Case Study

A case study is a research method involving an up-close, in-depth, and detailed examination of
a particular case. Case studies are analysis of persons, groups, events, decisions, periods,
policies, institutions or other systems that are studied holistically by one or more methods
which is aimed to generalize over several units. Researchers describe how case studies examine
complex phenomena in the natural setting to increase understanding of them.

Globalization and the Philippines’ Education System

Concept:

Some fifty years ago, the Philippines emerged from three centuries of Spanish colonialism and another
five decades of US rule. In the euphoria of statehood, modern schooling that had been significantly
shaped under American tutelage promised hope and mobility for individuals and economic progress for
the country. After fifty years of post-colonial development, it is imperative to reflect on the value of
education in the lives of more than 70 million Filipinos.

The Philippines is a beautiful island nation of warm-hearted, intelligent, and resourceful people. Yet,
thousands of children struggling to survive on the streets are deprived of basic education. The urban
poor suffer from homelessness as they work in jobs that do not adequately provide for their basic needs.
In the countryside, the rural majorities eke out a marginal existence. Meanwhile the flow of Filipinos
abroad to seek work has become a torrent, yielding two billion dollars of remittances to an economy
burdened with crippling debts. Throughout the archipelago, resource extraction, boosted by export-
oriented growth-first economic policies and strategies, leaves a trail of irreversible environmental
destruction. Even after the downfall of the Marcos dictatorship, social and political conflicts
continuously surface as the dominant modernization paradigm of development aggravates social
injustice and sparks armed revolutionary struggles. The increasing spread of globalization towards the
end of the last century has placed even weightier burdens of poverty, indebtedness, and marginalization
on the shoulders of the vulnerable majority of Filipino children, women, and men.

Scanning this societal landscape, it is certainly meaningful to ask what role education in the
modernization paradigm has played in the complexities of national and international development.

Problem:

Objectives:

1. Encourage HEIs to improve or enrich higher education curricula and undertake educational innovation
or reforms to cope with emerging needs and demands of a newly industrializing country; . . . 3. Provide
attractive incentive for students to pursue scientific engineering, and technology programmes and other
programmes related to the strategic needs of the country

Research questions:
1. In the face of numerous social, economic, political, and cultural problems, does the Philippines
educational system bear any responsibility or accountability?

2. Most importantly, can and should educational values, practices and structures be transformed so that
they can help build a nation based on the principles of justice, human rights, non-violence, and
democracy?
