Reaching the Unreached: A Challenges for Filipino Educators
Helen Bihag-Boholano & Mary Lou C. Go Puco

Education is one of the necessary elements for progress, a means of rising above poverty, bridging the social
gaps, improving living conditions and health, and promoting wellness and a better life. It is required so that positive
contributions to the global community may be addressed. (A) Globalization is seen by teachers in the effects that it
produces by following and economic business-oriented model of the world that changes the classroom environment
(Barron, Odell & Mercier, 2006). This oversight is a source of concern since the
(B) Philippine Constitution of 1987 expressly provides for free and compulsory elementary and secondary education.
Education for All (EFA) recommends working with international agencies like the World Bank and International Monetary
Fund to devise programs to reduce poverty- related barriers to learning (Goldstein, 2004). From another perspective, (C)
Sparkes (1999) posited that the ability to participate effectively in the labor market, and its inverse – unemployment, are
strongly affected by the realization of basic literacy and numeracy skills.
(D) In terms of labor market access in the Philippines, only one in every 50 jobs is open to those without basic entry-level
skills and only 50% of jobs are open to those with skills only at entry level (Moser, 1999).
