Education in The Philippines
A quick google of world/asian/asean rankings will show that the education system of the Philippines is regularly placed below that of Thailand. Basic education in the Philippines is often 10 or 11 years. Tertiary education is often three years. It is, in principle, possible to graduate with a "university degree" in the Philippines before the age of twenty. The (usually somewhat better) Thai basic/tertiary education is 12/4 years. NES teachers (who have genuine credentials) typically have world-class educations.
Some people might also have noticed that an application for a work permit is linked to salary for foreign workers which in turn is linked to where you come from. Sorry to all my Filipino colleagues out there but if you are world class go and look for a job in "farangland."
