History at a glance
Education in the Philippinesmanaged and regulated by the
Department of Education (DepEd), Commission on Higher Education
(CHED) and Technical Education and Skills Development Authority
(TESDA). DepEd is responsible for the K12 basic education; it
exercises full and exclusive control over public schools and
nominal regulation over private schools, and it also enforces the
national curriculum that has been put in place since 2013. CHED and
TESDA, on the other hand, are responsible for higher education;
CHED regulates the academically-oriented universities and
collegeswhile TESDA oversees the development of technical and
vocational education institutions and programs in the country.

Home Page
Present DateDecline in the quality of Philippine education at
the elementary and secondary levels.
Reality Check: Results of NAT among elementary and high school
students and NCAE were way below the target mean score. 2004 High
School Readiness Test: 0.64% scored 75% or better or 8,000 students
out of 1.2 million examinees passed.
Quality of EducationNext slide
Present DateQuality of Education (cont) Reality Check:
Self-Assessment Test for English: 19% scored 75% or better or
10,000 out of 51,000 teachers. Decline in Quality of Education in
the Philippines Trends in International Mathematics and Science
Study (TIMMS) as of year 2003. Math: Philippines ranked no. 43 out
of 46 countries Science: Philippines ranked no. 42 No. 1 Singapore
No. 2. Taipei Return to Sub-Menu
Present DateAffordability of EducationBig disparity in
educational achievements across social groups.
Reality Check: Socioeconomically disadvantaged students have
higher drop out rates in elementary level. Most of the freshmen
students at the tertiary level come from relatively well-off
families.
Return to Sub-Menu
Present DateBudget for EducationThe Philippine Constitution has
mandated the government to allocate the highest proportion of its
budget to education.
Reality Check: Philippines still has one of the lowest budget
allocations to education among theASEANcountries.
Return to Sub-Menu
Present DateMismatch:There is a large proportion of "mismatch"
between training and actual jobs. This is the major problem at the
tertiary level and it is also the cause of the existence of a large
group of educated unemployed or underemployed.

Some Reforms Proposed
Upgrade the teachers' salary scale. Teachers have been
underpaid; There is very little incentive for most of them to take
up advanced trainings.
Amend the current system of budgeting for education across
regions, which is based on participation rates and units costs.
This clearly favors the more developed regions.
Stop the current practice of subsidizing state universities and
colleges to enhance access. This may not be the best way to promote
equity. An expanded scholarship program, giving more focus and
priority to the poor, maybe more equitable.
Get all the leaders in business and industry to become actively
involved in higher educationThis is aimed at addressing the
mismatch problem.
Develop a rationalized apprenticeship program with heavy inputs
from the private sector. Transfer the control of technical training
to industry groups which are more attuned to the needs of business
and industry.
