The Alliance of Concerned Teachers said 30,000 new teachers should be hired yearly to reach the “standard class size.' However, Vice President Sara Duterte said it was “unrealistic” and “impossible.” Read the story by AdrianINQ to know more. INQFocus
“It is a call motivated by the group’s fascination for demands and goals that are unrealistic and impossible — placing the government in a precarious situation that will ultimately end in failure,” she said.Yes, the 30,000 that ACT said should be hired every year may seem massive, but the call, including the demand to construct 50,000 classrooms, is “perfectly legitimate and logical,” the alliance said.
It was stated in Senate Bill No. 1892 that “in all public schools in the country, each class to be handled by a single teacher shall have a standard size of 35 or less students” and that “any class with not more than 35 students shall be considered a standard class.” “It is not enough to just bring in students to school. We must ensure that learning actually happens once they are in school. Class size is one factor to consider when evaluating a school’s effectiveness,” she said.
Based on results of the Southeast Asia Primary Learning Metrics 2019, only 10 percent of students in the Philippines met the minimum reading standard and 17 percent met the minimum mathematical standard expected at the end of primary education. The Philippines and Myanmar, where students also got an average score of 288, were behind Vietnam , Malaysia and Cambodia , and were ahead of Laos, where Grade 5 students received an average score of 279.
