Classroom Shortage in the Philippines

For the schools in the Philippines, over 100 kids crowd into high school classrooms. How could someone learn well if they have 105 kids surrounding them and only 1 teacher to teach them. Although the Philippines attempted to create more school, a project that started 3 years ago, they  are thousands of classrooms short. The government only spends 2% of their money on education, something that author finds unacceptable. Jesli Lapus who controls education in the Fillipino government has an ambitious project to rebuild 2,000 schools and repair about 1,000. Due to the lack of financial support, teachers have even begun to use their own money to improve their classrooms schools. The author paints us a picture of how underprivileged the students in the Philippines are. It is an emotional and persuasive article about how something needs to be done to improve these children's educations. The author adds nothing about the reason for why the schools are so dilapidated. I think he omited this so that we feel like the government has no reason for treated the children so poorly and so that we feel angry at them. If he mentioned for example that they were having a financial crises and this was the reason why schools are getting so over crowded, we could sympathise slightly with the government for why they are doing this. The government hopefully has some reason for why they are spending so much money on other things such as recovering from a natural disaster or helping companies to become not so debt ridden.
