The results of the survey, conducted from February 8-15, show that only two of every 10 Dabawenyos are satisfied with the government’s response for quality education.
DAVAO, Philippines – Some 55.8% of Dabawenyos are dissatisfied with the government’s work on education, yet a majority still want their former mayor, Vice President Sara Duterte, to continue serving as education secretary, the results of a survey by the University of Mindanao-Institute of Popular Opinion showed.
Survey results showed that four of every 10 Dabawenyos support the mass promotion of pupils – or allowing them to proceed to the next grade – regardless of their performances. In the 2018 PISA results, the Philippines scored lowest in reading and comprehension and the second lowest in mathematics and science.
Elsa Villanueva, the principal at the private school Assumption School of Davao, said the assessment could be used as a baseline for intervention programs. “All teachers must be trained to teach reading as it is a basic skill that is done alongside other subjects. Teachers must also improve their mastery of basic concepts and problem-solving skills, particularly in non-routine problems,” she added.
“Oftentimes, Filipino learners experience emotional abuse, and exhaustion. Some Filipino learners suffer from psychological fatigue. And being academically insecure, many of them failed to meet the standards of the demanding and competitive world,” she said.
