Noynoy will Push through Gibos' Education Platform

I do not see anything wrong with adopting the platforms of other candidates by winning candidates especially if its a good one. I don't see anything wrong with adding another year. We all know that our education is lacking. How can students learn with three (3) shifts in class? An additional year will do wonders for students although this might add hardship to parents.

If it seems fit that an additional year is necessary, I guess they should implement it. However, the effect would be more expenses for the parents that would be sending their children to school. With the current situation of the country when it comes to expenses, I guess parents should have good jobs with high pay so that it would really make the additional year for students tolerable enough to consider in their budget. Another factor that should be considered, as pay has been mentioned, would be the salary of the teachers. I am not saying that the pay that the teachers get is the reason why education is lacking but, it is a factor as well that motivates a person to do better in their duties. You study hard, you get a high score when there is an exam, right? You work hard, you get a high pay when its pay day would be a good idea too. Of course, that's just an idea. There are probably many details left unmentioned but, what I would like to point out is that, if one has motivation, any 'obstacle' that a person might face wouldn't be a problem compared to one that didn't have any motivation in the first place.

Well I think there is nothing wrong if he would take other presidentiables ideas about good governance. I think this time it should not matter if the idea came from other camps. It just show that he is open to other and is not close minded person as to what is best for the country.

I don't believe that adding another year in the elementary will make our education system gear up to higher excellence, the problem is very basic..lack of school teachers, adequate classroom and books. putting another year will just add up to the burden of expenses every parents will carry. but if the experts think this will help then let it be, and also its not a big deal if noynoy adopts other's platform as long as they are beneficial a good leader knows how to explore possibilities, gibo can be a good education secretary too.

They should make the teachers competent and curriculum revised in accordance to the prevailing standard worldwide. There is no need for added year but increased classrooms to accommodate more students

I am actually disagree of expanding the schooling year unless they will be having comprehensive curriculum that students will appreciate the sense of education. I disagree in the sense that it would be added in more expense and practically speaking students will be more lazy. I don't know about funding of children which is I have no idea if they can accomplish it or not but much better if they implement for the scholarship. What I really want them to make the education more comprehensive in terms of curriculum to the extent that students won't be lazy and scared of going to school for learning.

I have not heard of that news. But, way back I remember Noynoy proposing that there is an added year in the College level. Correct me if I am wrong. Anyways, whoever proposed the addition of Grade 7 in the primary level is not an issue. In my opinion, an addition of 1 year in the primary is much a better proposition than adding 1 year in the tertiary level. There is much financial need in the tertiary level than the primary, hence good education must be inculcated during the younger or primary years than during the later adolescence. The younger the better.

although imposing gr.7 in elementary would really hurt a parent's pocket, i think this will help our young society to cope with other students around the globe. maybe as an option to those students who are above average/excellent, they should be given an exam as a mean of acceleration into high school.
