Education via a networked school service

Education, an important source of beginnings in different aspects. It is what brings realization, curiosity, imagination and the like to the instinct of human nature. It is the mother of knowledge. The reason as to why in continuing times people question everything.

It is sad to say however, not everyone is blessed with the opportunity to go through it due to the lack of resources. In our country, the Philippines, a great population of the masses and those living in the rural provinces are uneducated. Despite the combination of want and need for knowledge those who are in these areas are robbed of that opportunity because of their social status.

Last Friday, November 12, our class visited Bagac, Bataan. A school was put up by the De La Salle brothers. The Jaime Hilario Integrated School La Salle. The class was tasked to teach different grade levels on different topics given by our professor.

Our group's topic was about flood control to be taught to grade 2 students. The area was near the river and the ocean. Therefore, if rain would come it would be easy for water to reach their areas. It was mentioned to us that thorough planning was not really made. It was the result of the genuine desire to help these people who clearly were in need.

It was not easy teaching grade 2 students. Their energies were hyped when we were there. They listened to us as we spoke, however, when it came to the activities they were all out that it might have turned into a mess. These are kids, what could we do? Still trying to take the situations in control our lecture and games with them ended peacefully but quite late due to the fun we were having.

Standing on the different side of the table showed me the importance of education in everyone. These students who have been given the opportunity are lucky as we are for being able to experience it. Sadly, some just waste it away unmindful of the doors that would open before them with this in their arsenal.

There is a vast ocean of information to be gathered as knowledge. Learning never ends as everything around us keeps changing.
