PostHeaderIcon Waste of manpower and labor



The Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) of the Philippines reported that each year about 200,000 examinees for licensure in different professions fail to pass the exam rendering them less capable to work and assume jobs in their field of training.
Based on PRC data, a total of 304,586 examinees took licensure exams in different fields. Of the figure, only 36.9 percent or 112,407 passed.

Examinees in the customs brokers test posted the lowest passing rate at 22.9 percent, followed by librarians at 23.6 percent. The highest rate of passers are those who take the geology, pharmacy, optometry guidance counselor, mining and geologic engineering tests whose passing rates range from 60 to 70%. The last nursing board posted a rate of 42%, lower than the previous year.---Philstar (08/15/09, Jaymalin, M.)

The high rate of flunkers in the board exams is a reflection of the quality of education these students are getting. Failing the test makes them less able to land a job and lead unproductive lives. There is an urgent need to make jobs available for these flunkers. It’s the duty of the Department of Education and the government to correct this waste of manpower and labor.
