Education down the drain

Problems at school now became even more of a problem. Huge numbers students within a class, insufficient books, no ventilation, and one teacher for every 80 students. That is how you describe education in the Philippines, and it gets even worse; imagine being inside that classroom, all the noise, chitchats, humid and crowded place, how could you concentrate? Would they even learn anything there? For most of those who are sitting in the front row, maybe there is a chance that they would clearly hear what the teacher is saying but the question is, would they have enough supply of books or materials to use? Should they also share books? or should they be provided by DEPED? I remember when I was still at school, my elementary years was spent all day at school. Starts at 7:30 am till lunch time, then 1:30 down to 4:30 in the after noon, most of our subject discussion would last to two hours, and we enjoyed it. As far as I remember, we were around 35 at most that time, at high school around 40 and at college most would be at 25. No excuse not to learn anything, you will be spoon-fed by teachers, professors, doctors, professional trainers and all who made teaching their lives. We were provided with everything that we need at school, all we have to do is listen, think and learn.
I don’t know what the government is up to, why won’t they support the education in our country? If children is our country’s hope and future, imagine what would happen the years from now?
