Education Budget Cuts are "crap"

That Nonoy is such a screwed up president and liar. I remember that he promised to prioritize education, during his campaign. And now he is doing otherwise. Therefore, he said that ust to gain votes. I bet he is also going to reneg from his other promises. He cuts down education budget, but approves an increase in Congress' pork barrel. I'm praying for a civil war to overthrow the government and murder all of its officials especially the president. We need change and we need it NOW!

The problem really is bigger and more complicated than what is being made out in the papers. We all know that life has become more and more expensive, and increases are inevitable. I just think that these students need to look at their universities first before going to the government. State universities have their own charters, and as such, can even come up with their own ways of increasing revenues aside from government grants and subsidies. It's time that they cut their umbilical cords to the government. In most state universities, there is a lot of corruption, because precisely, they are autonomous units. I think its just selfish of them to whine why the basic education gets the bulk of the budget. In effect they want to get what is meant for their siblings. They know that these kids are too young to complain. It's like bickering siblings where the older sibling wants his/her parents to take the lollipop from the younger sibling for him. These brats claim that the K-12 program will take effect in 2016, why give them money next year? Well brat, that's because they need to build more schools so that the program will run on schedule. It's time that we stop depending on outside aid for our needs. Some of us need to sacrifice for the greater good - and certainly basic education is one common good that we should all strive for.

Education is really important for the people. And cut the budget means make the people fool. the government should give more for the elementary, it is important

im sorry that pinas is in a bad wave again i really wish that life in pinas could be better really. is like you always have a new problem to bother you guys. anyway i really wish that someday you have a good president that really helps you move on and have a better life. i just feel that is hard to find someone that cares for others instead of care for his own pockets

Yes I really feel sad for them as well because of the budget cut. It is now up to all the students to learn for themselves. I hope the Government will do something about this. I believe the Department of Education has the biggest budget. I am still wondering why there are still lacking of good schools here in our country.

I also pitty those people who voted for him and only to find out that his government is incompetent,much troubled, more corrupt( i think) and many people are beginning to discourage on how he handles his staff as well as the country. To the topic, we have already requested UN budget and still waiting for it. Not sure if they'll handle it out.

We are fortunate that education here is well taken care of by our government. Education is getting one of the highest government allocation. It relieved all parents of the burden to fork out lots of money to educate their kids in the elementary classes up to secondary stages. Everything is free. Textbooks, school uniforms, tuition are borne by the government. They even have free meals in school. Those hardcore poor students receive cash at the beginning of every school term.

hi letran why is it that some politicans always focus on cutting back on school funds and making classes too large so teachers cannot do their jobs of teaching all the kids. Here in the Us its almost as bad as right in California where I am they keep cutting way back onfunds for education saying they dont have the money but they sure have it for private interests so yes I guess we do have some corrupt politicians too here.

I feel pity for those who rally too because no matter how they shout at the top of their voices, they can't really change anything or influence the decisions of the governing authorities...sigh
