Review Scandal for NAT

Education in the Philippines is now corrupted!!

Maybe you will say this is an old topic about corruption in financial aspect!  A big no.. This is a corruption on students/pupils' mind. Public education is free! But please don't make it so much free with no effort at all.

I was riding on public utility jeepney on wy way to my work  were iIwas together with the two teacher coming from a secondary public school.  The first one was telling about her colleague who was assigned in Samar  maybe a remote place. (FYI Samar schools garnered high result in NAT) What caught my attention was their method of reviewing in order to get a high score every examination. School from one of that area has a copy of answer key two days before the examination date. Therefore they can review in 2 days unlike what this teacher whom i together with doing in preparation for that exam.   Their strategy is to have an early review that will not guarantee an assurance of what may come out to that upcoming examination.  Aside from this too much effort for them since every weekend they still going back to school sacrficing their time for their family just to have a review.  Hero in their small way..

Hayyyyyyyyyyyyy
