REPORT CARD: ANG ANTAS NG EDUKASYON SA PILIPINAS

In 2001, the United Nations established the Millennium Development Goals (MDG) that aims to improve the quality of life of millions of people around the world. Among the goals set is to provide basic primary education for all by 2015. With this deadline looming in the horizon, how is the state of education in the country? Does it merit a passing or a failing grade? In a special documentary, veteran broadcaster Mike Enriquez and popular actor and education advocate Dingdong Dantes probe the issues behind the many problems that stop countless Filipinos from learning and getting access to their basic right to education. Witness the daily sacrifices of teachers who wade through shoulder-deep rivers to reach children in need of education. Meet students who, in their thirst for knowledge, write lessons on leaves for lack of notebooks. And find heroes willing to cross the sea to deliver free supplies to students desperate for learning. Don’t miss, “REPORT CARD: Ang Antas ng Edukasyon sa Pilipinas” on July 31, 10:15 PM, on Sunday Night Box Office (SNBO) on GMA-7. --Text and photo courtesy of GMA Network
