It is a constitutional mandate
for the government
to prioritize education no matter how unstable the
Philippine economy is. Students hunt for plastic bottles after school to pay
for school supplies. In 2006, double classroom sessions were launched to supply
the need for education, adding to that, Filipino teachers are abandoning our
country for fortune abroad.
This year,
DepEd received P271.6 Billion pesos, the highest budget allocation in
Philippines history. In a country of 92 million people and counting, this huge
amount of budget is suitable but the distribution might be a problem. Under the
new president, he is still walking in the dark, searching for corrupt officials
that might be under his nose while the educational system of the Philippines
waits in the gutter.
Students that are in community
schools are the real sufferers of the government’s ignorance. To alleviate this
problem, JeepneEd was constructed, education on wheels. It is a moving outdoor
school that has complete internet access, school materials, netbooks, and their
educational standard is guided by the Philippine educational system.

Money
walks on a longer pavement when it is donated for a charitable cause and
JeepneEd is a traveling proof of this.JeepneEd
meets students once a week. Before JeepneEd starts, teachers execute every activity
offered on the JeepNeed. From using scrap papers to create toy rockets, to
using online games, building science blogs, editing Wiki Pages and building
simple games and videos.
JeepneEd
has recently reached Saranggani, with a literacy rate of 67.2 %, counting 5
elementary schools as their partners. They will be serving to their 5th,
6th grades, and 1st year high school students. Their students
instantly grown up to more than 1000, eventually, JeepneEd will be expanding to
teach other grade levels. JeepneEd employ parents and in some time in the
future, allow teachers to own JeepneEd.
Teachers
measure the ability of students to apply the knowledge they acquired. This is
to determine their capacity of critical thinking and creativity, for them to
have a complete understanding of their potentials. They do not completely
forget about the students who have graduated from JeepneEd. They track their
accomplishments and the status of their education for the next 10 years.
JeepneEd exceeds what the
government could have done to prevent illiteracy in the Philippines. And as
appreciation, we can donate to their project. 2 JeepneEds are not enough to travel 7107
islands, visit 122 cities, and educate 13.1 million students.
The government may take an example from the JeepneEd project, especially, in reaching rural areas and ethnic groups that cannot read and understand the native language of Filipinos. With the budget of 271.6 billion pesos, 2,000 dollars is a token for this small project to fill the remaining 8% on our literacy rate.
