I. ENHANCED K+12: BASIC EDUCATION PROGRAM

The Department of Education recently unveils the enhanced K+12: Basic Education Program. The program involves the reinforcement of kindergarten, six years of elementary education, four years in Junior High School (Grades 7-10) and two years of Senior High School (Grades 11-12). Curriculum also allows specialization in science and technology, music and arts, agriculture and fisheries, sports, business and entrepreneurship. Thus, the Department of Education plans to implement the new education cycle in phases, beginning in 2012. In addition, Education Secretary Bro. Armin Luistro ensure that the Department will work closely with the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) and Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) to align the new basic education program with the existing programs of both concerned institutions (Caballero, ANC, 2010). The Department of Education believes that enhancing the quality of Education will allow the system to build flexibility in the curriculum to expand coverage and content. Along this line, students are presumed to have developed sufficient higher order thinking skills, analytic tools, and knowledge to enter either college or the world of work.

    The Philippines faces the issue of child labor because the state has failed to exercise the proper actions in order to take control of the situation. It has, like the US, set a minimum age of employment under the circumstances that the work hours be limited and the undertakings not be hazardous (DOL). The minimum age of employment in the Philippines has been set at age 15(IPEC- Philippines). Yet although certain policies have been made to improve the condition of child labor in the Philippines, none of these involve the educational requirements of the child.…

    Readiness of Kindergarten Teachers along K-12 Curriculum

    One of the major reforms in our country’s educational system is Republic Act 10157, otherwise known as “The Kindergarten Education Law” or the K to12 (K+12). This Law made the Kindergarten compulsory and mandatory entry to basic education. This Law was initiated by the Aquino administration in order to address the perceived decreasing quality of education in the country, and to meet the international standard regarding the number of years in basic education. This program will require all incoming students to enroll into two more years of basic education. The K+12 System will include the Universal kindergarten, 6 years of elementary, 4 years of junior high school with an additional 2 years for senior high school. The program is implemented and formulated along with the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) and with the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA). The current k-12 model that had been implemented in the country is an educational landscape for basic and secondary system patterned after the United States, Canada and some parts of Australia had done it. According to Patricia Velasco’s article, the K- 12 Curriculum envisions “holistically developed learners with 21st century skills” (DepEd Primer, 2011). This further means that every student would have an understanding of the world around him and a passion for life-long learning while addressing every student’s basic learning needs: “learning to learn, the acquisition of numeracy, literacy, and scientific and technological knowledge applied to daily life” (p.6). The main objective of the K to 12 curriculum is to achieve the DepEd’s goal of eradicating illiteracy rate in the country. “No child is left behind.” (source). Every Filipino has the right to receive quality education in order to become an asset in all dimensions, competent, efficient, effective and productive citizen leading to a decent and…

    Three government organizations handle education in the Philippines. These are the Department of Education, Culture, and Sports (DECS), the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) and the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA). In 1999, the Department of Education, Culture and Sports, which governs both public and private education in all levels, stated that its mission was "to provide quality basic education that is equitably accessible to all by the foundation for lifelong learning and service for the common good." The Department also stipulated its vision to "develop a highly competent, civic spirited, life-skilled, and God-loving Filipino youth who actively participate in and contribute towards the building of a humane, healthy and productive society." All these ambitions were embodied in the development strategy called "Philippines 2000."…

    K-12 BASIC EDUCATION PROGRAM: BANE OR BOON FOR NATIONAL DEVELOPMENT?

    Our Philipppine Constitution strongly mandates the right of all citizens to quality education at all levels. Article XIV, Section 1, explicitly provides: “The State shall protect and promote the right of all citizens to quality education at all levels.” Due to this the biggest budget is given to the Department of Education. Despite these constitutional guarantees, current performance indicators showed a dismal picture of the quality of education in the country. Participation rates have worsened, dropout rates remain high and the Philippines continues to perform poorly in both national and international assessment tests.…
