Furthermore, JUST READ IT W/ EMOTION
SLIDES 19- SHARING OR EXPERIENCE
Before I end my discussion I would like to share a bit of my experience. Actually sa almost 6yrs
Nakong pag teach dghan ug mixed najud akong na experience ba. Maong naglibog nako kung
unsa ug asa ato akong e share.
Anyways, magsugod ko sakong epic fail na experienced, let me share my first teaching
experience at Rogationist Academy way back 2018. As a novice, my teaching methods were
mali2x jud because I tended to neglect the slower learners and focused too much on the fast
learners. I didn't give enough attention to those who struggled, kay feel nako ma stress ug
malangan rako ug mao na ang dakong mali na akong nabuhat jud. I feel guilty because I failed
to promote equality and fairness in my teaching, as I mainly catered to the high achievers and
ignored the others. However, near the end of the third quarter, I realized how wrong I was. So, I
made changes, I give time to talk to my struggling learners and get to know more about them
and give them learning materials na mas masabtan nila no para di na sila ma behind. kahit late
na, even though the school year was almost over, at least diba?. So ayun, After that, I promised
myself it wouldn't happen again.
So, 2019, I transferred in SC, I was assigned as a subject teacher in grade 7. Which is very
challenging jud. GRABE KA HYPER Sumbong dre, sumbong ddto. Ug naa pud mga bata nag
gikan sa public elementary ug naa puy private. Karun naa koy bata nga gikan sa public na dili
jud kabalo mubasa like maglibog ko nya kay kung unsay naa ra saiyang huna2 iyang isulti. So
since nakat on nako no, nag intervene judko kay lagi pud naa pud syay classmate nga lalaki
sge man syang sawayon kay lagi di kabalo mubasa. So giistory nako tong lalaki sa mali na
behavior nya unya katong bata na di kabalo mubasa. Akoa unta syang pabasahon kada recess
maskin 3 minutes ddto sa may kilid sa canteen naa may manggahan ddto tas may tables, sus
dili nman mutingog pag duha nlng me, so mao to gi ask nako sya kung willing sya na classmate
nya mupabasa nya, maong nagpa buddy system ko tas nag assign kog classmate nya . tas
from time to time gina kumusta nako sya. Usahay storyahon nako sya sa room bahalag mubo
rag tinubagan. Naningkamot judko to build connection with her hangtod sa kadugayan anam2
na sya nga nagging vocal, makisalamuha na sya saiyang mga kaklasi.
This shows jud that we need to attend to each student's individual needs and provide the
necessary support. It’s important to demonstrate that they are valued equally in society,
regardless of their background or status—whether they are rich or not. We must ensure
they feel they have equal opportunities.
Kato pung last year na nako sa SC, 2023. Naa koy students na encounter ba. Ang isa taga
malita ang isa taga guihing. Si taga malita ky medyo dili sya fast learner pero datoon sila kay
the way mamorma ug gadgets pud. Si taga guihing bright, kaya lang wala na syay parents ,
working student sya unya nakipuyo saiyang ante nan aa pud pagka laen ug Batasan. Bsta mag
exam ko gamay jud nag score si taga malita so gnabuhat nako gina pa retake nako sya ug
hagoan jud nakog buhat ng special exam nya e revise nako in the way na masabtan nya.
(sungogon ko sako kauban). Si taga guihing, 1 week na wala nisulod before mag 4 th exam kay
diay gipalayas sya Saiya ante.

This really proves that no matter how small your actions are, they can make a big impact on
others. Hindi tayo “teacher lang,” kundi “TEACHER TAYO”—a person who can shape and build
the lives of our students.

After I left SC, I told myself that ‘naa jud diay koy mga na touch na lives and hearts.

Reading these long messages from my students makes me feel like a winner—it's even more
fulfilling than winning a raffle.

It highlights his belief that philosophy should not just analyze or interpret the world but actively
engage in transforming it.
That’s all, Thank you for listening everyone, again this is Ilyn Mabangis and have a great
afternoon.
