The Philippine government should review learning time in schools and invest in early childhood development to address the current education crisis in the country, according to a study by state think tank Philippine Institute for Development Studies .
“Learning time is found to be negatively correlated with test scores. Curiously, the country has one of the longest learning times among participating countries, yet this did not help improve test scores. This calls for a review of how learning times are utilized in schools,” the authors noted. “The country’s performance in international large-scale assessments confirms we have been in a learning crisis for a while now. A vast proportion of our students are below minimum proficiency levels in reading, science, and mathematics,” they said.
Moreover, the quality of higher education in the country is “uneven,” which Orbeta and Paqueo said can be traced to the low quality of basic education. Only a few Philippines universities are on the list of top universities in the world rankings.
