UP Students on Education in the PHILIPPINES 🇵🇭

[@eiuol123]

most filipinos have a degree but i guess what we are lacking is the opportunity, because filipinos sought to have a long term employment rather than to be an entrepreneur

[@ramosfelize6848]

💯..

[@jmronolo615]

Period.

[@rap3208]

Filipinos prefer to be employees rather than business owners because most of them realize life is about family and happiness, and you need time for both. Businessmen have to put in long hours and will have to sacrifice their family and time necessary in pursuit of happiness. Being rich is nice but is not a must, having just enough money to live comfortably is fine.

@@BABYMONS7R.OFFICIAL sadly, that's the truth. Even if you're skilled enough, without recognition or certification the chances of one getting an opportunity to display their skills is rare.

[@VS-np3yq]

I agree. I think, its mainly about knowing what you want. And your drive and motivation on how to achieve it.. of course every person has different challenges, but there's no one way of achieving something. Educational background (academic) could only get you so far and ahead. Its important but its not the only way. Education doesn't stop and is not limited within the four corners of your classroom.

[@jennievzx]

@@BABYMONS7R.OFFICIAL It's true that even in call center agencies, it's difficult to secure a job. However, I was fortunate enough to discover the freelancing industry, which has enabled me to earn a six-figure income despite only being a 22-year-old SHS graduate. I am currently saving up money so that I can support myself when I decide to enroll in college. My ultimate goal is to obtain a degree in a field that I am passionate about.

The problem is the mindset. It’s like we are trained to become employee, and other countries are the ones benefiting for it the most. Like most Filipinos will become nurse, doctors, seafarer, English teachers, etc. then because of low salary and lack of opportunity here, they go abroad. Gladly, I see changes now, especially new teachers, they’re encouraging students to have a bigger goal, to become boss, to own a company and not just an employee. They’re teaching us how important entrepreneurship is, so I have high hope for the country’s future.

[@smoothie4448]

@@juanshaftpatel7488 It’s indeed sad that the Philippine government is allowing Filipinos to work there as maids, but those who work as maids are only elementary graduates. Most Filipinos with degrees work in the medical field, as engineers, or as teachers. Though Filipino maids in Dubai are still lucky compared to maids from the Indian subcontinent, I observed that Filipinos do get a lot better treatment than other workers from the Indian subcontinent because generally Filipinos are smarter and very hygienic, so they smell good. They don’t stink like those from the Indian Subcontinent.

Philippine education is primarily a business by the schools. Students were required to take subjects which are not related in their course, consuming your time and money for subjects you dont like. Example, Engineering and you are required for literature, social sciences, etc. Phillipine students were trained to be employed after graduation or work abroad ( nursing ) instead of encouraging them to put up their own businesses.

[@chocofield]

Students should not be ignorant on that subjects

[@ryan-smith]

The business side of any course is a major you can choose. For example, in my time in year 2007, there's a course like BS Information Technology, major in Business administration. There's also a major in Entrepreneurship of the same course. No idea if that's still the case but I don't think there's any reason for the government to change that system.

[@mli7822]

Hi Ryan, no , this is not the case today but entrepreuneurship is part of our curriculum (actually two, senior high and in college) as opposed to being chosen as major. Instead, what we have on our majors are deeper knowledge on our respective fields (eg. Networking, UI / UX , MicroElecs, Sys Admin etc. ) . Hope this helps 😊

[@jaffechano8059]

@@chocofield but those non-related subjects should only be offered in the high school years not in the college years. Try to compare the academic curriculum in the advanced countries and see the difference. Ask yourself what's the real purpose of enrolling yourself in college and take the course that you like the most. Think the relevancy of the subject areas like literature and other non related areas which are being included in a poor academic curriculum, is it really applicable in the real world when you' are gonna seek for a job once graduated in college as an engineer, for example.?

Engineers go to an engineering school to be an engineer. Accountants, Architects, Nurses etc. It is just the same for singers, athletes, artists, etc. It's not just all about getting rich, but being someone who you want to be.

Most filipinos dont understand that companies hire people with a degree because of this simple fact: You were a given a goal to complete in 4-5 years, showed up everyday, completed all tasks assigned to you, and got a grade of average to above average. A degree represents your discipline and determination to accomplish something. When you apply for a job, your employer expects the same thing from you, that you would show up everyday, do your job, and stay with the company for a few years. So a degree only matters if you want to find a job related to your course. But if your aim is to earn money, you should not be limited to what you've learned in school

At least two of these UP students were smart enough to basically summarize the current state of education in two words - Educational Crisis. But the problem is, the current leaders in this country were either turning a blind eye to the continuous decline of education quality or they're too incompetent in finding long-term solutions to this dilemma. Because of anti-intellectualism and historical distortion spreading like pandemic in all sectors of the society, especially evident in social media, my mind is already entertaining the possibility of apocalyptic ignorance in a global scale. However, upon hearing young minds who are completely outspoken and responsive to the social issues makes me think that we still have a fighting chance to recover from eventual cataclysmic mediocrity. (Crossing my fingers now.) Go, UP. You're making Rizal proud!

