GLOBAL ISSUES WORKSHEET APPLICATION

INSTRUCTIONS WILL BE GIVEN IN CLASS

1. Based on the top ten global issues and the 17 DGSs choose one global issue/SDG and give
suggestions on what schools must do to address the issue.

2. What moves has the Philippine government taken to ensure equitable access to education for
all its citizens?

3. Poverty is ranked # 4 among the top issues cited by World Economic Forum’s Global
Shapers Survey in 2017, education is supposed to liberate people from poverty. The Philippines
has a comparatively higher literacy rate. Based on the Literacy Statistics, Functional literacy,
Education and Mass Media Survey (FLEMMS) of 2013, 96.5 percent of Filipinos were literate,
an improvement from 95.6% in 2008. How come the Philippines has one of the highest number
of educated people and yet we remain to be “islands of affluence amidst a sea of poverty”
meaning poverty bounds?
Can this be traced to poor quality of Philippine education? Why or why not?

4. Go over the K to 12 Curriculum Guide. Find out where these global issues and SDGs are
integrated. If you find one or more not integrated in the K to 12 Curriculum, identify points of
integration in the curriculum. Use the matrix below for your answer.

Global Issue/SDG In what subject and topic can it be integrated

5. Some blame the Philippines corruption problem, on the merging of Filipino traditions with
American institutions. One Filipino political scientist told Smithsonian magazine, “Americans
taught us the idea of honesty and integrity in civil service but local culture conflicts with the
democratic model. With no tradition of civil service and the prevalence of strong family and
community ties, bribery and nepotism have seeped into the system. Do you agree?
