The Dream Agenda

Another school year have past and another school year is about to live into. It is also a time for our president Fr. Antonio Samsun pave his way to his beloved school the Ateneo de Davao University. We have already got aware of who will be taken the position ( Fr. Tabura). But before this event occur let me ask you this hypothetical question, “If you were given the chance to take the position of being the president of Ateneo de Davao, what are your agenda?” As this question is address at me, I will present to you my 3 agenda. First, immediately at the first quarter of my service I will implement no uniform policy. This decision is based on my dilemma every time school days are going on. I usually have two partner of school uniform, every night of wednesday I find hard time to wash my uniform, since I have to entertain my assignment and notes for the quiz tomorrow. Not to mention, I have many sets of civilian clothes in my cabinet; I usually acquire it from my friends and siblings as a gift. It always sinks in my mind about the no wearing of uniform. Another would be, buying of uniform every semester is a waste of money for our parents, since the buying of casual dress is every body’s hobby, it is practical to maximize the use of this resources as being official school dress. Second, 12:00-12:30 should be declared as official time for student to attend the regular mass in the university chapel. We are catholic institution who embodied the teaching of God in everything we do including the regular attending of mass. If the school give this opportunity to the student or even to the teacher, it is easy for us to fulfil the challenge of becoming Gods likeness and image and soon unconsciously convert ourselves into living saints. Moreover, this policy also influence by the present condition of our world nowadays; let nature take its own course that nature is only becoming responsive to man’s injustice treat towards environment like Tsunami and Earthquake. With these circumstances, we are called to repent with our sins, since the rumour that entails world destruction make us people anxious. Lastly, being a non-profit institution I will declare a decrease in tuition fees without sacrificing the standard of teaching of the school this will be realize through removing all the unnecessary expense that the school is omitted like the use of internet Library. Now days everyone can already own a laptop or PC, putting of internet library is impractical. It is an added amount to the tuition fees. According to Atenews, the school is spending 10 million worth of internet subscription. Imagine how many students shoulder these costs. Instead, the improvement of wifi in the vicinity of the school is a very good idea. So that it can cater a number of Laptop users. Indeed, if all these agenda will soon to be put into realize, an educational privilege in Ateneo is everybody at hand. An education that is affordable, free for all different walks in life without sacrificing the quality and standard of teachings.
