JeepneEd

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.

As the usual problem, money is needed to build more of these JeepneEd, a total of 8,000 dollars per bus. 9,420 dollars have been raised with 164 backers for their project. There are rewards when you donate a certain amount of money.

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 5^th, 6^th grades, and 1^st 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.
