The Issue
The Philippines is ranked 114th out out of 180 countries from least to most corrupt - Diane Sampang - INQUIRER.net September 03 2025
Philippines is ranked bottom of the PISA test for creative thinking - Christina Chi - Philstar.com June 19 2024
The Philippines is plagued with systemic corruption especially in the government. This is one of the major reason why it has very poor quality of education in it’s public schools. Families living in poverty or below the poverty line cannot afford quality education offered by private schools.
