Grinding poverty is caused by severe socio-economic inequalities brought about imperialism & colonialism. Our people are poor… & need major reparations from the colonizers & the Vatican. In order to alleviate poverty & ameliorate society.
@@joaquinmisajr.1215Imperialism and colonialism are already part of our history but we are not the only one that went through that.

As always, so happy to watch the show. Learning from Stevie and eventually sharing it to others will be his legacy to both young ones and the young once. To Mimi, you’re such an amazing host. You both complement each other. On another note, even though the program is always “bitin”, I think there’s no need to have the time extended. 30 mins or less is already perfect. Sessions should be short yet meaningful and compact. And meetings should be like that. Cheers!
correct! and thank you Stevienomics. Dami ko natututunan especially concern on education. kung gagawing simple ang curriculum, sana po kasama sa bawasan ang loads din ng mga teachers, dahil sa dami ng trabaho...ndi narin nakakapag focus sa pagtuturo..andami2 ipinipapasang paperworks, may class observations pa every quarter, lesson plan araw2 etc. let teachers breathe!
The problem is that there is no system in place that ensures all teachers will be teaching to their fullest potential. DepEd simply bombard teachers with so many paper works. Resources are wasted on crafting "leanring intervention materials, modules, etc." when the problem is not really about the materials, but whether all teachers are really teaching. So DepEd MUST ensure that all teachers are teaching. No distractions, no extra work, no attending of seminars during the school year. Just teaching. All other challenges that prevents teachers from teaching well must be addressed by DepEd. Performance based Bonus must be based on PERFORMANCE to be guage among the students. Example, instead of teacher made test, NAT exam must be administered quarterly. The performance of the students in specific learning area will be the basis of their bonus.
It is interesting to learn how people from another dimension think, talk and work. It is like reading a book. I can not wait to read the next page. It is like living in another world. If I haven’t had a tablet I would never know the existence of this exotic and prosperous civilization.
Philippine education focuses more on memorization than things like problem solving and critical thinking. Also Ph dont have a culture of excellence and innovation.
He hit the point where he mentioned the best students of public schools not passing top PH university entrance exams. I'm a graduate of a local high school myself but I still needed the help of a sponsored tutorial service to pass my UPCAT. Just to pass, not even to ace. I didn't pass ACET at the time and was very bitter about it, only to know the difference in the curriculum being taught in top private HS like Ateneo, international schools like Brent, and science schools like the Pisay system. I only knew about it in my senior year, a little too late. I dropped my studies at UP and went on to finish my college at the top university in Korea and now pursuing my PhD at MIT. All are made possible with scholarships. A lot of people don't realize that when bright students from public schools pursue top scholarly paths abroad, it is done out of a sense of retaliation for having experienced a poorly designed, poorly executed public school curriculum in the Philippines.

