As what Dr. Jose P. Rizal, our national hero said, “Angkabataanangpag-asangbayan.” I may say that “Angedukasyonangpag-asangmgakabataan.”

          Education as the basic need in this ever fast changing technology and resources is the best investment for the future of our children and of our country.

          This is the reason why rich parents send their children to exclusive and expensive schools. This is also the reason of poor parents why they are working so hard just to send their children even in public schools. This is also the reason why working students make nights into days just to earn money to support their studies. This is also the reason why graduate students take up master’s degree and doctoral degree. This is also the reason why the education is the common goal and national concern of every Filipino and government. The government allot the biggest budget for the education of the Filipino…this is because “Education is the best investment for the future.”

          As always, education is the foundation of learning. Education is necessary to develop every individual’s talent, skills, intellect, morale, social and emotional aspects to get them ready to face the different trials in the future.

          In this fast changing, challenging and competitive world, children should be fully-equipped educationally in order to survive.
