Government & Education Thousands of teacher-applicants swamp DepEd

Like nursing and some other professions, they keep taking the Money of Students, Turn out some Diplomas and no jobs to go to but again, it is all about Money.
We in the West had a Glut of this type of thing, many countries stopped Apprenticeships and in Depth Training then found some 15 to 20 years later we had a generation gap of trained People. There really should be a proper accountability on these student places. if you have 300 jobs next year, just take 400 students, some will fail, some will fall out and thus ending up with maybe 320 who Qualify, the best get a job the others may have to wait or go to Jolibee. better than 2.000 on the Scrap heap.
I am sure that there are many more learning Courses to be had if the right people are put in charge of it. But.............................

Actually there is a national shortage of qualified applicants, meaning test-passers, because of the K-10 to 12 changeover.

 

If the colleges dropped courses there were already too many grads trained in/no jobs, there wouldn't be any courses left to teach..

 

That is why they won't drop courses, it keeps the teachers /Tutors in Work, as I said before this is all about Money for some and the Students just pay for it.

Well everything's about money isn't it?

You could say the same thing about colleges vs available jobs in many countries. Better to enable some to succeed than to eliminate the chances completely.

The public wants it and deserves it so it's there. It's up to the individual what they do with it afterwards.

It's not perfect but it's all we got.

 

Notwithstanding what has been said here is the fact that many of the courses taught here are redundant. And, the teachers who teach them are not qualified to teach. They may have the credentials on paper but they are less than adequate as a teacher. Most books they use are just poor photo copies and those books are outdated. Plagiarism is rampant here in the Philippines. And, lastly over 90% of students are cheaters. So, what have they really learned when they graduate? Add it all up and you have a huge FAIL.

For example, let's look at computer science. Are any schools producing qualified students who have a firm grasp on cutting edge computer technology? Are these students in demand by leading companies involved in computing?

The problem with most schools is that they depend on the money so much from their students that they turn their head the other way. Have you ever heard of anyone getting suspended from a school in the Philippines for cheating?

There may be some instances where this is not true but for the most part I believe that the level of education in the Philippines is very poor.

Maybe if the quality of grads was on par with other International Universities they would be able to get decent jobs!

Jump in if you disagree!

 

Hmmm aye maybe if there were Jobs to be had.
