Philippines
Centre for Educational Research and Innovation
The Philippines was immediately affected by the fi nancial crisis in Asia in 1997, but to a less severe degree than other parts of the region – economic growth returned by 1999. Overall, the Philippines experienced robust growth in GDP (30 per cent) over the period 1995-2002.

This puts pressure on the education system to increase student numbers at all levels.
