The document discusses several problems with the Philippine educational system, including a decline in education quality, poor performance on national and international assessments, lack of affordability resulting in high dropout rates among disadvantaged students, low budget allocation to education relative to other ASEAN countries, and a mismatch between the skills taught and actual job requirements. Specific issues covered include outdated textbooks, lack of research in higher education, high pupil-teacher ratios, difficulties disciplining and engaging male students, and over-reliance on rote memorization teaching methods.
Principle of Administration And SupervisionDaryl Tabogoc
In the field of administration and supervision, principles is accepted as a fundamental truth. Principle may be considered a law, a doctrine, a policy, or a deep-seated belief which governs the conduct of various types of human endeavor. In administration and supervision, an accepted principle become part of one’s general philosophy which serves to determine and evaluate his educational objectives, attitudes, practices and outcomes.
A sound principle is formulated from carefully observed facts or objectively measured results which are common to a series of similar experiences. The guiding value of principle depends not only upon the soundness of its origin, but also upon the individuals acceptance, understanding, and ability to apply the principles.

Guided by the lens of Bourdieu, this study examined the relationship of the students' economic capital (parents' monthly income and students' weekly allowance) and cultural capital (parents' highest educational attainment and students' community involvement) to their college readiness. The study utilized a descriptive-correlational design, and data were collected from 6,626 K-12 graduates enrolled in one state-university in Cagayan Valley Region, Philippines. The results reveal that the respondents have parents who have income below the Philippine poverty threshold level and have obtained a secondary level of education. They, too, are college-unready, implying that the competencies they obtained from their basic education need further enhancement. Moreover, economic and cultural capital becomes significant resources that are valuable in explaining the college readiness of Filipino Senior High School (SHS) graduates. Those who come from families with higher economic and cultural capital tend to have higher college readiness. Remarkably, the low economic and cultural capital of the students possibly explains their lack of college readiness. As they have less economic and cultural capital, they tend to have fewer competencies to capacitate them in hurdling tertiary education. Hence, these disadvantaged students generally struggle to achieve more and to be successful in life.

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.

12. Giving heavier premium to the
history of the colonizers in the
Philippines, and not to the history of
Filipinos.
Teaching of History subjects from the
elementary to tertiary levels and will
most likely perpetuate in the next
generations to come.
The history of the Filipino people and the
colonial history of the Philippines are two
different topics altogether.

