The document summarizes key contributory factors to poor quality education in the Philippine setting. It identifies that 1) the Philippine government only allocates 12% of its budget to education, far below the recommended 20% by the World Bank. 2) Economic factors like poverty mean families prioritize basic needs over education. 3) Government provision of quality education has been slower in provinces compared to cities like Manila. 4) Low teacher salaries negatively impact the quality of education provided. 5) Lack of adequate school facilities and materials further degrade the system. Overall, the Philippines ranks poorly compared to other Southeast Asian nations in education metrics.
AN ASSESSMENT OF THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE RE-ENTRY POLICY FOR GIRLS IN SIX C...Lelihle Simelane
Swaziland has no stand-alone re-entry policy. Practices vary from school to school, but generally a pregnant girl has to drop out of school although those who become pregnant may be allowed to return to write their exams at the same school or they may be advised to find another examination centre. The Swaziland Education and Training Sector Policy of 2011 explicitly states that ‘every child, irrespective of their life circumstances… has the right to be re-integrated into the same institution that the child was previously attending.’ The paper documents school practices that appear to be informed by ignorance of the provisions of the EDSEC Policy of 2011 and historical developments in national policy; international conventions and declarations the country is signatory to, with missed opportunities. Schools are not coping with the evolving and expanding role in helping children develop. The study concluded that there is need for awareness raising as well as legislation which will compel schools not to expel such pupils but that they are given time to deliver their babies and be allowed to re-join the school. It is thought that institutionalising and publicising the EDSEC policy should lead to more and better reporting, more re-entry, and fewer abortions. There is necessity for awareness development among stakeholders, rigorous and vigorous campaigns and preparedness to tackle strong resistance which has been shown through the practices reported in this study to hypocritical.

Poverty, Inequality and Social Change in Children’s LivesYoung Lives Oxford
At a special event to launch findings from Rounds 1 to 4 of the Young Lives survey, Professor Jo Boyden, Director of Young Lives gave an overview of findings to date, focusing on how a multi-disciplinary, multi-country study like Young Lives enables us to view trends over time, not just in India but also across four diverse countries. Child development and economic development are mutually reinforcing, she argued. We have seen a decade of growth, with reductions in poverty levels and improvement in infrastructure and service access (particularly primary enrolment) across all our study countries. The question we must now address is how we deal with entrenched inequalities, which need integrated measures across government departments to invest in child development.
Global Initiative on Out-of-school children: Central and Eastern Europe/ CISUNICEF Education
Despite high enrollment rates, many children in the region of Central and Eastern Europe and the Commonwealth of Independent States (CEE/CIS), drop out of school early and many graduate without learning basic literacy and numeracy skills. According to the latest study published by the Out of School Children Initiative, 2.5 million children of basic school age and 1.6 million children of pre-primary school age are out of school in the region. Additionally, many more children from the most marginalized communities are excluded from national data collection procedures and thus are invisible.

The Academic performance of the student depends on a number of factors
such as teachers, student and school related variables. Hence, this study was
conducted to analyze the factors which affect the academic performance of
students. Primary and secondary data were used for the study. In this paper,
students’ results were taken from record office. Multiple regressions, chisquare test, correlation analysis were used to analyze the data. The result of
the chi-square test and correlation analysis portrayed that teachers
educational level, experience, subject matter knowledge, students interest
towards education, attendance, parents educational level, parents income,
distance of the school from the students home, the availability of materials,
text book and language skill of students have an influence for the academic
success of students. Besides, keeping other variables constant, 14.8 % and
62.7% variability of students’ academic performance was explained by
teacher and school related variables whereas the overall 74.2 % of variations
of students’ results were explained by 19 variables applied for this study. The
overall relationship was statistically significant (F19, 23=8.592, P<0.001). It
is recommended that analyzing and understanding of teachers, students,
parents, school educational expert and related variables are very essential to
improve the academic performance of students.

