It was President Noynoy Aquino who signed Presidential Proclamation 242 declaring the period from Sept. 5 to Oct. 5 of every year as “National Teachers’ Month” (NTM).<br />

<br /><br />A lot of activities have been lined up to celebrate the NTM, with individuals, corporations and organizations mobilized in a multi-sectoral effort across the entire country to create a strong advocacy that “cultivates a Filipino culture that celebrates all teachers’ service and heroism,” the NTM Coordinating Council said.<br /><br />Teaching is perhaps one of the most underpaid professions but despite the low pay, a lot of teachers never waver in their passion and idealism to mold the minds of our young people. In many parts of the country, teachers walk for hours and use their own resources to buy chalk, etc. just to fulfill their calling. During elections, they serve as board of election inspectors and in the process put their lives at risk. In fact, there have been too many stories about teachers dying just to protect the sanctity of the ballot especially in election hot spots like Maguindanao.<br /><br />People shouldn’t have to wait for the National Teachers’ Month to say “thank you” to these everyday heroes.<br /><br /><br />The source article copy and paste this link in your browser to continue reading the complete article <br /><br />http://www.sunstar.com.ph/bacolod/opinion/2012/09/29/pacete-my-teacher-my-hero-245483<br /><br />http://ezinearticles.com/?My-Teacher,-My-Hero&id=7823579Unknownnoreply@blogger.com14tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3291810673568677548.post-66416686981998773892013-09-22T01:13:00.001-07:002013-09-22T01:13:03.495-07:00Book review: ‘The Smartest Kids in the World: And How They Got That Way’ by Amanda Ripley<br />The deeper Ripley goes, however, the less certain she is of the answer to our school problem.

With the sea of apps that all claim to be "educational," though, let's discuss which ones are really the best for our kids.<br /><br />Schools have long been using software and video games to teach kids, of course (any one else play The Oregon Trail?). With tablets, advanced gaming systems, and other modern achievements, kids can also be learning all the time at home (maybe even unbeknownst to them)—and have fun all the while.<br />

After all I’ve said, I believe there’s no
other work as fulfilling as teaching our students. There’s this
saying that I agree with: “Though there are bad things that are
happening, still, good things are as infinite as the raindrops
when it’s raining.” For me, teaching is like being in love. You
are in ecstasy. You feel great the whole time even if you’ve had a
bad day. You know you are fulfilled but you can’t describe it, no
words can truly capture what you’re feeling inside. Even if you’re
tired as hell.<br />
<br />
Yeah, there’s no money in teaching—but the
everyday connection with our students is just so priceless. Even
if we gathered all the money in the whole wide world, it will
never have value compared to what we undergo and are about to
undergo. We may never be rich in our job, but our lives are
getting richer every day. Read the source opinion in the Philippine Inquirer at this link<br />

<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-01Xem-FdWR8/UhReGoIXFbI/AAAAAAAAAqI/TKEfh1dwYQM/s1600/english.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="164" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-01Xem-FdWR8/UhReGoIXFbI/AAAAAAAAAqI/TKEfh1dwYQM/s320/english.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>

