BATANG MAKABANSA, BANSANG MAKABATA


By: Rica B. Velasco

Sarah Duterte, Vice President and Education Secretary, launched MATATAG:

Bansang Makabata, Batang Makabansa. In her remarks, she specifically states that

MATATAG will provide direction in resolving concerns and challenges in the Philippine

educational system. But the thing is what is the meaning of “Batang Makabansa,

Bansang Makabata”?

We have different perception for “Batang Makabansa, Bansang Makabata”.

Batang Makabansan, emphasize the love of Filipino child to our country. In expansion to

the idea, the new agenda might develop cultural based education, simply a method to

teaching and learning that is founded on the values, norms, beliefs, and practices that

constitute the foundation of any culture. Students from varied backgrounds and cultures

are frequently marginalized in school because they are exposed to a curriculum with a

prevailing cultural bias. It does not cater to the culture in which they are familiar and

have a stake. This is why it is critical to develop a curriculum that encompasses various

points of view.

For Bansang Makabata, marginalize the need of the children in school. The

education system is more on student centered, the needs of the learners will more

prioritize. Students should be involved in planning, execution, and evaluation. Involving

the learners in these decisions will put more work on them, which might be a positive

thing.

Overall, Batang Makabansa, Bansang Makabata simply means, that develop

child’s love for country, and prioritize the child’s need for the better the better future.
