Health Implication

The state of the educational system in the Philippines is a great cause for worry.
We used to produce students who were well-rounded and ready for the challenges of the
real world. Today, for every 10 children who start their primary education, only 6 go on
to continue with their secondary education, and 4 will manage to enter college.

The structure of education in the Philippines is divided into two groups: public
and private schools. Were private schools are established under the Corporation Code and
are governed by special laws and general provisions of this Code. While public schools
are established by law, administered and financially subsidized by the government. The
CHED is the one who supervised the whole public institutions all over the Philippines.
