Current Primary And Secondary Education In Our Country

Current primary and secondary education in our country

At present, education both in public or private schools at the primary and secondary level is no longer the same as a few years ago, now with technology control and values ​​in adolescents have been lost. Likewise, it is not only the fault of the teachers or directive part of the educational institution but also of the same parents who do not care about the education of their children and especially the lack of support of the Peruvian State. As we can see in Peru there are only 17 % of students studying both private and public and other people work or do nothing productive for life.

This is due to different problems, in recent years children have more rights and this makes the authority that the teacher has within the classroom, also the teachers can no longer raise their voice to the students, because they themselves could report to the Ministry of Education and get the teacher for the complaints of their own students from their workplace. Before starting to talk about education, this topic covers many points as we have mentioned. Seeing the news Primary and Secondary level teachers receive a salary of 1. 200 soles per month which is something unheard of, since the student training or the progress of Peru depends on them.

Likewise, some teachers study by vocation to the service are trained by doing their masters, going to a conference and especially competing to the exams given by the Ministry of Education to obtain a more worthy salary.

By having good teachers trained in schools, it facilitates the learning of their students, providing them with the basic knowledge necessary so that they can understand the lessons, also offering them the necessary methods and resources to respond to their interests, motivations and capacities. The teacher has to favor a pleasant work environment, in which the spontaneity of the students and their interest in learning takes place. To do this, it is necessary to favor the contributions and suggestions of the students. Finally, the teacher must carry out continuous and personalized of each student, evaluating the progress.

However, another group of teachers do not feel committed in their workplace some of the factors may not choose their true vocation or because it was their only career option. Not having trained teachers can cause you not to have a good domain with students, in some cases in my student experience you have been able to observe that teachers receive bribes in parts of students to approve a course or spend the year.

This can be noted with the exams that are carried out every year both in state schools and in rural areas to see the progress or achievements and the results are fatal, levels of low yields in understanding of texts, mathematics and sciences and sciences are continued. As we see there is no doubt that the current education system highlights the poor results obtained by students. According to the 2009 Pisa tests, Peru is located in 63 in understanding of texts and mathematics, and in the 64th position in science, of a total of 65 countries. With this, it is located in the last place among the countries of Latin America that paid the evidence in the subjects of understanding texts and sciences, and in the penultimate in the area of ​​mathematics. Studies carried out that students who obtain the lowest results in performance evaluations are those who have teachers who show the lowest domain of the content they teach.

The problem is not recent in Peruvian students. Already in the 90s, González (1996), he conducted various investigations, whose results indicated, in general, that the students of the last years of high school and initial university students “exhibit a disappointing level of reader performance, which also explains the bass academic yields." (p. 211).

Although they try to seek excuses and criticisms are avoided, the truth is that the bad results are direct consequences of the State that does not care about education. The analysis shows that teachers from state educational institutions, unlike their non -state peers, have to self-manage to greater extent the materials they use in day to day for the dictation of classes. They also state that one of the main factors that limit their educational work is the lack of educational materials, either because they are insufficient or because they are inadequate. This aspect raises the need, by the State, to grant the necessary resources so that the teaching staff of the state educational institutions carry out their work, and better regulate the working conditions of the teaching staff of non -state educational institutions.

Peru is the country that invests the least in education in South America, taking into account the percentage of GDP. Just 3.7% of GDP is allocated to educational activities, thus, the average budget of a regular school per student is 459 soles. If we make a comparison with neighboring countries, we have that Venezuela, Bolivia and Brazil allocate at least 6%. Without investment, much can be done, except to try to use the resources that are already maximum.

Another very important point is the parents who do not care about the education of their children, before the parents came to school and they were pending of it there was also a commitment and especially the parents had authority over their children both in my experience educational if we did not do the tasks we were punished and the students also respected the teacher now those values ​​have been lost with technology. In conclusion, the misconduct of the students generates emotional and physical wear in the teacher.

According to the Global Competitiveness Report 2017-2018 of the World Economic Forum, Peru occupies the 127th position as education system, from 137 countries studied. In turn, being the basis for the development of the country, there are many urgent challenges that are still pending to improve education and be able to consolidate ourselves as an economically and socially stable country.

One of the big problems in education is to reduce illiteracy according to data from the Ministry of Education (MINEDU), the illiteracy rate in Peru is 5.9%, being more than 1 million 300 thousand people who do not know how to read or write. Likewise, illiterate people are very small of having a formal job and are more prone to their relatives present the same difficulties.

Therefore, companies that want to evolve, care more about the capacity for reasoning and the attitude of which they incorporate. Access to Higher Education according to the statistics of Educational Quality (Scale) of the Ministry of Education, only 3 out of 10 young people access higher education in Peru. A really low figure that is mainly due to the economic issue. The fact that they do not study hinders access to stable and formal work, which is reflected in statistics: 1.4 million young people between 15 and 29 years do not study or work. This often gives way to young people falling into vices such as game or drug addiction. In this sense, the support of private companies through scholarships and investment constitutes one of the main ways to reduce the gap and support talent.

To improve the country’s education and have quality professionals SUENEDU must continue with the licensing of universities. One of the most important steps in terms of higher education is to ensure educational quality. While Sunedu has initiated the national licensing of universities, there are still many that are on their way to achieve it. Of 143 universities that exist in the country, 54 have licensing, that is, more than half do not yet carry out this process.

In summary, the State is investing large amounts of money in education and has the right to demand good results, and that its money does not invest in luxurious buildings. Teachers must also teach their students to think so that they have their own criteria.

As we see most of the subjects do not require memorization and, nevertheless, the teachers both primary and secondaryly insist that students continue to memorize data that they can easily obtain by different means. If we do not manage to motivate the students and interest them in the different subjects, then the future professionals will have at the end of their studies a degree that will only help them hang it on the wall.
