Especially for Filipino Community, are you in favor of cybereducation in the Philippines?

Answer 1

For some it will work and be a great benefit and I believe in it, of course there will be some who will not be able to start off like this but eventually everyone can come up to the same speed. Its the only way to make progress, you have to take a step forward or you eventually either stay the same or go back.

Answer 2

I think cyber-education for the Philippines would be a great idea. As long as the teachers are based in the Philippines, classes requiring on-hands learning are not included, and accredited certifications are frequently monitored.

This could open up more jobs and opportunities for teachers in the Philippines to also teach online. It can create a competitive market between online teaching and traditional teaching salaries that can help boost teachers' wages.

Online education can also help reduce the expenses students are burdened from such as books and gas/travel fares. At the same token, it can also help improve the environment. Books are turned into electronic form and can be downloaded and printed online only when necessary (saves oxygen-producing trees). Classes are conducted through secured Internet connections eliminating travel time and costs (reduces traffic and pollution). Behind the scenes, more students and teachers will become more Internet savvy and familiar with computer technology.

The expenses involved in building/maintaining a large school complex would be substantially reduced which should decrease the costs for student tuition. This can allow more of the lower class an opportunity in obtaining an education which can lead to better jobs. The statistics in the number of educated individuals in the Philippines will move in a positive direction which in turn will also improve the Philippine economy.

Answer 3

No, not yet.
This is like admitting that our current teachers/teaching methods/curriculum are as ineffective as they really are.
It also sounds like someone is going to be pocketing a lot of money on this.
I don't think we are ready yet for this, it sounds like it's going to benefit the upper classes more then the masses who really need quality (and affordable) education.
