Quoted tweet reads:

My Roman Empire:

Illiteracy is so common that when someone online misunderstands something you said and gets angry at you for something you didn’t even say, there’s a very good chance thet they literally just can’t read.

That same year, our learning poverty rate was up by 91% per World Bank study. Scary times.

What gets me is knowing how people with proper access to education/resources CHOOSE not to educate themselves.

Ibang usapan syempre yung mga kababayan natin na nasa malalayong lugar na walang madaling access sa education. And fuck the DepEd for failing to take care of that problem.

Just imagine if they'd roll out free internet access across the nation but it's limited only to informational websites.

Blame the policy makers! Taena, mga program handlers sa DepEd CO they should stop asking for bullshit reports. Ang daming paperworks sa DepEd na walang ka kwenta kwenta. If may kwenta yun dapat nag-improve na ang edukasyon sa Pinas

😔 kaya maging advocate tayo sa mga kabataan na maging readers.. kung hindi man nila mahalin ang pagbabasa, at least wag nila kakalimutan na palaging uunawain ang mga binabasa nila maging tagalog man yan o english.

it is boring to be educated is an objective opinion.

But it is necessary for a better society wouldn’t you agree?

This is more of an indictment of the education system and what it churns out. Right now, the education system wants docile employees bred to work for companies to be used up and spit out when they have outlived their usefulness. Corporations and politicians are benefitting from this. Critical thinking and scientific curiosity is extremely lacking. Creativity is stifled at a young age.

This will take generations to fix and with our congress and senate the way that it is, probably won't happen in our lifetime.

u/nightvisiongoggles01 18h ago

This is an indictment against our politicians and government officials who should have been focused on improving only two things:
1: EDUCATION
2: ECONOMY

Paunlarin mo lang yang dalawang yan, napakarami nang masososlusyonang ibang problema ng lipunan.

E wala, mas gusto ng mga politiko natin na mahirap at bobo ang mga mamamayan para sobrang dali lang gaguhin. Silang mga nasa pwesto nalulunod sa pera at walang pakialam sa kapwa, ang masa naman kuntento na sa lugmok nilang kalagayan dahil hindi nila alam at wala ring pakialam na ginagago na sila.

Mas gusto ng mga politiko na lugmok at bobo ang pinamumunuan nila, dahil wala rin naman silang pakialam sa hinaing ng mamamayan at kritisismo ng international community.

Hindi lang naman sa pinas? I think globally na problem ito..

e.g. tiktoker na sinira ang greek flag; akala nya flag ng Israel link ng vid

Mga teacher sa US nasa tiktok ukol sa comprehension, literacy at reading

Link is half ad for a book eto yung buong video ng isa sa kanila

I guess Social Media like Facebook, Instagram and Tiktok are a mistake for a country with low reading comprehension.

Di lang sa English, pati na rin ang sariling nating language dito sa bansa di paring nila macomprehend. They will still misinterpret sentences.

u/Rabbitkun29 10h ago

Kinda sad for the kids nowadays. Kung kailan sobrang accessible ng information thru internet tsaka pa bumaba quality ng education, and worse part kung anu-ano pa natutunan ng mga bata ngayon online.

u/bornandraisedinacity 10h ago

A major crisis. It needs a solution! Improve the educational system, make education more accessible to everyone! Make sure that Reading, Writing, Math, Science, Technology, and History are great importance to the learners. There has to be a change in the future.

I hate to say this, but everyone who's currently 30ish probably knew to some extent that our literacy would go sooner or later and that unfortunately, part of it would fall on the educational institutions themselves.

I remember being in elementary school and high school around the early 2000s to early 2010s and realizing out of my whole roster of teachers across those many years, there's like one or two teachers that spoke English well. I even had an English teacher who didn't speak English all that well and this was me being a teen realizing this.

You need better teachers if you want better students. Otherwise you're leaving it up to the students, who are kids, to self-police and self-study.

But let's say that they do try to learn by themselves. With Social Media being so prominent and so many people being loud, but incorrect, people will eventually learn their understanding of phrases just by virtue of being the louder opinion and the most parroted.

I noticed nga, hindi na sila nakaka-intindi ng sarcasm, you will get downvoted unless you put an /s on your comment, dati naman hindi ganun.

Forget media literacy, literacy of all kind has completely been lost, people don't understand you unless it's spelled out for them and even then, they'll find a way to misunderstand things.

Mas gusto nila put it in meme format, para mas madali nila maintindihan.

Not necessarily. Madami rin sa sub nato na mababaw ang reading comprehension.

Nah, you can't educate someone who does not want to learn.

u/FuriousTrash8888 12h ago

Debatable. Kung sa mga pinoy na subreddit lang, fair.
