Title: The Global Teacher Status Index Report
Task no:2: Answer the following questions based on the GTS Index Report
What message do these data convey: 2/3 of the countries judged the professional
status of teachers most similar to social workers? Explain your answer.
   -   For me the reason why the two-thirds of countries judged the social status of
       teachers to be most similar to social workers is because they both works with
       other people on an individual or group basis to assist them in learning skills that
       will promote their health or ability to support themselves economically.
In most European countries, more respondents believe that pupils disrespected
teachers than respected them. Is this situation true to the Philippine setting?
Yes? Explain your answer.
   -   No, because many students here at our country respect their teacher using “po”
       and “opo” from kinder garden and also on college.
Fifty percent of parents in China would encourage their children to become
teachers. Would you do the something to your younger sister or brother? Why?
Why not?
   -   No, because I want them to choose what ever they wanted to become and I as
       big brother will support them to reach their dreams.
Do you agree with the survey result that teacher should be paid according to student
performance? Yes? Or no?Why? Why not?
I definitely don't agree on that. I think that it's unfair for any teacher to be paid compared
to his student’s performance. Because I think, teachers should not get salary on the
basis of their class results because only teachers are not responsible for the learning
process of their students. All the students do not have same learning abilities. It can
also make the teachers dishonest.
Teachers in the 21 countries surveyed, have positive trust ratings. Do you think Filipino
teachers are also trusted?Yes? Or No? Explain?
Yes, of course Filipino teachers are also one of the most trusted teachers.
Enrichment Activity
Write an essay on the topic: How does a Filipino teacher compare with a teacher in the
ASEAN and beyond?
Filipino teacher is just like other teacher in foreign countries, Filipino teachers are
passionate to teach we have a huge heart to our students.
