MANY TEACHERS LACK OF PROPER TRAINING AND EDUCATIONAL QUALIFICATIONS

Lack of access to health care and good hygiene practices can keep children at home as well.

Missing school because of frequent sickness can put a child behind his peers and increase dropout rates. Widespread disease, such as the Ebola epidemic in Western Africa and the COVID-19 pandemic, can halt the learning process altogether. If a child does not have access to technology and the ability to attend classes remotely, or if schools close outright, theyareunabletocontinuetheireducation.

Poor

nutrition can interfere with a child's ability to learn.

Without proper meals and nutrients, a child's brain has a harder time with cognitive function, creating challenges with focus and memory. Some schools can supply meals for children, which can help. Still, if meals are not available, and families cannot providefood,achild'slearningcansuffer.

All of these barriers loom larger for special needs children, who may struggle to keep up in a classroom in the best of circumstances. Globally, 95% of children with disabilities will drop out of schoolbeforehighschool.

Adoracion Navarro, assessed the adequacy of school infrastructure in the country’s basic education sector in terms of the adequacy of classrooms; access to water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) facilities; electricity access; and information and communications technology (ICT) access

In terms of adequacy of classrooms, the study found that while there had been progress in decongesting schools at the national level, spatial inequality in regional classroom-student ratios still exists.

Department of Education (DepEd

Recent data from the Department of Education (DepEd) showed that classroom-student ratios for various levels in the National Capital Region, Region IV-A, Region XI, and the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao are higher than the 1:40 classroom-student target ratio set by the Philippine Development Plan (PDP) 2017-2022 According to Navarro, this indicated classroom congestion in these regions
