What are your plans after completing Ph.D. program?

Being an advocate for educational outreach and educational reform, I entered my PhD program in a hope that the training in the program will help tap my human potential and elucidate new opportunities which will allow me to become an agent of change for our backward educational system particularly those in the marginalized areas of our society.

After completing my Ph.D., I will continue on in academia as a public senior high school teacher until some other opportunity—one that is more productive in uplifting my countrymen—presents itself. Nevertheless, I would love the opportunity to be a full professor in a higher education institution in charge of shaping a curriculum and shaping students. It would be my great pleasure to be part of a team responsible in addressing the nation’s urgent need to educate its citizens efficiently and comprehensively.

In addition, I would love also the opportunity to further enrich and widen my knowledge and seek for a richer experience by pursuing more advanced studies in science education, research, statistics or other related fields in any well-recognized university abroad, preferably in western countries, and be involved in some research projects and international conferences.

Moreover, I would love also to pursue my desire in writing—journals, articles and even books—to share to the public my own and others’ knowledge, expertise and experiences about education, science and other important subjects. I am hopeful that my works will serve as my long lasting legacy to my countrymen.