[@Yohooo12]

The problem is not our educational system but the government in general, the fact that we produced lots of graduates but only few people only are qualified for the job specially in the public sector, I mean there are lots of job openings in the government but only few people with an exact qualifications are needed. They also want people who has a lot of experience in a field of work rather than those who has no experience.

[@horanghae1675]

and the thing is, those experienced people prefer to work in other country as they will received higher salary and will have a better compensation.

Still hurts and regret it that I didn't take UPCAT back in high school. I was in a special class, also part of the honour list, but I didn't have the courage to take the UPCAT, unlike my peers. One of the factors that affected my decision was our financial standing. Not rich enough to send a kid outside. Scholarship? I felt that I wasn't smart enough to avail that. Before I could even start dreaming of that school, my background reminded me of the reality and decided to retreat. Regrets. If only I focused more on my education and planned my future 😂💔

[@michaelsindiong3153]

So sorry to hear your story. I wish you had the courage and determination to take it despite all the odds you faced. There's always a 50/50 chance of either making it or not. If you didn't make it, then move on with your life. But living your life now to think what could have been...? It's pretty heartbreaking.

Halaaaa sameeee. Lalo na sa self doubt yung you won't avail a scholarship because regardless of how diligent you are, you think that in a brink or clash of something, you'll never bridge the gap you have w naturally gifted students. I'm not saying na dahil natural genius ka, you're consistent on your aims and even in availing a scholarship. I was the kind of student kasi na I really was out under pressure and got to see the other side of the bread, and most of my fellow students have theirs already buttered- they have it all, financially stable and even more than that, and that they're extremely smart without trying too hard.

[@BuglyFastard]

Masyado kayong obssessed sa UPCAT like how Filipinos get obsessed over titles. And yet third world country pa rin tayo. Sa Amerika they could care less about sa titles and exams. High school grad in the US kaya mabuhay ng maayos. Dito sa Pinas, college gradweyt namumulubi. An exam does not determine the value of a person. Bilang collective, naway ayusin natin mindset natin.

What Philippines need is more Trade Schools such as Electricians, Hvac, Commercial Plumming. The paradigm educational shift is also a result of the growing demand for skilled trade workers in various sectors and industries versus College.

[@Whyalwaysm3]

In my opinion K to 12 is already good base structure. What we need is a more centralized systems, from my knowledge different school provincial departments make their own books and how lessons are taught. We need to have a national Think Tank/office to create a curriculum for the entire country and this need to be followed by all the schools. Books should be uniform also other materials given to student should be similar around the whole country. The walang maiiwan mandate in DepEd should be stopped, you need to fail students to maintain quality. Also now that all lessons would be based on a Centralized Curriculum we could have national exams back to progress from Elementary school to Junior high and from Junior high to Senior high. Since we are failing students now we could also start have technical schools cause a student might not be good academically but they can be good at other crafts.

"Wag ka nalang mag-college di naman mapapakinabangan 'yang gusto mo sa future": These are some of the examples said to my cousin, not only for the fact that they cannot afford such tuition but because they cannot wait to fully achieve what he was taking in order to become wealthy. But gladly, he did not mind all of the negativity and proceeded to become a Doctor, he became a working-student to pay his tuition and eventually he graduated with flying colors on Adamson University. In my own point of view, the only problem here is the mindset of the Filipinos that college is only for well-being people because there is still some solutions that will help in order to claim what we have dream of becoming someday like scholarships etc. Filipinos always stick with this mindset because of the negative comments they will receive if they have proceeded on doing this. This is the misconception of filipinos that it is not fit for insufficient people to go on luxurious universities. This mindset will result on high point of poverty-stricken population, collapsing of our economy and our intellectual score. I hope this passage will change the minds of my fellow 12 years old kids that they should proceed what they want to be someday.

I am currently a PhD student at Benguet State University.. One thing I realize is the culture of state owned universities depends on the location of the university.. UP's culture is more urban driven because they are in the Manila unlike state owned universities like Benguet State, Pangasinan State, and Isabella State which has a more rural culture because they are rural..

But thankfully with my ability to do some things and experience some things it helps me to survived I still have my own job even not related with my course I was graduated as an I.T but I work as a promoter I’ve experienced many job through my skills that made me survived from then till now . For me if there’s an opportunity I should’ve try it then I can add my experience with that experience I can use in the future and of course I can’t made this without my faith in God thank you Allah 🥰🥰🥰🤲🏻🤲🏻🤲🏻

Thank you so much for correctly locating UP Diliman as part of Quezon City and not "Manila" like many other ignorant travel vloggers do. Quezon City is the largest city within the Metro Manila region (formally, the NCR) and is about 7x the size of Manila. Also, unlike all other cities in Metro Manila, Quezon City is the only one that locals call by its full name "Quezon City" so as not to confuse it with other nearby locations that are also named "Quezon" such as Quezon Province, Quezon Ave. etc. Other cities, like Manila and Makati, we simply call them as such (i.e. no need to say "city" anymore).
