K + 12... Solusyon nga ba para maitaas ang antas ng EDUKASYON?
Ni Marilou T. Valiente Ang K+12 o ang Enhanced 12 year Basic Education program ng Department of Education ang pinakabagong programa ni at nilagdaan ng Pangulong Benigno Aquino Jr. sa edukasyon. Bitbit niya ito sa kanyang 10 point agenda noong panahon ng kampanya sa pagkapangulo. Sa K+12, ang lahat ngkabataan na edad 5 ay dapat pumasok sa kindergarten(pre-school) at magdadagdag din ng dalawang taon naSenior High School. Lalagyan ang curriculum ng mgasubject na magbibigay ng vocation at technical skillstraining sa mga estudyante. Halimbawa ng mga ito ayang welding at machine operation.Ipapatupad ang K+12 sa isang ladderized o antas-antasna paraan.. Ang lahat ng grade 6 ngayong taon pababa ay papasok na sa dagdag taon ng K+12, ang dalawang taong Senior High School pagkatapos ng nakasanayang apat na tao. Ang programang ito ay naglalayong mapataas ang kalidad ng edukasyon ng bansa. Ang Pilipinas na lang kasi ang bukod tanging bansa sa Asya ang may pinakamababang bilang ng taon sa Basic Education. Suportado ang programang ito ng ilang sektor tulad ng mga nasa negosyo. Sa ganitong paraan ay maari ng makapagtrabaho ang mga Pilipino kahit high school lang ang tinapos. Ang pangunahing adhikain ng K12 Program ng gobyerno ay ang pag aangat ng kalidad ng edukasyon sa Pilipinas. Ngunit ito nga ba ay praktikal? Ito nga ba ang tunay na solusyon sa naghihikahos na estado ng edukasyon sa ating bansa? Kung dadagdagan ng taon ang pag-aaral ay malulunasan ba nito ang kahirapan? Mababawasan kaya nito ang mga drop out? Ito na nga ba ang kasagutan upang maitaas ang antas n gating edukasyon? Katanungan ng marami lalung-lalo ng mga magulang at mga mag-aaral. Ang pangamba ng marami, di kaya ito’y magdulot ng karagdagang paghihirap sa mamamayan lalo na sa mahihirap. |
Getting High Grades in English
by: Mrs. Marian C. Robles ![]() To succeed in a world where English is used for international interpersonal communication, it is necessary to master the English language. Thus we need to develop our vocabulary and our skills in using the systems of the English language; its phonology, grammar and text structuring. We need these skills to listen, speak, read and write, and to adapt our language to an ever increasing number of topics, areas of interest and communication situations. We must be able to distinguish between spoken and written styles and informal and formal styles. Moreover, when using the language in communication, we must also be able to take cultural norms and conventions into consideration. When we are aware of the strategies we use to learn a foreign language, and the strategies that help us to understand and be understood, the acquisition of knowledge and skills will be easier and more meaningful. It is also important for each of us to establish our own goals for learning, to determine how these can be satisfied and to assess the way we use the language. Learning English may also give us better insight into our native language and other languages we know, thus becoming an important element in our personal development and making a significant contribution to our communicative abilities. In addition to learning the English language, this subject will also contribute insight into the way we live and how others live, and their views on life, values and cultures. Learning about the English-speaking world will provide a good basis for understanding the world around us and how English developed into a world language. Literature in English, from nursery rhymes to Shakespeare' sonnets, may instil a lifelong joy of reading and provide a deeper understanding of oneself and others. English texts, films, music and other art forms may also inspire the pupil's own artistic expression and creativity in many genres and media. Thus English as a school subject is both a tool and a way of gaining knowledge and personal insight. It will enable the pupils to communicate with others on personal, social, literary and interdisciplinary topics. It will give insight into how individuals think and live in the English-speaking world. Communicative skills and cultural insight can promote greater interaction, understanding and respect between people with different cultural backgrounds. In this way linguistic and cultural competence contributes to the all-round personal development and fosters democratic commitment and a better understanding of responsible citizenship. |

SYNERGY IN AN ORGANIZATION
by: Mrs. Marilou T. Valiente The word “synergy” comes from synchronized energy. When applied to an organization, it simply means that the energy drive of each member to reach a common goal of success of the organization is synchronized and of the same level. Every member work hand in hand to assure success. To attain such success, the FIVE STEPS OF ORGANIZING PROCESS are to be followed:
1. Identify the tasks. Describe what people must do to reach objectives. Focus on this and you will be able to pick the right tasks and avoid doing the wrong things; accepting impossible tasks because of misdirected “can do” attitude; accepting inappropriate tasks because of inabilty to say “No”!
