I've heard that they are planning to make education here in the Philippines into a 12 year-education (excluding kinder). Seven years in the Elementary and then 5 years in high school. Well, for me, its both bad and good. Bad because folks around here can hardly send their kids to school and can afford to have ten years of education. Good because there is a good chance that you can get a job right after you graduate in high school (or so they say). Anyways, I'm still kinda fuzzy with my opinion on adding two more years in our education system. Right now, my school has a seventh grade so that means it would take me 11 years to graduate high school. So, would another year make a difference? I just hope so.
let's pray that the good points of having 12 years of basic education will outweigh the bad points :)
