EDUCATORS AS GUARDIANS OF STANDARADS
Senator Mar Roxas
Presented by:
Rose Jean R. Faderagao
Mar Roxas on Education:
Senator Roxas describes the Philippine education system as
“broken”
16.8% of children did not have access to primary education in
2007, compared to 9.7% in 2003
22% of children entering Grade 1 will have dropped out of
school by Grade 3
Among Grade 6 students, only 26% gain the required “mastery
of English”, only 15% in Science, and only 31% in Math
Educational pre-need plans have failed, erasing the savings of
families for their children’s future education

Pilipino as the early-grade medium of instruction:
The Philippine language would be mandated as the medium of instruction for grade 1 to 3
Increase basic education from 10 years to 12:
A remedial year would be added between grade school and high school, and competency
evaluation of students would be conducted in Grade 3 and Grade 6.
Utilize a long-term planning process for education.
Intensive training and upgrading programs for teachers.
Additional training programs conducted in Pilipino for Grade 1 to 3 teachers
Remedial training courses in English, Science and Math
Establish a Pre-Need Code:
The Pre- Need Code of 2008 (SB 2077) establishes regulations of the pre-need industry, which
previously had been under the loose of authority of the SEC.
Are Filipinos well-educated?
One of the comments that makes every Filipino proud is if a
foreigner invariably says, “Oh, the Philippines. I am so envious
because you are all so well-educated.”
We are known all over the world and we are even preferred
as workers because on the average we are well educated
compared to others also seeing the same job.
More than being well-educated, we also have a great facility
with the English language which is the lingua franca of the
economic, social, political as well as the diplomatic world all
over the globe today.
What are some of the evidences that mark our educational system broken?
Worrisome Signal No. 1 In the fastest growing employment sector in our country today, which is business
process outsourcing and all the call center sector, the acceptance rate is 3%
Out of 100 applicants, only 3 are immediately acceptable
Another 7 become acceptable after 2 weeks, one month or up to 3 months of extra
training
Worrisome Signal No. 2 deficiency in written and communication skills
Worrisome Signal No. 3 annually in the international math and science test, our country ranks further and
further below than when it was several years ago
Worrisome Signal No. 4 Out of every 100 that start grade one, only 66 finish elementary. Of that 66 who
finish elementary, only 2/3 of that about 44 finish high school. Of that 44, only 18
finish tertiary level education. 18 out of 100 that began their education, less than
1/5 or one out of every five get a job.
What are our biggest strengths but are also the biggest threats we are facing as a nation?
Education and our attainment
Our ability to provide quality education
Why is education so important? Education is the great lever.
Education is critical to the success of our nation.
Education allows every Filipino to aspire, to hope and to dream.
A person who has a job in the field of education.
Such as:
Teacher
School Administrator
Who are educators?
Educators’ Role The guardians of our dreams and the custodians of hope
Custodians of standards
Mediator of learning
Disciplinarian or controller of student behavior
Parent substitute
Confidant to students
Judge of achievement
Organizer of curriculum
THE WORLD IS OUR CAMPUS
Carlito S. Puno
THE SCHOOL OF EXPERIENCE
There is only the school of experience wherein you take the examination first
and hopefully learn the lesson later on.
The instructional methodology in this kind of schooling is learning how to learn.
Sydney Hook, a world reknown educator once said: there is no substitute for
intelligence.
People who performed best in school of experience have a critical mind.
We educators must see to it that the knowledge we supply to our students
comes from a flowing stream and not from a stagnant pool.
Education is not to make anything of anybody.
INSTITUTIONAL PLANNING
The beginning of most if not all of our institutional planning is our mission/vision
statement.
For a relevant and meaningful program, a situational analysis clearly defining
NEEDS, PROBLEMS and OPPORTUNITIES is a must.
Follow it up with our own educational evaluation of our strength and weakness.
These are the following questions that we can use in evaluating our institutional
strength and weakness.
What are we capable of doing?
What should be our distinctive feature?
What makes us different for us to make a difference
How do we position our SUCs given these local and global development?
Where should be the locus of our mission or vision statement?
Locus could be the “where” of our programs.
What should be the focus of our mission or vision statement?
If our mission is to be globally competitive then our focus should also
be international.
What can we offer which is different and unique?
A very effective entry point in foreign operations are the unmet needs
of the other nationalities.
We must be Academic Entrepreneurs in THOUGHTS, in WORDS and in
DEED.
FOREIGN LINKAGES and PARTNERSHIP
Foreign linkages and partnerships are not developed overnight.
M.L. Boren said: “You should have enough education (or knowledge) so
you won’t have to look up to people and then have more of education so
you will be wise enough not to look down on people.”
Partnership – a mutually beneficial and complementary relationship.
It takes time, effort and initiative to start a foreign tie up and make it an
on-going undertaking.
The onset of the global village and the communications highway gives a
new perspective in terms of relevance and academic excellence.
ENTRY POINTS IN FOREIGN LINKAGES Government to government basis in the form of
foreign scholarships for our faculty and students
short term training programs
conferences; and
visitations
International and regional educational associations
This is more of private sector initiative
Most active here are the international and regional associations of the
Roman Catholic and Protestant churches.
Bilateral or school to school linkages
SUCs in Region VII, CARAGA and private higher educational institutions
Our approach in Korea, China and Hongkong is to work it out their national and
educational associations to help us develop our relationships with their member
schools.
Interpersonal relationships are developed between school administrators which
further enhance the joint educational programs.
“Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to
change the world.”
