Mathematics plays an important role in the academe. It is one of the most valued subject matter in the Educational system all over the country. Students are taking this from elementary, secondary, tertiary until Doctoral degree (for some individuals who will pursue Mathematics-related degree in Doctoral degree). In order to solve a problem, the first step is to understand it. Knowing the situation is key to providing the appropriate solution. Again, this parallels good practice in medicine. A correct diagnosis is necessary to make the right prescription. It is important to have the data that inform and in both science and math education, without paying attention to evidence leads to solutions that are based on wild guesses, preconceived …show more content…
All levels of education in the Philippines have deteriorated over several decades, faced with an increasing young population that has outstripped available resources. Yet rapid economic progress, attracting high levels of investment, and moving into knowledge-based services, require a well-educated workforce with appropriate skills for a middle income economy. Maintaining and improving national competitiveness also requires much improved education. The WEF Global Competitiveness Report ranks the quality of the education systems of 139 countries. The Philippines ranked 69th, just behind Thailand and Vietnam, but is declining and will remain the lowest rated in the ASEAN-6 if it does not pursue strong educational reform. “The quality of Philippine education and its output are deteriorating to such distressing levels that the country now ranks among the poorest performers in East Asia.” Gearing Up the Nation for Growth and Competitiveness, Congress Secretariat Planning Workshop, House of Representatives, July 2007.

While most of the mathematics teachers were qualified and experienced, they did not use any teaching aids other the illustrations on the blackboard. Yet they felt that the subject is easy for the pupils to learn. Similarly the students felt that the subject is useful in their lives for their careers would be determined by the subject‘s results.
