Study Notes
Rural Education in the Philippines
- In 1962, the Barrio High School Charter was enacted, establishing barrio high schools to make secondary education accessible to rural Filipinos.
- A barrio is a village with 20 or more families, primarily living on mountainsides and lakeshores.
- The goal of the barrio high school was to provide terminal secondary education, preparing students for the workforce.
Challenges in Rural Education
- Barrio high schools were attached to "mother schools" due to funding constraints.
- Mother schools were typically national high schools, carrying out administrative duties and supervision.
- Elementary school heads were appointed as assistant principals for the barrio high schools.
Appraisal of Secondary Education Development
- In 1988, the Asian Development Bank conducted an appraisal of the Secondary Education Development Sector.
- The report highlighted several issues:
- The secondary education system needed improvement.
- Rapid expansion without adequate planning and funding resulted in diverse secondary schools offering varied programs with inconsistent quality.
- The system lacked adequate management and evaluation capabilities.
- The private sector faced challenges in providing secondary education.
The Secondary Education Development Program (SEDP)
- The SEDP was built on four key premises:
- The Program for Decentralized Educational Development (PRODED) aimed to enhance quality and increase student involvement.
- The increasing competitiveness of a technological society demanded a skilled workforce.
- The existing system lacked the capacity to meet these demands.
- The performance of secondary education required significant improvement to reach established goals.
The NSEC Development Plan
- The National Secondary Education Curriculum (NSEC) development plan covered ten years (1983-1993).
- Phase 1 (1983-1988): Preparation for NSEC graduates' entry into the workforce.
- Phase 2 (1989-1993): Implementation of a new secondary education program.
Capability Building in Secondary Education
- Phase 1 of the SEDP aimed to develop every high school with at least 200 students to meet curriculum implementation requirements.
Curriculum Improvement
- The study examined the existing curriculum and its implementation.
- Although multiple variables impact the school system, curriculum content plays a crucial role in shaping these variables.
Staff Development
- Phase 1 (1989-1992): Mass training for private and public high school teachers.
- Phase 2: Advanced management, supervisory skills, and leadership training programs for various school staff.
- Phase 3: Local and foreign professional development opportunities for SEDP trainers, teachers, and supervisors across regions.
