“Frankly speaking, school heads and education officials openly encourage mass promotion as failing marks do not do good to the image of the school, affect the education agency’s ranking in the grant of performance-based bonus, and can hurt the Philippines’ performance in its commitment to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals,” he added.
Justine Raagas, PBEd executive director, said: “Participants across all education sectors were in unanimous agreement that one of the underlying causes of poor student learning outcomes was the unspoken but common practice of automatic or mass promotion.” “How do we expect students to focus on their lessons when they lack sufficient nourishment? What are we to do with learners who are absent in class most of the school year because they have to earn for their poor families, or they lack the needed guidance as parents toil day and night to make ends meet?” Quetua said.
