The law in Philippines says that everyone in the country have the rights to the same education. Everybody must go to school for the first 6 years, and it is for free. The High School is also for free, but not mandatory. There are about 90 different languages in the country. Filipino is the national language, but English is used as a teaching language, besides the national language. The geographic conditions (over 7000 islands) makes it hard economical to follow up the education system. But the country has got better economy in the last years, so they have more money to donate to the school system. But because of that it is getting more and more people to the islands, it is hard to improve the system. Analphabetism on the Philippines is 5%.
