The Problem of Education in the Country

Education is generally viewed as an escape route from poverty, a means to improve life of the poor. Philippines has 91% learning poverty rate, according to the World Bank report in August 2022. Learning poverty is defined as 'inability to read and understand short, age-appropriate texts by the age of 10.'

The education system in the Philippines is reflective of the economic and political inequality in the country. Only a very few privileged children have access to adequate modern learning facilities. The majority of schools, particularly those in the most poverty-stricken areas, have chronically bad teacher/pupil ratios and outdated and irrelevant learning materials. Moreover, 50% of children are deprived of school.

If learning poverty in the country will not be urgently addressed, our future human resources will be a major challenge to our economic development.
