Education is a top priority of any administration. The Aquino administration seems focused on ending the classroom and teacher shortage by 2016 or earlier. What else must President Aquino do to improve our country's education system?
-
Agriculture and land reform go hand in hand in reducing social inequality as well as in securing our food supply for the future. Share your ideas on the President's agenda to increase productivity and look after the welfare of farmers.

The Aquino administration likes to highlight the economic gains made in just 3 years. Are we truly on the way to sustainable growth or are we just as vulnerable today as we were during the credit and financial crises?
-
The current's health care system, although functioning, is still sorely lacking in terms of delivery and ease of access for the poor. Given its complexity as an issue, what should PNoy focus on?

Before we go, I'd like to ask Tanya and Dodo to say some final words on this year's SONA and what we - the media and civil society - need to watch out for in the coming months, particularly with the 2014 budget and the last 3 years of the PNoy administration?

Final words on Rappler Blog.. I appreciated linked specifics on poverty alleviation-educ-health. So much more to do on Inclusive Development
