Top 20 Universities in the Philippines

[darkstar13]

slightly out of topic, pero everytime napapanood ko ang mga docu regarding students sa mga liblib na lugar na naglalakad ng at least 2 hours,
yung iba natawid pa ng bundok or ilog, para lang pumasok sa iskwela, naiiyak ako.

tapos makakasabay ko ang mga estudyante na kung anu anong kaartehan lang ang pinaguusapan.

In fairness to these schools being ranked among in the top, and in fairness to students and alumni of the same, they have already proven themselves the distinction they have now. I guess with such feat, one could only imagine what gruelling events these institutions have gone through before claiming these acclamations. I think that these schools deserve respect from schools that aren't mentioned here. No, it's not about boosting one's self esteem or heighten one's egocentricity. It is all about the typical endowment of honor that each person should give to respectable institutions. Allow me to give an example. An expert in your field (say in medicine or in accountancy) would deserve respect from neophytes of the same field. Even if that expert has in time showed imperfections, he sill deserve the respect because he has proven himself worthy of it.

And on the other note, one's object of admiration is relative. What may be admirable to one can be disguting for some. That is why there is variety of votes during election.

On one hand (oops tama na)
tama kayo na ang mga magagaling na estudyante ay mula sa mga magagaling na mga paaralan, pero sa tingin ko, hindi angkop na sabihing ang mga magagaling na tao ay galing sa mga magagaling na eskwelahan, o kaya, ang nalalaman ng tao ay base sa kanyang pinag-aralan. ganito na lang po, doc, lahat tayo ay mag kinalaman sa pag-unlad ng bansa. ang tao ay sinusukat sa kung paano siya umayon sa ginagalawan niya. kung yan ang inyong pananaw, iyon ay amin pong ginagalang.

[ctan]

Hindi naman ganun pong. :-) ang sinasabi ko lang, na huwag naman masyado lapastanganin ang mga eskwelahan na kabilang diyan sa listahan dahil may pinagdaanan na yan sila. Kumbaga, a kindergarten should not disrespect a college graduate. Oo, madaming bullsh*t talagang estudyante diyan sa university namin, pero may the university as a whole be given its due honor. :-)

at oo naman, I certainly agree na Hindi porke galing sa isang magaling na eskwelahan ang Tao magaling siya, or dahil magaling ang isang tao automatically galing siya sa top university. Isang halimbawa diyan ay ikaw. Alam kong napakagaling mo. Actually sobrang hanga ako sa yo. Ang deep ng thoughts mo, nonconventional, practical. Pero you claimed na di kasali sa top school yung paaralan mo. Eh yun. Kaya it's not what I really meant as you understood it.

alam ko naman yung point mo, doc. ang point ko lang talaga, bakit kailangan ng ganito? bakit kailangang i-rank ang lahat ng bagay? ang buhay ng tao ay hindi naman bigtime na contest. bottomline: lahat naman tayo pantay-pantay eh. parang sa desiderata: "If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain and bitter, for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself."

wag nating uriin yung mga PGG members na wala yung school nila sa listahan, kasi yang mga ranking eh matter lang ng opinyon. ok, may standards, may criteria for judging; pero walang batayan para uriin ang pag-iisip ng tao base sa mga pinag-aralan niya. ganun lang ang point ko doc. hehe, peace tayo ah baka mamaya pag pumunta ako sa EB may laser na naka-tutok sa ulo ko

[ctan]

Hahahaha! Gets na gets ko ang point mo pong. Naitanong ko Kung bakit nirarank pa ang mga schools kasi ang nasa isip ko, ginagawa ito ng mga kumpanya kasi binabase nila ang success dito. Tulad na lamang sa board exams. Pride iyon ng eskwelahan kung isa sa nga estudyante nila ay nagtop or yung school mismo kasama sa top performing school. Sa pamamagitan ng rankings na to, makakaakit ng competitive students ang isang eskwelahan.

Hindi rin naman ito isang paraan ng pagtatangi ng kapwa. Dahil ito naman ay isa lamang typical post kung saan nakakahanap ang isang pgg member ng bagay kung saan siya makakarelate. Dahil dito, maaari siyang lumahok sa mga diskusyon ukol sa talakaying ito.

