For those who have studied in a good private school, complete with books and school supplies, consider yourselves lucky. Good quality education is hard to come by for the underprivileged, the poor or those living in the far reaches of the countryside.
How can these children afford to get the education they rightfully deserve if they don't have books, uniforms, classrooms, enough teachers and even electricity?
Even today, there are still hard-to-reach barrios in the mountainous regions of the Philippines who do not have electric power to make use of the most basic necessities.
Because of the lack of development in the countryside, good quality education is hard to come by. The effect? A lot of these children grow up to have a hard time getting a decent job.
If government will not act on this, how can the Philippines be globally competitive? How do we expect to prosper as a nation?
Fortunately, there are non-governmental groups and individuals willing to volunteer and fill in the gap. By going to the countryside and teach children the basics, we can do more to alleviate one of the biggest problems the Philippines has today - our lack of decent basic education.
With a Samsung SMART TV, we can help alleviate the problem.
Teaching through television is quite effective, but the problem doing this is that most isolated barrios do not have electricity and electrical equipment can be heavy.
Fortunately, there are portable power systems available today we can bring on our outreach program, AND as for our teaching tool, the Samsung SMART TV is thin and lightweight. That makes it easy to carry in case one has to bring the TV all the way up to the mountains by foot.
Teaching underprivileged kids may be a lot hardwork, and takes some patience and determination too. But once you see their bright smiles, it is all worth the effort.
A SMART nation begins with the youth. We should do what we can to help build young minds.
