The Need for School of Practical Intelligence

Since young, I've always been fascinated of going to school of waking up early, standing in lines, listening to teachers, taking tests and so forth and so on. Now that I got a chance to get involved into the education system, it frustrated me to find out that this cycle of schooling might be soon obsolete.
It frustrated me that students study for more or less twenty years; but after College, the graduates lack competence. Concerns like difficulty in finding job after College is still a big problem.
Debates on who and what's to blame in the decline of Philippine education system. Some say it's because of the system in general--that it must get reformed as soon as possible. Some say it's the schools' curriculum. Some say it's the teachers' competence. For some, the students get what they deserve.
Problems such as corruption in Philippine education system, classroom itself and management, student-teacher ration, etc. It's frustrating to enumerate all the problems of Philippine education since at this point it must be reformed and get a lot more funds from the Philippine government.

 Here are published articles regarding problems on Philippine education.

Problems are rooted from the heads of the Philippine education down to the parents and students. Each area of a problem is still rooted and webbed to another and more.

These problems won't get solved unless the government and the heads of the Philippine Education system to be more practical.