For example, those doctors, nurses, seamen, teachers, domestic
helpers (and really just college graduates in general) who speak
English well have an edge on the rest and are able to work abroad,
thanks largely to their competency in English. They help make
Philippine migrant workers one of the largest migrant worker
groups in the world. Indeed, the more than 10 million Filipino
workers abroad have managed to prop up the Philippine economy by
sending some $16 billion back home to their families last year,
amounting to the fourth largest level of total remittances in the
world, and accounting for almost 12 percent of the country’s
entire GDP. Indeed, remittances from overseas workers have time
and again made it possible for the country to survive many crises,
and they will perhaps help it weather the current financial
crisis.<br />
<br />
Since the economy depends on the ofw and the call centers for a major part of its spending power,,,,,its like the ostrich has stuck his head in the sand ignoring English is the economic driver of the the country!<br />
<br />
Call-center agents, Filipinos chatting on their headsets to
inquiring English-speaking customers half a world away, were
supposed to provide the answer to <a class="inform_link" href="http://www.csmonitor.com/tags/topic/Philippines" rel="nofollow" target="_self">the
Philippines</a>’ economy. They could be drawn from the country’s
famously large pool of English speakers to tap into the lucrative
offshoring and outsourcing (O&O) market.<br />
<br />
But employers in the industry say they now have to reject 95 of 100
job applicants because their English proficiency is inadequate.
<br />
<br />
A country where spoken English once ranked as an official
language has seen its collective proficiency slide over the years,
even as the economic importance of the english has grown. The
decline stems in part from nationalist campaigns to promote
Filipino and from inattention in schools, which the government is
taking steps to undo.<br />
<br />
Employers say it is increasingly difficult to find people with
adequate English, and some O&O employers think the labor
supply has dried up.<br />
<h2>
English once dominated</h2>
The shortage is ironic given that the Philippines once boasted,
with some justification, of being the world’s third largest
Anglophone country.<br />
<br />
<br />
If students’ math and science scores are poor, their performance
in English is even worse. <br />
“If we do not supply the demand, then we will lose our business,”
Garcia says. “We will always need the English language.” Teachers please take note too!<br />

<br />
MANILA, Philippines - The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural
Organization (UNESCO) highlighted the importance of giving teachers the
"recognition and support they deserve" as countries celebrate World Teachers'
Day today, October 5. It has chosen "Take a stand for teachers" as this year's
theme.<br />
<br />
"Teachers are the custodians of learning; they impart knowledge, values and
skills; at their best, they tap into the hopes and talents of young people and
help them to grow into productive citizens. Yet too often, teachers are not
given the recognition and support they deserve," said UNESCO director-general
Irina Bokova in a message published in the UNESCO website.<br />
<br />
"On World Teachers Day, I pay tribute to the millions of teachers around the
world who are working with passion and skill to nurture their students and whose
influence on our world is potentially profound. Let us recognize that investing
in teachers is a wise investment in our efforts to build strong economies,
cohesive societies and a future of dignity and opportunity for all," Bokova
said<br />

the department’s P293-billion budget was intended to end the backlog in
facilities for public school children.<br />
<br />
<br />
During the budget hearing, Tinio also pitched for higher
pay for volunteer kindergarten teachers, as well as for the regularization of
all 23,000 of them. The volunteer teachers get a P3,000 honorarium a month, but
could get up to P6,000 if they teach two sessions.<br />
<br />
Luistro said about 8,000 of them were scheduled to be
regularized in 2013.<br />
<br />
Aside from hiring 61,000 new
teachers, the education department would procure 907,000 seats and 31 million
textbooks and other learning materials, Undersecretary Francis Varela said. <br />

But in reality, companies are having increasing difficulty finding employees. Problems include overbearing bureaucracy and a focus on rote learning rather than critical thinking and comprehension. The curriculum in most places is outdated and disconnected from the real world. <a href="http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748703515504576142092863219826.html?mod=WSJAsia_hpp_LEFTTopStories"> Click here to read complete article</a><br />

Computer scientists and programmers<span style="font-family: Arial;">But engineers are in high demand abroad and a good number of OFWs are highly paid skilled engineers. Then again, not all engineers are created equal. There are also some types of engineers more in demand atcertain times than others. It seems that these days, it is all about computer engineering.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;">As for salaries, NYT reports that “Google is paying computer science majors just out of college $90,000 to $105,000, as much as $20,000 more than it was paying a few months ago. That is so far above the industry average of $80,000 that start-ups cannot match Google salaries.”</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"> The Times continues: “…the shortage of qualified engineers has grown acute in the last six months… Nationwide unemployment among computer scientists and programmers is higher than in other white-collar professions – around five percent… But even with a glut of engineers on the job market, few have the skills that tech companies look for, said Cadir Lee, chief technology officer at Zynga.<br />
<br />
“Colleges rarely teach the newer programming languages like PHP, Ruby and Python, which have become more popular at young Web companies than older ones like Java, he said. Other skills, like working with large amounts of data and analytics, can be acquired only at a few companies.”<br />
