Julie Payette states that
education "is the foundation of all we do in life. It shapes who we are
and what we aspire to be." According to this quotation, education shapes
who we are. We can realize our entire potential as people when we get an
education. It enhances our human attributes, including behavior, and thinking.
So, what is the difference between quality education and education, then? And
for what reason is a good education crucial? Learning and study is roots of
education. Then, what is the true meaning of having “quality education”? Does
it only mean that, students who are achieving academic success receives quality
education? Meaningful learning is achieved through quality education. It
enhances your creativity and lets your critical thinking come to life. As it
plays a vital part in their development, this also guarantees that students
learn in a community and well-resourced study environment. Reflecting to the
question made me have a concept that receiving quality education does not only
help them be a better person; it also makes the society and the environment better.
My personal experience indicates that the last school I attended lacked basic amenities like labs and libraries. As a result, we passed up numerous educational possibilities. Another challenge is Weak Leadership. In addition to decreasing learning, incompetent leadership shows a great deal of irresponsibility. A student's educational environment can be facilitated by broad and exceptional assistance. My school was considered among the candidates for a leadership failure because school administrators would abruptly cancel events and instead of entrusting the SSG with handling the situation. It was quite difficult for us as members of the SSG at my former school when they would assign us tasks to complete without our knowledge. How could an irresponsible educational leader hope to advance the standard of education if they are the one in charge? The school system in the Philippines is reputed to be tainted. According to reports, in 2022, the country's basic education system ranked poorly worldwide in terms of students' proficiency in science, math, and reading. The Philippines has yet to attain high-quality education for a variety of reasons. The absence of infrastructure is one of them. The government has a one-year total budget. Nevertheless, they keep using money for purposes unrelated to improving education in this nation. The school system in the Philippines is reputed to be tainted. According to reports, in 2022, the country's basic education system ranked poorly worldwide in terms of students' proficiency in science, math, and reading. The Philippines has yet to attain high-quality education for a variety of reasons. The absence of infrastructure is one of them. The government has a one-year total budget. Nevertheless, they keep using money for purposes unrelated to improving education in this nation. This primarily impacts rural areas without schools, which contributes to the absence of schools. My observations on social media lead me to believe that the Philippines' schools are devoid of classrooms and other essentials. Instead of building schools in remote places where access to non-urban life is limited, the government allocates its funds to inhabited areas. I've observed more students in a small, rural school with greater learning capacity. I spent thirteen years of my childhood at the same school, which made me think that my school was not receiving high-quality instruction. We were lacking facilities, chairs, and other essentials. We were deprived of numerous educational opportunities, like conducting experiments in a science lab or participating in sports in a gymnasium, due to the deficiency of supplies. To guarantee high-quality education, the government must supply the essentials like chairs, lab equipment, books, and much more.
Lack of pay is another issue that both educators and students must deal with. It is quite common for Filipinos living in the Philippines to travel abroad in search of employment. Here, teachers are underpaid. The teacher becomes less motivated to work as a result. In the Philippines, these significant obstacles make it harder to obtain a high-quality education unless the government takes action. Another thing I can relate to is how, at our former school, a large number of teachers retired because they were underpaid and mistreated. They were made to work long hours, especially overtime, as teachers, but in exchange they received poor pay and cruel treatment. The government would just disregard it even if we raised awareness of it through social media sharing or protests. Encouraging high-quality education makes it possible for society to understand what it means. Their opinions may differ depending on whether or not they received a high-quality education. Encouraging high-quality education might result in a population with greater knowledge, which would boost productivity and economic growth. The educational background could potentially lead to a higher acceptance rate for the employment. This fosters creativity and innovation by encouraging the generation of fresh concepts. The reduction of crime rates is one result of promoting high-quality education. Because educated people are less likely to be interested in committing crimes, crime rates may be lower.
In the current generation. Having to deal with
technology is quite common. It is said that technology makes life easier for
people. However, what role does technology play in influencing high-quality
education? Science is one of the academic subjects. Experimentation is a
fundamental component of science. An experiment must take place in a laboratory
to be conducted. Technology-based tools like microwaves and microscopes make up
a laboratory. The students can increase their understanding of experimenting
thanks to this technology. Additionally, it encourages students to experiment
with various lab-based technologies.
However,
there are differences in how technology is used to affect the quality of
education. One advantage is that it makes education more accessible. It was
anticipated that schools will close during the outbreak. Online learning has
become a popular alternative to traditional classroom settings. Education did
not end because of technology—cell phones, specifically—but rather continued. Educational
games can also be a benefit to add entertainment value to the learning process.
Playing educational games can inspire students to participate and learn. It
conveys an innovative approach to teaching. It's not unusual for a teacher to
launch an instructional game here at USJR. They make a fun game in which us
students can take part. This encourages us to engage in entertaining learning
and interaction. Through collaboration tools like Google Classroom or any other
software, technology also fosters teamwork. This encourages students to
collaborate on projects and ideas. Being overly dependent on technology is a
major disadvantage when it comes to high-quality education. AI is one instance
of this. We just leave everything to A.I. as we all know that having too much
homework is exhausting. However, students become less productive as a result of
this conduct. Additionally, it makes students reliant on artificial
intelligence, which makes them either fail academic exams or go completely
dark. It is our right as students to be dissatisfied with the quality of
education provided by our government. Because our future selves are shaped by
the quality of our schooling. Encouraging high-quality education will
undoubtedly contribute to the development of a community with high-quality
education. In my opinion, I would volunteer for any educational initiative.
Using my knowledge to tutor and mentor other students will enable me to better
assist them. Another would be to get involved with organizations or campaigns
that support communities that don't truly receive high-quality education. The
reason these concepts of promoting high-quality education are important is that
people need to understand that not all parts of the community receive
high-quality education. We must also approach the matter with the appropriate
perspective. Not all of us receive the quality education we would like. Poor
education can completely shatter the hopes of some people. In summary, high-quality instruction need to be
required in all schools. The government ought to investigate the possibility
that providing their citizens with a top-notch education would secure their
future. A person with a poor education would be undeveloped, while one with a
good education would indicate a bright future.
To sum up,
everyone deserves access to a quality education. This is essential to creating
a wonderful community in addition to being about learning. As I mentioned
before, a quality education emphasizes a person's personal growth; in the
absence of this, the population would be unfit for the future generations to
live in. Because a community with access to high-quality education fosters
emotional intelligence, critical thinking, and a polite atmosphere. Finally, do
you ever question whether you are receiving a high-quality education?
