| 摘要 | This study is to explore the dual effects of rural education in promoting the physical and mental health of adolescents and developing agricultural labor force in the Philippines. By analyzing the data of the Philippine Bureau of Statistics (PSA), the report of the Ministry of Education and the survey of the Asian Development Bank (ADB) from 2015 to 2022, and combining with 12 core documents, this paper summarized the data of the Ministry of Education. It reveals that rural education has significantly improved the health literacy of adolescents through curriculum and community interaction (education coverage increased from 48% in 2015 to 67% in 2021), while providing an average annual labor reserve of 15% for agricultural production. In spite of this, geographical isolation (30% of rural schools need to walk more than hour) and uneven distribution of resources (education expenditure per student in urban areas is 2.3 times that in rural areas) are still main constraints for the education effectiveness. Finally, this study proposes implementing the policy framework of "integration of agricultural education", integrating mental health services and vocational skills training, and establishing a cross-sectoral collaboration mechanism. |
