19.4 Million Students

“.81 million pre-schoolers, 13.9 million elementary students, 5.56 million high school students or 19.4 million students back to school today.” Phil Star June 1, 2009.

The Department of Health ( DOH ) and the Department of Education ( DepEd ) officials are on alert amid concerns of possible outbreak of Influenza virus in campuses.

For my part, as the chairman of the high school dropout Association of the Philippines, I should be more concerned for these millions of students ending up to be among the Sick Man of Asia in the future. They too will be taught to hold in deep faith that there will be a better world to come after death, and that after education, there will be a better country to go to and enjoy a higher standard of living and thinking, and indeed, remuneration.
