education by the national government *How to get out of debt HAZEL R. DIMARANAN Debt Management refers to an unofficial agreement with unsecured creditors for repayment of debts over a specific time period, generally extending the amount of time over which the debt will be paid back.

Funding Sources 1.1.State and Local Funding. State governments provide a national average of around 49 percent of their education budgets using a combination of income taxes, corporate taxes, sales taxes and fees. Local or county governments contribute on average about 43 percent, typically using revenue from local taxes from residential and commercial properties. Financing Public Education 1.2.Federal Funding. The federal government contributes the remaining 8 percent of the public education budget, a percentage that has increased since 1990. This amounts to $70 billion annually, which is equal to 3 percent of the total federal budget. Much of this funding is discretionary, which means that Congress sets the amount annually through the appropriations process. Distribution of Funds Generally, funding formulas have two distinct parts that are used exclusively or combined in some way: foundation funding ensures a minimum amount per pupil, and categorical funding finances specific tasks, facilities, and special programs. The formulas consider any combination of factors, including median family income levels, property values, teacher allocation, total student enrollment, inflation and additional weighting for students with extra need, like low-income, special education, English language learners or low-performing students. EDUCATION-PHILIPPINES: Problems to Finance Public Schools The Philippine Constitution has mandated the government to allocate the highest proportion of its budget to education. But, in reality, Philippines still has one of the lowest budget allocations to education among the ASEAN countries. The education department admits it needs to build 21,000 classrooms and hire 10,000 teachers for public schools across the country to fill the current shortfall, but the problem is finding the money to fund this. The Department of Education is also not only considering how to increase access to education; it is concentrating more in improving the quality of education, shifting further away from proposing additional school buildings or new teachers and emphasizing instead more critical inputs for education: textbooks, trainings, and better deployment. The Commission on Higher Education is a Department of Education component that has taken advantage of the new budget system. Last year, in weeding out underperforming programs in state colleges, the Commission cancelled 90 courses in 86 private and government state colleges where the percentage of graduates passing exams for a license was less than 3 percent. “Although public elementary education is free, school- related expenses like transportation fare, snacks, lunch, school supplies and other learning materials are beyond the financial capabilities of poor parents,” UNESCO said. Out of every 100 Filipino schoolchildren enrolled every year, 66 will complete elementary education, 42 will finish high school but only 14 will earn a college degree, says the Centre for Asia- Pacific Studies How to Get Out of Debt Step 1: Use this tool to find out how much debt you REALLY have Step 2: Choose your “plan of attack” for paying off debt Step 3: Freeze your credit card debt — literally — to stop it from growing Step 4: Ask for lower interest rates on your credit cards — and negotiate other bills.