Nais ko rin sana ibahagi na ang rankings na naipaskil dito ay isang paraan upang magawan ng makabuluhang pagdalumat ng sistema ng edukasyon sa ating bansa. Bakit sa isang napakaprestihiyosong pamantasan, nagkakaroon pa rin ng mga pasaway na mag-aaral? Saan sila nagkulang? Sa proseso ng pagtanggap? O sa proseso ng pagtuturo? Bakit sa mga paaralang nabanggit, napakadami ng magagaling na estudyante? Sa Kabila ng lahat, bakit hindi sila kasama sa ranking? So pamamagitan ng pagpost ko ng rankings na to, naway makita nga ng lahat yung dati ko pang paninindigan:

Success depends on BOTH the school and the student. Maaaring wala sa listahan ang eskwelahan pero ito ay nagbigay utmost care and learning sa estudyante, magaling ito para sa akin. At magaling nga yung eskwelahan, pero bulakbol naman ang mga estudyante, bale wala yung ranking Nila.

hala, serious kayo sa school topic nato.

feeling ko ito ang topic na ang mag reply ng mga tao ang hahaba.

tamad ako mag basa sa mahabang reply.

you don't have good teachers, you won't have good education. And you won't have good teachers if you keep paying teachers conscript wages. Which is what we have now: The salaries of teachers are criminal. Psychic income, which is the bulk of the income teachers get today, may be good for the soul but they do not buy the groceries. You raise the salaries of teachers (and reduce the budget of Cabinet secretaries, in direct inverse proportion), you recruit better teachers. You recruit better teachers, you'll get better ranking for schools, particularly the secular ones.

First off because it lacks a sense of history. If students did not make it a point to protest the protestable, or violently iniquitous, we might even now still be under martial law, with Marcos' generals in lieu of him overseeing it. It was the students who stormed out of their classrooms to protest Marcos when nobody else would, some of them marching up all the way to the hills, and kept the fires of freedom alive in the darkest pit of his rule. If the students had focused on their studies rather than swelling the ranks of the throng that gathered outside the camps, we might never have had an Edsa. Which harvest P-Noy has reaped, along with his people in Malacañang. Ingratitude is never a sign of grace.

Second off because it posits a myopic view of education. Education is not something you get in the classroom alone. It is not something you get from books alone, though you can get a lot of education there, enough to not need the classroom all. But that's another story. The students in fact are tending to their studies, if not indeed focusing on them, by being aware of the realities around them, by trying to do something about the realities around them

Learning, there is a world out there, that there is a value that goes beyond looking out for No. 1, is learning. It is studying. It is getting educated. The UP students protesting the SUCs being shoved into the backburner of budget priorities are living up to a glorious tradition, one the Collegian put this way: "Kung hindi ngayon, kailan pa? Kung hindi tayo, sino pa?" It was the students then and the students now who grasped the fundamental truth of that motto, the compelling imperative of that battle cry, who lived, and have lived, up to the ideal of being a iskolar ng bayan. They were and are the ones who have served the people.

The others? Well, they just focused on their studies in the narrowest sense of that idea and went abroad afterward, little caring about the country they left behind, crying, "Good riddance."

gayunaman, go tamaraws pa rin! haha!

To nurture children's full cognitive and affective engagement with learning tasks, teachers are advised to provide choice that reflects respect for student's own goals and learning agendas.

Exercising choice will foster self-awareness and intellectual self-control, allowing children to pause, consider and reflect to become responsible and autonomous.

To help counter boredom, both teachers and students must learn how to be autotelic—from Greek, meaning "self" and "goal". An autotelic person needs few possessions, little entertainment, no fame or power, because what he does is already rewarding.

An autotelic task is one student-and-teacher will do for its own sake because the experience is the goal. Curious and creative people are usually autotelic.

Many students who excel in school have learned to read for fun from a young age, and sustain the habit throughout their lives. They do not groan when they have to read lengthy novels or plays, and actually read entire books rather than rely on shortcuts or summaries.

good thing i didnt need any motivation to read when i started to learn it when i was a kid... especially in this country, where reading is not the favorite past time, where most people would rather watch TV, chat or just simply slack off.. especially in this country, where the government does not encourage it... when they almost successfully made reading reading more difficult by impsing new taxes..

Kids should see you reading! You cannot expect children to develop the reading habit when they see you slumped in front of the TV and barely read anything. Stress the value of reading over TV or computer games.

Make reading a family activity. Discuss books or news stories over dinner. Visit bookstores regularly. National Book Store sells used books, and so do Book Sale and Books for Sale. My friends rejoices in August and September because these are book sale months. We buy many books that we enjoy throughout the year.

BOW!

You raise the salaries of teachers (and reduce the budget of Cabinet secretaries, in direct inverse proportion), you recruit better teachers.

however, the whole issue will boil down to the exacerbating issue of the national budget, which is influenced mainly by how the Philippine economy is performing. there must be a check and balance in distributing finances in the national budget. increasing the budget allocation for the education sector drastically will debilitate the other facets of the national government. raising the budget for education a little bit will not help at all. and so the bottomline is that we could not actually demand dramatic increase in budget allocation for education as this will impede other government sectors.

in line with this, i believe that it is the robust cooperation of the school and student that will put to order the alleviation of the education status of the Philippines. despite the meager budget allocation, especially among state colleges and universities, the school must give its students the learning they deserve to get, and students should be giving 100% of their effort in order to learn and apply the things taught at school.

ano ba yan? hindi pa rin sumusuko si doc!
