Problems of the Philippine Educational System
- The government only spends percent of the national budget for education that Is far from the suggested cut of the World Bank which Is 20%. Our finance to education is very far from other Asian countries like Malaysia and Thailand.
- Lack of well-trained teachers and classrooms to cut down number of students.
- Low salaries of teachers.
- The government is very slow in giving quality and standardized education to provinces. They rather give much time to schools near in Manila. Instructional materials for teachers are not enough.
While the Philippines people enjoy a high level of literacy and the number of schools have greatly increased, the system still has many problems. Generally, there has been a decline in the quality of education, many people still cannot afford education, and the government needs to increase spending on education.

Demography

This affects education in the country such that when people are to many and facilities are too small, education does not become a priority, leading to smaller population educated. There Is also a question on language since Philippines is made up of different ethnicities and therefore different languages. It may create educational barriers.
