Lenny_V,
The education system is cheap but not third world standard.
The curriculum is constantly updated to be better than the western curriculum BECAUSE their end goal is to get employed in the western countries. Even surrounding Asian countries go to the Philippines for the cheap and good education, ask the Iranian doctors. Even the hospitals in the Philippines are one of the bests in Asian countries.
Here in the USA, it is sad that our daughters are not into studying that much. If they are they are used by the schools here that are more interested in how much money they can take out from the poor student. So they make the student pay thousands of dollars and they dont really care if the student show up as long as he pays.
This is why if you notice the filipinos are in our financial, medical businesses even if they are new immigrants. Even high school graduates from the Philippines are better speller than our children born here because they learned their english by reading it not by speaking it.
