How Politics Can Affect The Public Education System

They usually rely on the state funding for the school or university to continue its run. And this is the situation to other country’s local public education system.

A state education system will most likely be affected by any political issue they might face. Especially if it pertains to the overall budget of the state.

If they deem to add or deduct from the annual budget they usually allocate to education, it will definitely take a toll on the quality of education they give.

But financial momentum is not the only political factor that can affect a country’s educational system. Political affiliation and even communism is one big factor as well.

A Real-Life Example

The Philippines in Asia are experiencing this kind of problem with its state colleges as the students are taking the side of the communist which the State considers as rebels. The student leaders are boldly leaving classes to conduct mass rallies to express their disgust to the government.

But the President himself is standing on his ground firm, that these powers behind the student movement are State Enemies, and is even considering stripping them of their academical luxury. Because of all of these, countless classes had been stopped prematurely because of the commotion done, up to enforcing police force to the campus grounds.
