School System
1. Data by sub-ethnic group (e.g., Filipinos) must be separated immediately; otherwise the problems of these groups will remain invisible and their issues and problems left to worsen.
Board members and K-12 school districts administrators are asked to seriously consider the following actions:
1. Hire more Filipino administrators, teachers and counselors to ensure staff that can deal appropriately with the challenges and problems Filipino students encounter in the school system daily.
2. Revise and infuse the existing curriculum with Filipino culture, history and experiential content.
3. Provide other educators with training that introduces them to Filipino culture, history, practices and skills enabling them to work more effectively with Filipino students.
4. Involve Filipino community members and parents in the school’s daily operations and special programs; this can be done in coalition with other ethnic groups when the opportunities arise.
5. Place Filipino educators in leadership and succession positions.
Filipino Community
Filipino communities across the nation are strongly urged to:
1. Provide education leadership training for parents and students to enable them to look at the education system critically and engage school personnel in pro-active dialogue and actions.
2. Encourage and facilitate parental involvement in the local school system.
3. In addition to providing scholarships, conduct academic support and other programs for their youth that foster academic achievement.
