GOVERNMENT POLICIES ON SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY

The Philippine government introduced and implemented programs, projects and policies to boost science and technology.

The goal is to prepare the whole country and its people to meet the demands of a technologically driven world and capacitate the people to live in a world driven by science.

Padilla-Conception (2015) reported that in 2015, in response to the ASEAN 2015 Agenda, the government, particularly the Department of Science and Technology (DOST), has sought the expertise of the National Research Council of the Philippines (NCRP) to consult various sector in the society to study how the Philippines can prepare itself in meeting the ASEAN 2015 Goals.

The NRCP clustered these policies into four:

  1. Social Sciences, Humanities, Education, International Policies and Governance.

  2. Physics, Engineering, and Industrial Research, Earth and Space Sciences, and Mathematics.

  3. Medical, Chemical and Pharmaceutical Sciences.

  4. Biological Sciences, Agriculture, and Forestry.

1. Social Sciences, Humanities, Education, International Policies and Governance

 Integrating ASEAN awareness in basic education without adding to the curriculum.  Emphasizing teaching in the mother tongue.  Developing school infrastructure and providing ICT broadband.  Local food security.

2. Physics, Engineering and Industrial Research, Earth and Space Sciences, and Mathematics

 Emphasizing degrees, licenses and employment opportunities.  Outright grants for peer monitoring.  Review of RA 9184.  Harnessing science and technology as an independent mover of development.

3. Medical, Chemical and Pharmaceutical Sciences

 Ensuring compliance of drug manufacturing firms with ASEAN-harmonized standards by full implementation of FDA.

 Creating an education council dedicated to standardization of pharmaceutical services and care.  Empowering food and drug agencies to conduct evidence-based research as pool of information.  Allocating two percent of the GDP to research.  Legislating a law supporting human genome projects.

4. Biological Sciences, Agriculture and Forestry

 Protecting and conserving biodiversity by full implementation of existing laws.  Use of biosafety and standard model by ASEAN countries.  Promoting indigenous knowledge systems and indigenous people’s conservation.  Formulation of common food and safety standards.

DOST PROGRAMS SUPPORTED BY THE PHILIPPINE GOVERNMENT

 Providing funds for basic research and patents related to S&T.  Providing scholarships for undergraduate and graduate studies of students in the field of S&T.  More branches of the Philippine Science High School System for training young Filipinos.  Creating parks to encourage academe and industry partnerships.  Balik Scientist Program.  Developing parks in academic campuses.  The establishment of the National Science Complex and National Engineering Complex within the University of the Philippines campus in Diliman

Capacity-building programs by the Philippine-American Academy of Science and

Engineering (PAASE, 2008):

 National centers of excellence.  Manpower and institutional development programs such as Engineering and Science Education Program (ESEP).  Regional centers to support specific industries.  Business centers.  Science education at an early stage through PSHS system

In the field of Education

The current K-12 Education program included Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics (STEM) as one of the major tracks in Senior High School program.

 Special science classes.  Special science elementary schools.  Science and math in basic education were continuously improved.
