Identity crisis in our universities

[uls]

Culture yan.

Dito sa atin, education is just something to get over with as soon as possible. More like an obstacle than a source of enlightenment.

So naturally, people dont really care about quality or if they learn anything. who cares about quality and learning when all that really matters is getting the diploma.

Follow the movement of market forces... if i cant get my diploma from the big name universities, there will always be some other university out there who will give me a diploma. Kaya ang dami nagsulputan mga school sa atin. There is strong demand for finishing school... but there's little demand for quality education.

we are diploma driven rather than knowledge driven.

Our prevailing culture is--- to get ahead, all u need is lakas ng loob, good looks, and diskarte. Look at those undereducated personalities in showbiz and govt. They are nowhere near being role models for education.

But they made it. That sends signals to our people ---- who needs education?

Kaya ang dami sumasali sa Starstruck.
