The Philippine government is underinvesting in education despite a constitutional mandate prioritizing it, with funding below 6% of GDP. The 2024 budget allocates ₱717.6 billion to the Department of Education, but advocates argue this is insufficient for addressing teacher wages and resource needs. The lack of investment results in inadequate classrooms, outdated materials, and limited access to quality education, particularly in underserved areas, hindering national growth and development.
