Our Education (Opinion)
**"Education** is the obsession of the Filipino.A parent would willingly sacrifice what he/she has,just to send his child to school. In the rural areas, the diploma, whether it is an elementary or high school certificate or a college diploma,is displayed prominently in the *sala* as source of pride and a measure of singular accomplishment,a status symbol of sort. Before the extension of elementary education to the *barrios* and the organization of *barangay* high schools in these areas, elementary and high school education can be had only in towns,the barrio school offering only primary education. Furthermore, since secondary education was offered only by the private schools and was pretty expensive,the average Filipino parent in the barrios had really to get outbof their way in terms of finances to foot the high school education of their son or daughter. In spite of the expense,however they would stop at nothing just to be able to send their child to school. But the sacrifice was not only on the part of the parents.The son or daughter too had to make new,sometimes difficult adjustments of living away from home.If the parents could afford it, the child stayed in a boarding house where his parents paid the room and board. If the family's financial resources were meager,then he stayed in the house of a relative,a friend of the family or friend of their parents. He brought his ration of rice for a week's consumption and depended on his benefactor for viands.In return for free lodging and viands he helped in the households chores and did errands for the family during his off class hours. Such is the status of the student. If you were in this situation how would you feel and what would you do? Read.Like.Comment. Subscribe@Pluma

In my country, education is not right, there is no practical education
Same as ours
It's really important but it's really heartbreaking to see those who really can't afford a penny to do their best in fulfilling the educational attainment then the reality will just accept those with connections especially in field of work