2. Establish structure. Use formal organizational documents to align tasks with functions, resources, and people. Examples : organizational charts, Manpower authorization documents, and position descriptions.
3. Fit people to tasks. Assign the right person to the right task. No square pegs in round holes. Consider position description but be flexible. If they don’t fit the tasks, rewrite.
4. Establish relationships. People are the key to success in organizing. Use three tools to ensure people cooperate: Authority – empower people to do their job. Responsibility – ensure they know what’s expected of them. Accountability – hold them answerable for results.
5. Allocate resources. Direct most resources to major efforts. Apply minimum resources to secondary efforts. Give people enough resources - this builds trust when you deliver. |
Important Issues in Public School Financing
![]() Education finance has long been a topic of debate .With education consuming a large share of public expenditures in many countries,the public is increasingly interested in how education resources are used. In addition,the economic down turn is prompting many more questions as governments reconsider spending priorities in the context of tightening budgets. Where the money comes from? The major source of funding for public schools is the local property taxes.It is set by the local school board ,other officials or directly by citizens.This local control led to dramatic differences in school funding ,usually depending on the relative property wealth of the surrounding community. There is budget allocation for Education on Financing like: the Department of Education takes the biggest share with Php 238.8 billion representing a sharp budgetary increase of 15.2 percent from its 2011 budget of Php 207.3 billion.There is proposed budget for basic education includes for : basic educational facilities,hiring more teachers to address current teacher shortage ,allocation out of the Miscellaneous Personnel Benefit Fund (MPBF),allocation for the procurement of textbooks and teachers manuals,allocation to support the expansion of Government Assistance to Students and Teachers in Private Education (GASTPE) to benefit one million grantees ,allocation for the Universal Kindergarten program. The Federal Government,State Governments,School districts and Schools all have some decision – making role about in expenditures. |
Help Your Child Build Writing Skills
![]() Sandwiched somewhere between reading for meaning and tackling math problems, kids are expected to write. A lot. They’re writing stories, persuasive papers, letters, PowerPoint presentations, and content for their own websites. And yet, for all the writing kids do, many struggle to come up with words to put on paper. Students in upper elementary, middle, and high school may be especially reluctant because they are self-conscious about their writing or think they have nothing of value to say. Let your child know that every occupation requires writing. Doctors write. Artists write. Athletes write. Look for examples everywhere you go of people writing as part of their professional lives. Encourage adults in your child’s life to point out examples of writing and revision. Encourage your child to write letters. Not the electronic kind but old-school, handwritten letters. Whether she writes to a grandparent or a pen pal in another state or country, she’ll gain valuable practice expressing herself through words. Show your child how writing can help him work through problems and find a solution. If something is bothering him, have him write about it. Or if your family is having a problem, such as feeling overscheduled or not being able to stick to a budget, have your child write down potential solutions. Help your child tackle math problems with writing. Sometimes writing a paragraph about how you plan to solve an equation can help. Really! Read your child’s writing and comment on it. Take time to praise your child’s writing, even if it’s a routine assignment that comes home in the backpack. It’s common for parents to defer to teachers on writing if they don’t feel confident themselves. But anyone can be a writing coach, just by encouraging a child to keep at it. The more we can be positive, showing an interest and offering to read a child’s writing, the more comfortable the child will be. Parents can help their child edit and think through ideas. It’s all about being a motivator. |
