as to say, the hopes of the future are of today's generation. but concerning to this, higher percentage of dropouts in schools were ever happened to every institution. the reasons of it must be identified by the stakeholders so that they can give remedial to the student who risk at school not to finish his education. one teacher may visit the student to his house and ask him personally along with his parents too. having a job would be a one factor why a student stopped from schooling. so if that is the case, the teacher may set a modular classes where activities and assignments being brought home and would set a date so that the two (teacher and student) to check his assignments. that is called remedial classes. the roles of the teachers are not easy. it needs dedication and love to her work. she must do multi - tasking to help the students be equipped with knowledge where one can use it in the field along the way.

My dear friend missjahn, Drop outing is a great problem in the societies especially in the developing countries. Because of so many other reasons, inflation is also a reason for this type of happening. The children are pushed for child labor. The governments should make the policies accordingly in this regard. Thanks; Happy mylotting.

yes, you are right. some of the students are not interested to go to school. even so, it is one of the duties of the concern personage to solve this problem by making mediums on what to do about it. there are lots of ways in solving this kind of problem. drop should not be just ignored. it must be given importance for you know, education is the way to success in life and to augment the stability of one person to improve his way of living and not just that, it is one of the ways how to improve oneself in all aspect of it. thanks :)

you are right! remidal classes are effective and it may solve problems but the reality is very different....teachers these days lack ethics these days they dont teach you outside school if you arent admitted to their coaching classes and if you dont join their coaching classes then they will cut your marks illegally and you cant do anything about it........ it puts a lot of stress in a family financially but theres no other way to get a better future........ and ya the government or the school has a lot of responsibilities in the society and they could do a lot to save dropout students like me. But as always they dont care about what happens to you they only think about themselves and their bank accounts of course!

it cannot be, remedial are really required by deped. "do not leave anyone behind", one of the motto of the concern agency. if the teacher have lots of dropouts in her class, she will be called in the principal's office and being asked the reasons behind why. in there, the administrator will suggest some sort of thing that would be of great help to lessen the numbers of dropouts. they will have home visitation, or yet call the parents and even give modular classes if found out that he really is worthy for the said type of learning. there is also Alternative Learning System by TESDA that well help balik - aral (students who stopped then get back to the school)to take another leap of grade level depending if one passed the examination given. many to mention, there are lots of intervention to help one student to educate and finish it for better reasons and purposes. thanks for joining into this discussion

I always think this about young people, as they don't seem to have the same levels of commitment as we would have done when we were at school. One of the bad things about the people who drop out these days is the fact that you can't really do anything without educational qualifications. If you don't have a degree, then there is very little that you are able to do with your life in comparison to somebody who had made the decision to stay on at school. I am very glad that I finished my school and college education as my life is a lot better thanks to the decision that I made.

affirmatively correct. the dedication being spent by this new generation's students deals a great difference. alright, they passed but hard to figure out what they had learned from school. they are so confident that they would pass even what risk they have to undergo because of that efa (education for all)-helping the student to education and let them pass even unworthy of it all, it is also because of the program of deped, "no one shall be left behind" so the teacher must finds ways to have any remedial so that one certain student or so can pass.. thanks

The percentage of school drop outs increasing is due to many factors, aside from money I yhink one big factor is the motivation that the students nowadays have. Less students are motivated to go to school due to the influence of technology. More students are intice in online gaming or games per say that their priorities shifted. With less guidance from the parents because thay too are trying to earn money then comes the problem. Personally, i do not think that remedial classes willl solve such problem if the student is not motivated or interested. What I think would lessen school drop outs would be for parents to keep posted of their children, set limits , and provide non traditional kind of teaching to be able to adapt to the changing world. But i do agree that it is very hard to be a teacher.

of course, remedial classes have something to do into the education of the child to pass through with one level to another. the teacher must have an initiative to find a way to help an individual to prosper himself, for example, a student dropped from school because he needs to work for sustaining his life and such alike reasons for him. so this teacher, would give him a chance not to disconnect from schooling privileges. i think he is worthy of the chance because he dropped from school because of laziness or of being enticed from computer games, netting and so. it is one of the responsibilities of the teacher to see to it that as much as possible the students can pass and graduate from school. so any given remedial will be based of course, to the situation of the child. it is not the teacher alone who will shoulder all the responsibilities nor should end with his parents caring, even parents play a great role to it but the programs/ enhancers from deped, stakeholders must be implemented to achieve what is needed to achieve. efa so as to say - thank you for sharing your thoughts in here.

Hi violet, You have drawn a perfect picture of dropouts of school going students. And the same is also in my country. Sometimes I feel to blame the unsincerity and undedicacy of the teacher. But the problems are not there. Usually the people of the govt, officers and general officials of third world countries are corrupted and they alway keep bussy in comitting corruption by any how rather than in service to the people. In such a situations prevailing ideology, government officials along with teachers will never get motivated. Where there will prevail a perfect ideology all around us there will develop a jenuine solid chararacter.

there are instances like that. but as an individual, changes starts from oneself, i hope it should be like that to play their role seriously and the budgets would really go to the appropriate agencies and can use it for a good purpose for the human race. here in the philippines, deped and the government should go hand in hand to offer quality education inspite and despite of the hardships in implementing it. thanks for sharing your thoughts in here ")

School education is important to every one. In fact it is the base for our knowledge. We must study our lesson well in school days to get a good foundation of knowledge which helps us a lot in the future. Each and every student must need the school education for their bright future. Some students may drop out from school due to some reasons like financial problems, family issues, need to go for a work, bullying in the school and so on. What ever the reason is, don't think about dropping the school education which is essential in our life. Some persons may thought that some of the popular historical leaders are school drop outs and they achieved a lot in their life, but this attitude is wrong. This kind of leaders dropped the school due to some unavoidable reasons and learned a lot from their experience. Even though they are school drop out, they had a good insight about life and have practical experience, so only they have the ability to shine in their life. If a person is in need to drop out the school due to various reasons., s/he may continue his studies using internet and online method. As we can do a lot of things using the online sites. Otherwise s/he can set a tutor to teach the lessons, as education is important in our life and every one must get the basic and necessary education.

if you want to succeed in life, study harder and finish a degree. it is true that education will help build a nation. an individual can get a prominent job or at least a good job to sustain their necessities and priorities. having a good job would mean good salary. if all the people are oriented this way, poverty of the nation will be lessened. but due to some circumstances, everyone do not share the same rights to education. but i guess, most of them decided like that and i do not know the reasons behind to some others. gee, it is really essential to the living to education by spending themselves to any institution and finishing a course. you can really compare the big difference in having opportunities and jobs when a person is finishing a course or not. thanks for sharing your thoughts in here :)
