IMPLEMENTATION OF KOREAN AND OTHER FOREIGN LANGUAGES IN SCHOOL The Department of Education assured the public studying of Korean and other foreign languages is only an option given to students and is not intended to replace Filipino subject in the basic education curriculum. Aside from Korean, DepEd also implements Special Program in Foreign Language (SPFL) classes in Spanish, French, German, Chinese, and Japanese in all public schools. Education Secretary Leonor Briones maintained the subject Filipino remains as one of the core subjects in basic education. Filipino will continue as the medium of instruction for Araling Panlipunan and Edukasyon sa Pagpapakatao. The inclusion of the Korean language in the SPFL was formalized in June 2017 under a memorandum of agreement (MOA) between the Philippines and South Korea. As early as school year 2009-2010, DepEd has seen the need to develop the foreign language skills of students. SPFL is one of the six special programs being offered by the department to cater to multiple intelligences of the students, as well as to help equip them with the necessary skills. DepEd has partnered with the Korean Cultural Center, Embassy of Spain, Spanish Agency for International Development Cooperation Filipinas, Instituto Cervantes, Japan Foundation, the Embassy of France, Goethe-Institut Philippinen, and Confucius Institute-Angeles University Foundation in training SPFL teachers. Advantages:  Better Understanding of Korean Culture and other foreign countries  Boost your brain power  Improve Personal and Business Relationships  New opportunities Disadvantages:  Not all people understand and can comprehend Korean and other foreign languages  We may forget our own language if so  More difficult subject to learn  It gives another tasks for teachers In short, we don’t need to be competitive, comparing ourselves to other countries because we our own language. We must study deeply our own language rather than studying other languages which are not very important. We must proud of our language and show to the world that Filipino is only a language, it is a heart of every person who can speak it.

HAVING LIMITATION OF ENROLLEES IN EVERY PUBLIC UNIVERSITIES IN THE PHILIPPINES The limitation of something is the act or process of controlling or reducing it. A limitation on something is a rule or decision which prevents that thing from growing or extending beyond certain limits. A limitation on something is a rule or decision which prevents that thing from growing or extending beyond certain limits. A limitation is a fact or situation that allows only some actions and makes others impossible. A University is an institution of a higher education and research which awards academic degrees in various academic disciplines. Universities typically provide undergraduate education and postgraduate education. The word university is derived from the Latin universitas magistrorum et scholarium, which roughly means "community of teachers and scholars". While antecedents had existed in Asia and Africa, the modern university system has roots in the European medieval university, which was created in Italy and evolved from Catholic Cathedral schools for the clergy during the High Middle Ages. Having limitation of enrollees in every public Universities in the Philippines is very common when the rates of enrollees are increases. Some Universities are limits their enrollees so that they can focus and give the quality education to them. Some Universities limits their enrollees to maintain their popularity in discipline and order. Many parents are not satisfied in this activity. Some of them are asking why they should do that? Why is it they need to sacrifice the future of the students in order to meet their popularity? Limitations of enrollees are also limiting the rights of a student to be in school. In beside of that, it has also advantages. First is to maintain the peace and order of the university, less students less the probability of having conflict. Second is that they can focus on every students, less students more the probability of quality education. Third is to make sure that every student can make used of their facilities. Limitation of enrollees has so many disadvantages, one of that is when you limit them you are selfish. Selfish in which you are preventing them to learn. You are also called bias because you are giving only the opportunity to those who comes first. There are so many conflicts of having limitation of enrollees in public universities. But it depends on you on how to define it.

WHY TEACHING FOR PEACE IS MORE DIFFICULT? Peace seems very elusive. For many years now, many groups have advocated peace and yet peace has not been totally achieved. How do we make peace less abstract? How do we know we have achieved peace? How do we make rubrics to check if peace has been truly achieved? Students are discussing the nature of peace. In particular, in small groups they are identifying and sharing personal experiences of peace: moments of joy, shared, endeavor, giving and receiving, creating and celebrating. They then brainstorm some of the main obstacles of peace: fear, prejudice, aggression, indoctrination. If our schools today are to produce truly global citizens, then that puts a heavy burden on educators to stimulate critical thinking about the critical issues of the day – war and peace, global conflict and inequality, issues of gender, race, class, and so on. It’s a long list. Teaching for Peace is a new web resource where we bring it all together, and provide easy-to-use, practical classroom lessons as well as comprehensive links to resources for peace education. Peace education is the process of promoting the knowledge, skills, attitudes and values needed to bring about behavior change that will enable children, youth and adults to prevent conflict and violence, both overt and structural; to resolve conflict peacefully; and to create the conditions conducive to peace, whether at an interpersonal, intergroup, national, or international level. Teaching for peace is more difficult because you are not just teaching them the entire topic but you are also teaching them the proper values and attitudes. Sometimes you are not just a teacher but you are also a guidance councilor, nurse and even parents. Teaching for peace is not just a topic it is a responsibility of every teacher to do it. Every classroom must have peace so that the process of learning easily flowed. Teaching peace education is not easy task to accomplish. The success of doing it relies heavily on the content and the process of teaching it. If peace education must be successful, the recommended approaches and methodologies to teach the subject as follows:  Cooperative and Collaborative Learning  Critical Pedagogy  Inquiry Methodology or Problem Solving  Emphasis of Conceptual Frameworks  Conflict Analysis and Responses  Civil Society Participation
