CURRENT SITUTATION WHERE ARE WE NOW?

Chronic underachievement of students Insufficient mastery of basic

competencies due to congested curriculum

High school graduates (<16 year-old graduates lack basic competencies and maturity)

Other countries view the 10 – year education cycle as insufficient

The Philippines is the only remaining country in Asia with a 10 – year basic education program

K-12 Basic Education Program Historical Background

• K+12 is not NEW… • studies have been made since 1925

• need to be more competitive• lack of political will

DepEd’s MISSION

•To give every learner an opportunity to receive quality education based on an enhanced and decongested curriculum that is internationally recognized and comparable.

SUB-GOALS

•To change public perception that high school education is just a preparation for college

SUB-GOALS

Rather, it should allow one to take advantage of opportunities for gainful career or employment and/or self-employment in a rapidly changing and increasing globalized environment.

RATIONALE1. Enhancing the quality of basic

education in the Philippines is urgent and critical

2. The poor quality of basic education is reflected in the low achievement scores of Filipino students.

3. International tests results like 2003 TIMSS (Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study) rank the Philippines 34% out of 38 countries in HS II math and 43% out of 46 countries in HS II Science; for grade 4, the Philippines ranked 23rd out 25 participating countries in both Math and Science. In 2008, even with only the science high schools participating in the Advanced mathematics category, the Philippines was ranked lowest (Table 1).

4. The congested curriculum partly explains the present state of education

5. This quality of education is reflected in the inadequate preparation of high school graduates for the world of work or entrepreneurship or higher education

6. Further, most graduates are too young to enter the labor force.

7. The current system also reinforces the misperception that basic education is just a preparation for higher education.

8. Our graduates are not automatically recognized as professionals abroad.

9. More importantly, the short basic education program affects the human development of the Filipino children.

10. Cognizant of this urgent and critical concern and in line with the priorities of the Aquino Administration, the Department of Education is taking bold steps to enhanced the basic education curriculum.

11. K-12 means Kindergarten and the 12 years of elementary and secondary education.

BENEFITS OF ENHANCED BASIC EDUCATION PROGRAM

1.The Enhanced K-12 Basic Education Program will be instrumental in achieving the nation’s vision of high school graduates. The benefits of the

K-12 proposal far outweigh the additional costs that will be incurred by both government and families.

2. An enhanced curriculum will decongest academic workload.

To Individuals and Families

3. Graduates will possess competencies and skills relevant to the job market.

4. Graduates will be prepared for higher education.

5. Graduates could now be recognized abroad.

6. The economy will experience accelerated growth in the long run.

7.The Philippine education system will be at par with international standards.

8. A better educated society provides a sound foundation for long-term socio-economic development.

For the Society and the Economy

WHY ADD TWO YEARS?

Decongest and enhance the basic education curriculum

Better quality education

for all

“We need to add two years to our basic education. Those who can afford pay up to fourteen years of schooling before university. Thus, their children are getting into the best universities and the best job after graduation.

I want at least 12 years for our public school children to give them an even chance at succeeding.”

President Benigno S. Aquino III

The K-12 program will respond to the need of developing the country’s competitiveness. The challenges of ASEAN 2015, particularly the opening up of the ASEAN economic community by 2015, puts much pressure to our county. Thus there’s a need to ensure that our graduates in basic education have skills and competencies that will allow them to be at par with the global standards.

The K-12 Program and the Need to Develop Philippine competitiveness

Ester B. Ogena, Ph.D.

PresidentPhilippine Normal

University


We need to prepare our youth so that they will have an equal chance to be employed in a more open single economic community. ASEAN is expected, in the very near future, to openly hire people within the region that have the capacity to respond to job challenges. Of course, we don’t want our graduates to have a slim chance of being hired by big companies even in our own country. We also want them to have the ability to participate in knowledge and wealth creation both for themselves and the Philippines.

ISSUES/CONCERNS1. Expanding Spiral Progression

Approach vs. Discipline-Based Approached in K to 12

2. Competencies demanded of teachers for effective implementation of Kto12 especially in Grades 11-12 (Pre-service and In-service Education)

3. Role of LGUs, parents, business and industry and community stakeholders in the implementation of K to 12

4. Preparedness of DepEd K to 12 BEP implementors (teachers, school heads, supervisors, IMC…)

5. Technical Education and/or Technology and Vocational Education

6. The alternative delivery modes in K to12 implementation

7. Transition period in the MTBMLE progression program

8. MT proficiency of teachers in the MTBMLE program

9. MTBMLE teacher training: what do teachers need to know to do their job well?

10. Preparation of learning materials from K-311. Literary and informational texts in K to 12:

Need for Balance?12. Utilization of adapted current learning

materials for efficient use of resources13. The kindergarten education and teacher

education curriculum (domains of learning)

14. Tailoring co-curricular activities and community involvement program to student and community needs

15. Assessment for and of learning based on standards

16. Attitudes of teachers towards K-12

If education could be the only best option to secure the future of our youth, all of us are here to support this option.