2017 Education Investor Philippines Education and Training Updated March 2022...TonyMitchener1
The Philippines education and training system is quite unique in that not only does it aim to reduce poverty and provide skills for its nationals to participate in and develop their economy, but also to enable those skilled citizens to be competitive and obtain employment globally.
The Philippines has a population of around 98 million people which is projected to reach 128 million by 2030; around 50 per cent of the population live in the national capital region around Manila. The average age of the population is becoming older and the number of young people aged 0-14 years is expect to decrease from 34 per cent of the population to 27 per cent by 2030.
The Philippines is the third largest English speaking country in the world.
The education system is based on that of the United States.
Education and training institutions can be for-profit but foreign ownership, establishment and administration of education and training institutions is limited to 40 per cent by virtue of the Philippines Constitution.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

3. . 1The government only
spends 12percent of the
national budget for
education that is far from
the suggested cut of the
World Bank which is 20%.
Our finance to education
is very far from other
Asian countries like
Malaysia and Thailand.
5. The poor never really place education as one
of their top priorities. They prioritize basic
needs such as food and shelter. As it turns
out, food and shelter are both categorized
under basic needs, which are needed for
immediate survival, while education (and
health care) on the other hand, is an essential
need that is necessary for future survival. In
most cases, the poor, having only limited
income and resources, forgo future survival,
for immediate survival just to make ends
meet in their daily expenditures.
6.
7. For families earning around P50,000-P59,999
annually, 57.6% of that amount is already
allocated for food alone. 18.6% is handed for
shelter, 3.7% is for clothing, 3.2% is for transport,
and 12.7% for other expenses. Education and
medical care are both in the bottom list with
2.4% and 1.8% respectively (National Statistics
Office). These figures abide by the Engle law,
wherein the percentage of food increases as
income decreases which suggests a climbing
intensity of poverty in the other basic needs. In
short, the poorer the family, the more
importance is given to basic needs and education
gets neglected in the process.
8. 3. The government is
very slow in giving
quality and standardized
education to provinces.
They rather give much
time to schools near in
Manila.
9.
10. Education always had a part in the Philippine
governments policies. Education always had
a contribution in the formulation of
Government policies. Since the 1946
introduction of free education for the primary
level, numerous programs and projects have
been launched to distribute education to the
entire population. Unfortunately, as
promising as these programs were, some key
factors were overlooked, thus resulting in an
ironic deterioration of the educational
system. Instead of reaping the products of
these programs, the backfire only entrenched
the rooting problem.
13. One of the key elements is that the government
gave more priority to the quantity of admission,
rather than to the quality of education. The
government paid little attention to other factors
such as facilities and teacher salaries, and only
concentrated on getting classrooms filled and
overcrowded. In most cases, public schools had to
take shifts in order to accommodate such large
volumes of students. As a result, the school has to
cut down time spent on lessons and subjects per day.
In addition, the teachers often have to manage with
obsolete equipment due to in adequate funding.
Since their salaries are low, only a handful desires
the teaching profession, thus increasing the ratio
between pupil and teacher. As a result, teachers
have to handle a bigger volume of students making
the quality of education degraded.
14. 5. Lack of classrooms,
cut down number of
students.
Instructional materials
for teachers are not
enough.
15.
16. This crisis raises the stakes on the productivity level of
the future workforce. As it turns out, the highest
educational attainment for 72% of all poor households
is primary education. Plus More than 50% of children
do not reach grade six (6), they tend to be school
dropouts as early as grade one (1). This means that at
tender ages of 7-8 years, these children are cursed to a
life of poverty. In addition, 67% of children, who get to
finish the intermediate levels don’t even proceed to
high school. Finally, for those who enter secondary
schooling, they drop out after their first or second
year. At this rate, almost 55% of those entering the
labor force will only have attained first year high
school education. These staggering figures pose a big
gamble indeed for the country’s economic progress.
18. In the area of primary
education, the
Philippines ranked 99th
out of 138 economies.
The Philippines ranked
69th in educational
system, 112th in science
and math, and 76th on
Internet access.
19. The Philippines ranks a poor seventh among nine
Southeast Asian nations in the area of education
and innovation
The results of the 2010-2011 Global
Competitiveness Report of the World Economic
Forum, which showed that the Philippines only
fared better than Cambodia, among the eight
Southeast Asian countries that were surveyed in
the fields of education, science and technology
and innovation.
In all categories, the Philippines was falling
behind Singapore, Brunei, Malaysia, Indonesia,
Thailand and Vietnam.
