SOCIETY
APPLICATION – Let’s Apply

give suggestions or what schools must do to address.
2. What moves has the Philippine government taken to ensure equitable access to education
for all.
3. Poverty is ranked #4 among the top 10 issues cited by the World’s Economic Forum’s
Global Shapers Survey in 2017. Education is supposed to liberate people from poverty.
The Philippine has a comparatively higher literacy rate. Based on the Literacy Statistics,
Functional Literacy, Education and Mass Media Survey (FLEMMS) of 2013, 95.6
percent of Filipinos were literate, an improvement from 95.6 percent in 2008. How come
the Philippines has one of the highest number of educated people and yet we remain to be
“island of affluence amidst a sea of poverty” meaning poverty abounds?
Can this be traced to poor quality education of Philippine education? Why or why not?
