How many college graduates end up successful is a question of debates. What must be the rootcause of this failures. Taking a look at the system of education in the college level of each college or university, there is a repetitive subjects which should end up in the highschool era. I just wondered why it wasnt given a look by proper authorities. If you are taking an engineering course, subjects about filipino, history and literature should be abolished in the engineering course. Those subjects had long been taken in elementary n highschool days. Many students cant concentrate on their courses specifically their majors because this subjects take most of their times which should be focused on their distinctive courses. And mostly these non essential subjects are the ones that requires so many requirements from students. These are waste of money and time upon which students in college should give much attention to their chosen course which they will use in their future jobs. English and math should be the only subjects retained in college. Other foreign language should be a must for students to learn. Until they got their jobs, they wont know where they will land their jobs. There should be a change in the subject curriculum on each courses. If the students can concentrate more on their chosen courses, then a better if not the best graduates can be produce yearly.

REACTION:

 I agree with this article. The student should focus on their major subject, so that they can work well with it especially if they are applying for a job. Many graduate student here in the Philippines are working not well-matched with their courses. The subject curriculum of the course that the student gets should match to their courses. Not those courses with so many subjects which they can't use for their future job. 

For me, there are three factors which are involved for the success of a student. The school, the teachers/parents, and the student itself. The school gives rules and regulations and their curriculum. The teachers give, instill/impart their knowledge with regards to the subject they handled, or the people who give the good values, and the students who have the big responsibility for their own success.

There are subjects that had long been taken in elementary and high school days like Filipino, History, Literature. As a filipino citizen we should keep our culture because this makes the Filipinos unique as to compare with the other races. These subjects remind us always for being unique and guide the students to keep the culture and the good values.
