This literature review will cover some topics that show the relationship of the education of the people and their economy. This literature review also states the problems that are evident in today’s educational system and the possible solutions for these. Economic degradation is considered or defined as the deterioration of the economy or the decline of the economy. According to Tweeten (1989), the process of economic degradation can result to poor economic performance of a country in culture and development and also domestic policies.

Catalan and Durban (2012) stated in their journal the three most common issues about the Philippine education system. The first concern that was discussed is the role of education development. Based on the information some researchers have found, the decline or progress of country’s economy can be directed to its educational system. Digumarthi and Dutt (2004) also believed that education and the economy of a country are closely related to each other. Furthermore, researchers also believe that education can elevate the overall living of the country’s people. The relevance of the curriculum of the country is another issue that our educational system faces according to Catalan and Durban (2012). They said that the “overloaded curriculum results to difficulty in knowledge and skills absorption among pupils. In this regard the new educational system or the K-12 Curriculum was born which will provide a quality 12 year basic education program for each Filipino with the purpose of being at par with the students of other countries and have skill and competency to face the global job …show more content…

This is another problem that Furger (2008) asserted that if students do not find their environment interesting, they lose their attention and may eventually cause them to drop out of school. For example, at Big Picture Learning, schools throughout the country, internships in local businesses and nonprofit organizations are integrated into the regular school week. Students will be more aware and interested in what is going on outside school in this sense and would realize the importance of finishing school so as to be competent in the job they will undertaking after graduation. With this they will realize the importance of going to school and eventually

  • Essay About The Right To Education In The Philippines

    1829 Words  | 8 Pages

    In the Philippines, the 1987 Philippine Constitution declares that education is a right of every Filipino (Maligalig, 2010). Thus, the policies of the government on education have been primarily about education for all citizens.

The right to education, however, must not be confined in the context of being able to go to school or having more areas and structures for schooling. The right to education is undermined and meaningless if teachers are under-trained, learning curricula and materials are irrelevant and learning environment is unsafe and not conducive (Mapa, 2013).
