How to Classify
One way of classifying objects or ideas is to look for relationships among them and to organize
them into groups. It may either be on the basis of their similarities or differences. Try to find the
similarities or differences of the words listed below by classifying them into identifiable
categories. Explain why you group the words in those categories.
Ignition Vietnam Conjunction Albert Bandura Gloria Arroyo
Car seat Cambodia Noun John Dewey Rodrigo Duterte
Break System Philippines Verb Benigno Aquino III
Engine Oil Singapore Adjective Fidel Ramos
System
Wiring harness

- I grouped them based on the specific category or classification they belong.


The passage on “Gendered Power Patterns” illustrates a simple form of classification. Let us try
and analyze the next passage on “Education in the Philippines” and article which is published in
Wikipedia.

Education in the Philippines


Education in the Philippines is provided by public and private schools, colleges, universities, and
technical and vocational institutions. Funding for public education comes from the national
government. At the basic educational level, the Department of Education (DepEd) sets overall
educational standards and mandates standardized tests for the K-12 basic education system,
although private schools are generally free to determine their own curriculum in accordance with
existing laws and Department Regulations. On the other hand, at the higher education level, the
Commission on Higher Education (CHED) supervises and regulates colleges and universities,
while the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) for technical and
vocational institutions regulates and accredits technical and vocational education programs and
institutions. For the academic year 2017-2018, about 83% of K-12 students attended public
schools and about 17% either attended private schools or were home-schooled.

By law, education is compulsory for thirteen years (kindergarten andgrades 1—12). These are
grouped into three levels: elementary school (kindergarten-grade 6), junior high school (grades
7-10), and senior high school(grades 11-12); they may also be grouped into four key stages: 1st
key stage (kindergarten-grade 3), 2nd key stage (grades 4-6), 3rd key stage (grades 7-10) and 4th
key stage (grades 11-12). Children enter kindergarten at age 5. Institutions of higher education
may be classified as either public or private college or university, and public institutions of high
education may further be subdivided into two types: state universities and colleges and local
colleges and universities.
