Item Restricted The quantity-quality trade-off in the Philippine public elementary and secondary education system(2001-10) Atis, Farida Teresa C.; de Leon, Destiny V.; Lim, JosephItem Restricted Public education and employment(2003-04) Dizon, Cristine Ines N.; Lumboy, Jewel Therese D.; Alburo, FlorianThere are many ways to increase employment. One is to develop the skills and knowledge of the people through education.

This paper shows that the government budget for elementary education has a better impact on reducing the unemployment rate among those who completed elementary· education compared to the government budget for secondary education. The technical results of the study show that the elementary unemployment rate has a negative relationship with the budget for elementary education. The key policy implications is that since elementary level is the optimum level that will improve the country's employment situation, this should be the priority of the government in allocating its resources.Item Restricted Meeting the millennium development goal for education: can the Philippines make it?(2008-03) Guinto, Celeni Kristine G.; Rabe, Honlani Ruth J.This research studies the trends of the magnitude of Philippine government spending on education, as compared to the net enrolment rates of the country. In comparing it with the performance of other Asia-Pacific countries in their cost-effectiveness in generating educational outcomes, the research shows the likelihood of the Philippines achieving the universal primary education goal of the Millennium Development Goals. Results show that it is unlikely that the Philippines will achieve the goal by 2015, even if it adapts the expenditure-outcome elasticities of successful countries. Finally, the paper wraps up with policy suggestions to improve cost- effectiveness in the country.Item Restricted Public educational expenditure patters in the Philippines (1969-1980)(1982-01) Caber, Rosario M.
