Internalization of the Philippine Education

  As we face this globally-competitive era, every individual searches for commitment to justly advance the educational system towards producing a globally-competitive workforce like the European countries whose educational system is standardized wherein the students are becoming a competitive workers in their field of specialization or degrees obtained.

                Here in the Philippines, we are still in struggle to consign ourselves to produce globally-competitive graduates because our educational system is quite far-flung from those European institutions. And this year is a call for our government and its officials to assist our countrymen to create a rigid assurance towards implementing and mounting the educational system. It is further a call to benchmarking of preeminent educational practices through research and boosting the internalization of the Philippine education system wherein all schools (its ether primary, secondary and tertiary levels) will be prioritizing research activities in all academic activities which intends to give over helping human race crack the different problems of the community, the nation and of the world. Philippines should voluntarily to adhere the European countries to implement the Bologna (pronounced bo-LO-nya) Accord to shape a genuine education community. During elementary and high school years, students must be trained on the particular field wherein they will excel. For instance, if a student is excellent in acting he prefers to enroll in Arts and Theaters. Upon entering college level he may be geared up and premeditated to do well on his ability as on his degree to be taken. Skills should be well-enhanced through vocational courses may be if essential. In the academic, major subjects is subjected to be voluntarily prioritized and reforms to employ a more student-focused approach and new quality procedures to instruct.   

                This is quite true that we have to put forth more efforts and time, and spending much money. But what is vital is that quality education will be obtained by our students. By the way it could be used to compete in this world of workplace for the future of individual. Government and its officials should coerce to partake and spend extensively the Bologna Accord for the sake of quality education and promoting the nation as its best through educational research program.

                The Philippine education system should take up the Bologna Accord which aims to assist mobility by providing universal tools to guarantee that periods of study abroad are recognized. We must bear in mind that “Education is a key to upward social mobility.” Our country in general should partake and make sizeable changes to our system in answer to Bologna Accord and required a terrific effort in assessing curricula. Curriculum should be enhanced extensively in order that the degree being obtained by our graduates will be acknowledged in European counties as we apply in their workplace. Many of our countrymen have planned to travel across the Atlantic to work, but the question is how can we work competitively if the degree we have been attained is not enough and not being recognized along the other nations in the world?

                Therefore, we Filipino people, especially those in higher ranks will make innovations that our Philippine schools could compete with the other graduates from the other nations and make our educational system be compatible with those countries that are participated in by the Bologna Accord. Our students here in the Philippines are spending more hours in school than the typical European students. Our students dedicate fewer hours to their major and do not take up major subjects to accomplish the requirements of the Bologna Accord. In the other words, assessing the curriculum is an imperative in addressing the future to produce globally-competitive graduates. Both local and global trends should be imparted in every student, especially research works as a pilot for making innovation to our Philippine educational system.

This is the right time for us Filipino people to think what is to be internalized for our educational system for the future of everyone else.

So, Anyone?
