When I brought my Year 2 (7 year-olds) son to school this morning, I was amazed to see a Year 6 (11 year olds) student bringing laptops to my son's class. I presume their first class is on IT. I saw Dell laptops laid on the tables, probably mid-level specs and I presume one for each student. When will this happen in the Philippines? And yes, my son goes to a public school. It is a Roman Catholic Church partly funded primary school.
Sa asa man ka nga country karon sir?
Sa Pilipinas, naa nay daghan mandates to teach students basic computer training. It is even mandated to teachers to integrate computer skills in teaching other subjects. Ang nakaparat is maghimo lang ug mandato para makapangayo ug hinabang para ibulsa sa mga pulitiko. I used to teach in one of the barangay high schools sa Bohol, the school's computers is the schools initiative, 1 given by the barangay council and 1 funded by the school.
Usa pa jud sa issue is iblame dayon ang teachers nga kuwang sa training. How would teachers enhance their computer skills nga pag-abot sa ilang balay or bisan sa ilang schools wa may computer? Good for me kay I have been into computers since the early 90s. Pero ang kadto wa man gani kaila sa parts except sa pictures?
ANg pinakadaku nga issue man gud sa edukasyon sa Pinas has only 1 common source, Policies, Laws, and Mandates are made by people who haven't taught a real classroom. Yeah, maybe they have been a college professor. But, that is entirely different from Primary and Secondary levels. Ang polisiya nga gihimo is layo ra sa tinuod sa mga hingtungdan nga teachers.
Sa maestro pa ko didto sa bukid, maglisud gani ko explain sa basic electrical circuits kay ang classroom way kuryente... Now tell me Mr. Senator or Mr. Congressman, kung sakto ba nang imong gipangbuhat?
