Reaction Paper: 2018 and 2022 Philippines PISA Results
The Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA), which is conducted for
several decades by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development
(OECD), is a test that measures the ability of 15-year-old students’ knowledge and
skills in reading, mathematics, and science. In the year 2018, the Philippines
participated and came in last place among 79 participating countries and economies
in reading, and second to last place in science and mathematics. Also, among 81
participating countries in the 2022 PISA, the Philippines ranked third from the bottom
in science, sixth from the bottom in mathematics, and sixth from the bottom in reading.
While the stagnant PISA scores of the Philippines in 2018 and 2022 reflect the issues
in the education system and reveal continuing worries due to socioeconomic factors,
the consistency in parental engagement presents a good starting point for addressing
these issues. The implementation of solutions should prioritize early childhood
education, curriculum development, teacher training, and the collaborative effort
between government, schools, communities, educators, and families to improve
student learning outcomes for all.
Even though the scores in 2022 PISA are higher than in 2018, it is still devastating
since the country remained below average in all subjects. Although the pandemic is
between these periods and learning switched to digital, it does not change the fact that
the quality of education did not improve at all. In addition, it is not surprising that one
of the factors affecting the low scores is the socioeconomic status of the Philippines.
With poverty, access to quality education is difficult. Therefore, the government should
focus on stemming the education crisis. The results reflect the need for educational
reform: improvement of early childhood education, curriculum development, and
teacher training. The sufficient budget allocated for education will significantly impact
the quality of education. It could resolve the lack of infrastructures, instructors, and
resources.
According to the results interpreted by the OECD, parental involvement in the year
2022 is higher than in 2018 leading to more stable performance of the students. This
shows that parents are taking a more active role in their children's education, which is
fascinating and encouraging to see. The parental engagement makes the student
more motivated, has better attendance and behavior, has good social skills, and has
good adapting ability. The full support from parents, educators and community will
influence students to work better.
Thus, the collaborative effort between the government, schools, communities,
educators, and families, will create a good environment and will improve the learning
outcomes of the students. This will also ensure that students will receive quality
education that can help them succeed in real life.
In conclusion, the Philippines has been in an education crisis for quite a long time, and
the challenges we have been facing that affect student learning outcomes are still the
same problems. However, with the implementation of solutions and collaborative
efforts of government, schools, communities, educators, and families, the academic
performance of students will certainly improve.
