Education

In the Philippines they have ten years of free education. This means Rosemary (our entrepreneur) didn’t have to pay for school and neither does her children who are in school right now. Even though it may have been free it doesn’t mean it was good education. Education in the Philippines is considered bad because of the crowded and poorly funded school conditions. 

  A whopping 15 million children attended school. With so many kids and a fairly populated country you can imagine that the schools don’t have enough money for text books and other school supplies like pens and pencils. Teachers’ yearly budget is on average only $3,276 a year. Not nearly as much as a pilot’s income. Since teachers don’t get paid much they will look for better jobs and the schools will be left with less educated teachers. This is huge because the kids can only learn as much as the teachers know and when the teachers don’t know much the kids won’t learn as much and will be less educated such as a child like Rosemary. Education may be the biggest factor in Philippines success.

  Rosemary is a pig seller that is also another fact to show she isn’t educated and is poor and needs help. This is true because highly educated jobs make more money like a pilot of an airplane who makes $41.76 a day compared to Rosemary’s agriculture job (not needing to be educated) who makes $7.41 cents a day. If she was educated she wouldn’t have needed help and would be living in better conditions.
