NU IDEA #11 by AJG Conditional Cash Transfer Program

NU IDEA #11            My Take on CONDITIONAL CASH TRANSFER PROGRAM (PNOY's PPPP) This program has been copied from brazil, and true enough, through the news and as my research resulted, it worked in alleviating poverty in their country. This is Pnoy's program that has been running already for quite some time right after he seated as the Head of our Country. So what happens in this program? The poorest of the poor that is with family and children are given allowances by the government, in return they should oblige on making sure that the pregnant would complete her maternal check up, the new born will be screened and vaccinated, the children will enrol in the public education system. This actually makes sense since what the government is trying to do is to provide room for growth and development to its constituents by assuring their basic physical need. On personally, as I see it, the program lacks something in the end. It can only assure until the child graduates from basic education, what worries me is that even after graduating high-school, the chances of being an asset to the country is still very slim. As stated in my previous New Ideas, in a community that we are living in now, it shouldn't stop on education alone. My Idea is this, it may sound a socialist or communist but in order to raise the quality of living of the marginalized people we should be able to set the direction for themselves already, only a few has the actual capacity to go on a separate and better path such as the scholars and talented individuals. Here's my idea for Pnoy's PPPP, the requirement should go further up to vocational education that can give them qualifications to be employed already. A program requirement that is tied up with TESDA that would be able to give grants to the selected families, in this way, the program ends with providing a means of living to the beneficiaries. 4 AJ GUINTO
