Technology’s Impact on Education – The Philippines
It’s 2020 and there is no arguing that technology plays a vital role in our lives. Technology
does everything from allowing us to explore the vast expanse of our solar system to helping
us kill a few minutes while we wait for our bus. So, it is no surprise that technology has a
major impact on education. Although many schools across the world are taking advantage of
technology in the classroom, others are not so lucky. A technology gap currently exists in
schools of the Philippines that is preventing its students from enjoying the advantages
provided by technology in the classroom.
The Philippines as a country would benefit greatly from providing more of its students with
high-tech learning tools. A WorldRemit article explains that “especially in emerging
countries, such as the Philippines” it is important that “students can get familiar with
technology at a young age.” This is because technology “sparks many market possibilities –

even a chance to compete against developed economies!” Unfortunately, for impoverished
areas of the country, that is not the current reality.
Filipino students suffering from the technology gap are the ones that would benefit the most
from these educational tools. Fortunately, certain conditions do appear to be improving for
the Philippines. According to a Rappler article, the internet is becoming more accessible
across the country.

Reflection
Is technology changing the way schools are being led? How are schools being
impacted by technology?
Today, we are facing a global health crisis, and online classes are one of the best
solutions in education. Technology has been seen to have an impact on education in many
different ways. It is no longer just a tool that’s used to enable learning but has become a vital
part of the learning environment. The Philippines itself, with an increasing rate of internet
usage, has seen how it can be used both inside and outside of classrooms for teaching and
learning purposes.
There are numerous uses of technology in schools, ranging from delivering lectures to
providing learning support. Education technology has changed the way schools are being led.
The use of instant messaging platforms has opened up a new avenue for teachers and learners
to communicate with each other outside of traditional school hours. This allows students to
raise questions which they have about their schoolwork.
As a future educator, I will be the one to teach the importance of education. However,
some several issues and dilemmas may arise while pursuing education. Furthermore, I will
ensure that everyone succeeds and that no one is left behind.