He is correct, based on my experienced working in public school in the past two years, I think our government should take a look into implementation of school-based feeding program, and its possibility of increasing the number of student beneficiaries especially in K-3. The 4Ps cash transfer must be revisited as well. Why not give food stamps instead of cash? Some 4Ps parents are only spending the money to non-essentials (buying cellphone, gambling).
I agree with Steve's observation that most top students who graduated from public schools are unable to pass the entrance exams for top universities or qualify for CHED scholarships. Back in 2001, when I was a first-year engineering student at a state university, two of my classmates were valedictorians and three were salutatorians. When asked why they didn't go to UP, they all said they had failed the entrance exam, as well as the CHED scholarship program. One thing I noticed was that the classmates who did receive CHED scholarships were all from private schools. It's happening 20 years ago, and getting worst up to now.
The point is that some high-performing students in STEM programs don't do as well as expected on top university entrance exams. While the STEM program subjects might be valuable in the first two years of college, I question their direct benefit for the entrance exams themselves.
@@Antonio_Luna1899 if that is the case then problematic nga if stem graduates themselves are failing at entrance test. Regarding relevance of stem, entrance exam is full of math and science questions. Di ka yata aware sa mga lumalabas sa entrance tests
@@Antonio_Luna1899 dude if it's just IQ test madaming papasa but it's domain specific math and science questions sa entrance tests and if di mo yan naaral sa HS then you'll simply fail
one thing i learned from steve long time ago, if you are not academically gifted no matter how hard you study, you didnt come from a rich family wih its own business, then at least study in a reputable school. because that school's name is already 80% of your job interview.
Philippines have good beaches "period". No ancient structures like temple. Only few good amount of hospitality architecture in beaches unlike Bali. Food lack spices according to many tourist.
dapat international level and teaching to all schools no matter kung ano ang status sa society. kung ano ang level sa ateneo ganun din ang level sa public schools sa bansa. Eto matindi sa Finland, kahit matalino ang bata he or she is still treated the same way as other kids and he/she is task to help the classmates.
Mayaman ang Finland at konti lang tao.nila. so ang gawin mo bawasan mo muna ung population ng Pinas para maging Finland tayo. So gumawa ka ng man made pandemic para matapyas tao sa Pinas
in the past if you fail the grade 1 you can't proceed to grade 2 or 3. but now you are guaranteed to next level regardless kung may natutunan ka or wala,. make sense because our education system is patterned to the US. which is becoming woke. pag may pa contest. 1st, 2nd 3rd, is being removed pinalitan ng participation trophy nalang, kasi nakakasira daw ng feelings sa mga hindi nanalo. its expected mawalan ka talaga ng gana mag excel....
Higher Math is democratized in the Modern Era. Dati kasi nung ancient times, ang nakakaalam lang niyan is mga elites and scholars hindi siya tinuturo sa general public. And it makes no sense to teach that to everyone like physics and chemistry and trigo and calculus. That should be taught to stem students only. Sa rest, reading, writing and basic arithmetic will already do. Di mo naman magagamit yan sa totoong buhay.
What people miss about Thailand is that it is connected with the rest of Asia by land. It is easy for one person to go to another country and say: "lets take a side trip to Thailand" In Europe it is the same. Here in the Philippines, tourist only have one choice. Us. And as the demographic of tourists are mostly middle to lower middle class, it would be really hard for them to be convinced to visit 1 country instead of 2-3.
It might be because in the local LGUs, especially those from the Provinces, accepting teachers in Public Schools is still/always based on Politics. Government should set a standard screening process or put up testing centers for those applying for a teaching job.
I respect but a value of a filipino is divided in problems that start from families to work that improvements of the work especially service work those under starving living always think of confidence for their work.
Overpopulated ang Pilipinas so trying to fund meals in every schools is impossible at this moment. The question in entrance tests in mostly Math and Science. Like Calculus and Physics. Meron nang STEM ngayon.

How is DALI's capital structure? Fast growth with levered money is a dangerous game. Its all roses and blossoms up until the economy slows down and it is forced to slow down. Then again, maybe shareholders have deep pockets. I always advocate for slow, steady, and profitable growth.
Did I hear that correctly? "Bilingual education is stupid." ??? Article XIV, Section 7 of the Philippine Constitution provides: "For purposes of communication and instruction, the official languages of the Philippines are Filipino and, until otherwise provided by law, English." Your guest is either insinuating a constitutional amendment or is probably unaware that Singapore has thrived because of bilingual education. That's just one example. A simple online search will reveal more.
As someone who studied in Singapore, I believe your analysis is incomplete. In Singapore the second (non-English) language has minimal ability to crowd out English immersion since there are three different other languages and the students are Balkanized giving English the chance to be the only common tongue. In Filipino schools, English can and does clearly become the lesser language and this significantly hinders comprehension of English medium lessons.
college should focus on subject that matters, like when i talk up engineering course, why we still have riza we all our elementary/high school we been talking about jose rizal, pe subject until Pe-3 its nonsense? and other subject not needed in eng course...

Exactly. No real incentive system. For a country that's so obsessed with telling people what to do, we surely don't value our instructors.
