10-point agenda of Pres. Aquino-good or bad?

 Pres. Aquino's 10-point agenda is a subject to be talked on town. Especially on the changes to be made on the 10 year basic education. Probably, Filipinos would think that this is a major major problem to them. Thinking that 10 years of basic education is a burden to Filipino parents, especially if they are not in a good state of life, then what more can two more years of education bring, right? But this is even more striking to Filipino students. They are already exhausted in 10 years of basic education, so, adding two more years, probably, would just be a reason for some to drop out of school. They would just be so tired and would give up.. probably..

 On my view as a student, I would think that this is even worst than eating raw horse meat. I don't want to go to school for 2 more years. That's crap! I wanted to learn, that's true, but its too much burden, pressure and stress in high school. Thank God that I still can manage them by now. But for 2 more years? I don't think so.. And, I am already excited to go to college. If you'll be having a survey, I'm quite sure that majority would agree with me.

  But that is looking in the bad part. If we look into the bright side, there is even better than what I have been exaggerating earlier. Well, technically, this would just be applied on students. But if we come to think of it, it is also for the benefit of not only the students but also of our country in the future.

 By now, you could see our country going down. This is actually one of the steps that should be made and applied in the country.

 Only the Philippines together with Somalia is having the 10 years of basic education and all the other parts of the world is using 12 years of basic education. Looking at these countries, they both have not that good economical status. And that's not good. Having the 12 years of basic education as a medium in the Philippines is a step ahead. Just so you know, others who are now finding jobs in the other countries after graduating here in the Philippines are having a hard time being employed in their chosen professions. Why? Well, mostly it is because they are questioned why at the age of 20 that they already have graduated college. These Filipinos are actually told to repeat their college degree thinking that they are undergrads and have less education than those of them there. So thinking about that, it is still better to have 12 year basic education here in the Philippines, don't you think?

  Of course, that's not just the topic of the 10-point agenda of Pres. Aquino. All the others are very agreeable ones.  We could see that by this agenda Pres. Aquino truly cares for the future of the country. That just great! This make us look at a bright future ahead of us. As we believe, Great education leads to great progress. I hope it would just be used in the right way.

How about you? What do you think about it?