14. Victimized by the over-worked and

Sub-Menu
15. Teachers, more often than not, are
victimized by the over-worked and under-
paid policy of the system of the past and
present dispensations.
This leads to the emasculation and
demoralization of their ranks. This
probably explains why the teaching
profession is not attracting the best and
the brightest from the crop of students
anymore.
Sub-Menu
16. The proliferation of fly-by-
night educational institutions
is counter-productive.
Produces a pool of half-
baked, unprepared, and
incompetent graduates.
Sub-Menu
17. Women, the common
tao and the indigenous
people are almost
historically excluded
from the Philippine
historiography in favor
of the men, heroes
from Luzon and the
power elite.
Sub-Menu
18. The state—in an incremental
fashion—is abandoning its role to
subsidize public education
particularly in the tertiary level.
This comes in the form of
matriculation, laboratory and
miscellaneous fee increases in order
to force state colleges and
universities (SCUs) to generate their
own sources of fund.
Sub-Menu
19. Some textbooks which are already
circulation are both poorly written
and haphazardly edited.
Take the case of the Asya: Noon at
Ngayon with an identified total
number of more than 400 historical
errors.
This is a classic case of profit-
centeredness without regard to social
accountability.
Sub-Menu
20. In the name of profit, owners and
administrators of several private schools
commonly practice contractualization
among their faculty members.
Contractual employees unlike their
regular/tenured counterparts are not
entitled to fringe benefits which
consequently reduces the over-all cost
of their business operation.
Job insecurity demeans the ranks of the
faculty members.
Sub-Menu
21. Some colleges and universities, even for high
schools, encourage their faculty pool to be
generalists (under the guise of
multidisciplinary approach to learning) in
order to be able to handle various subjects
all at once.
But some faculty members have turned out
to be objects of mockery and have lost their
self-esteem since some of them were
pushed to handle Technical Writing, General
Psychology, Filipino, and Algebra at the
same time.
Sub-Menu
22. Over-dependence to the cyberspace has
dramatically reduced the capability of
students (even teachers) to undertake
research.
‘Copy-pasting’ has even turned into a
norm among some students whenever
they are tasked to submit a research
paper or even a film review.
Plagiarism has already transformed into
a more sophisticated form in the context
of today’s electronic age.
Sub-Menu
23. The system, methodology, and even
content of education in the Philippines
are mere haphazard transplantation
from the West.
It is therefore Eurocentric, culturally
insensitive, and non-reflective of the
local milieu.
This is based on the xenocentric (foreign-
centered) premise that other culture or
system is far more superior than one’s
own.
Sub-Menu
24. Teachers, administrators and
publishers are all left in limbo
whenever the DepEd would come up
with another totally different
directive from what it used to have in
a rather very sudden interval.
The case of the grading system,
timeframe allotted to various
subjects, MAKABAYAN program,
readiness test, and learning
competencies (LC).
Sub-Menu
25. Liberal education is intended to form a holistic
individual equipped with communication,
critical thinking, mathematical, creative, inter-
personal and intra-personal skills.
This explains why we also have Philosophy,
Languages, Humanities, Natural Science, Social
Science, Physical Education and even Theology in
our college curriculum, and not only our major
subjects.
Equally alarming is the lack of enthusiasm and
motivation exhibited by some professors to handle the
subject especially if they believe that it has nothing to
do with the course or area of specialization of their
students
Sub-Menu
26. Education has been very effective in
mainstreaming and perpetuating the social
myths in a subtle and indirect manner.
Some of these myths are the perceived
superiority of white, educated men, ‘official’
history as advanced by the western point of
view,
Globalization is the only way to achieve
economic development, and stereotypes
against the minoritized and the
disenfranchised.
Sub-Menu
27. In the name of profit and as a response to the
dictates of the market forces, colleges and
universities prefer to offer more courses in
line with the health sciences like nursing,
medical transcription, and care-giving.
This is done at the expense of the already
undersubscribed yet relevant courses like Area
Studies, Pilipinolohiya (Philippine Studies),
Development Studies, Philippine Arts, Art
Studies, Community Development, Social
Work, Islamic Studies, Clothing Technology,
and Ceramics Engineering.
Sub-Menu
28. Some educators in the
name of conservatism and
for the sake of convenience,
prefer the old-style teaching
paradigm where they view
themselves as the fountain
of knowledge and their
students as nothing but
empty vessels to be filled up
(banking method of
education).
Sub-Menu
29. There are no boring
subjects, only boring
teachers. But at least
we should recognize
them because they
still serve a purpose.
They serve as bad
examples.

30. Facts and Figures on
Philippine Education
Problems, Issues
and Concerns
31. The problematic education quality in the country as well as
the hindrances faced by Filipino students in gaining good
education begin at the early childhood and kindergarten
education stage.
32. Republic Act 6972 or the Day Care Law, which mandates the
establishment of a day care center in every barangay, has
improved the number of day care centers to about 87 percent
(36,338) of the total barangays in the country as of the
second quarter 2010 from 78 percent (31,464) in 2002.
33. The gross enrollment rate of the four- to five-
year-old children from 19.2 percent in 2004
to 24.7 percent in 2008 or reducing to about
four in 10 the number of five-year old
children not in school.
36. The relatively low investment of the Philippines on
education may be the reason for the declining
education quality.
2007 GDP Per Capita
37. The lack of research in HEIs is also seen as another
factor in the low quality of tertiary education in the
Philippines.
38. In 2010 , the share of DepEd budget to total
education expenses was 85.7 percent,
up from 81.7 percent in 1998.
39. The high population growth in the country is also another
factor in the high persistence of high pupil-teacher ratio
(PTR). Another reason is the failure to adequately implement
the teacher deployment policy.
40. Teachers report that boys are difficult to discipline,
have a hard time sitting still, do not participate in
class and are unable to focus on written tasks such as
assignments and exams.
41. The government has imposed a moratorium on the
establishment of new SUCs. The rationalization of HE system
will also reduce the number of duplicative programs
42. The Scholarship system in the Philippines is also
problematic as the country's student assistance efforts to
date are “meager and fragmented.”
