education needs preparation
“Education is the key to success”, the higher the education the person attains the higher his/her chances to achieve his/her dreams. But is this “higher” education equivalent to longer schooling? Will prolonging education yield to a better quality or to a lesser quantity? Probably a more specific question will be, Is K-12 the key to success?
The K-12 program is an educational system started by the Aquino Administration. The Government would add two years plus Kindergarten to the ten years of basic education. Many people think that this program is unnecessary and insignificant but the others say it will help improve not only the educational system but the Philippines as a whole. Which is which? Whatever side you take it’s sure to affect the people around you, the students, colleges and universities, teachers and professors, and most of all the future parents that is ought to send their children to school, and that is us. Yes us, we are involved no matter how hard we try to shrug this issue off and it will surely affect us in one way or another we are the concern in this phenomenal issue thus, let us be involved.
There are many pro arguments for the K-12 Program but there are two which I think are the most important. The first argument, it will enhance the Quality of Education, being a third world country indeed improvements that will give way to a high quality education is very much needed. The K-12 program shall pave the way to a higher standard of education for it will add more subjects to the present curriculum thereby providing the students’ more knowledge and skills. Secondly, the high school education will become an expanded Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) as it will offer different vocational skills such as; bartending, cooking, welding, wiring, dressmaking and many more. Let’s face it, not everyone who finishes high school in the Philippines will go to college most high school students will look for work after they

    Many queries arise because of the new system. Students, parents and even educators doubt the effectiveness of the K+12. Contrarily, the Department of Education does not want to be stopped and is determined to pursue the program. On a reform as massive as this, it is expected that the opinions of the people are divided; after all, it depends in the K+12 on how the Education of the country will progress.…

    The contemporary issues and problems in education are relevant to the need of the school administrators and teachers and require them to give alternative course of action towards their resolution. The present administration gave emphasis on the K to 12 Education program, as urgent and critical; thus the Department of the education came up with the proposal to enhance the Basic Education Program in a manner that is least disruptive to the current curriculum, most affordable to government and aligned with the international practice. (DepEd Discussion Paper, 2010).…

    In spite of the government’s intention of improving the quality of education and solving the unending problem of unemployment, there are problems that should be addressed and there are uncertainties that should be considered before continuing the K-12 program. K-12 program should be rescinded because of its uncertainty in solving unemployment, its problem in having shortages of facilities and materials in some schools, its effect in increasing expenses, and its inefficiency in improving the quality of education.…

    “Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.”(Mandela,2010). This quote states that education develops our world to more powerful. This is one of a reason why others want the K+12 program on the Philippines. Some are not in favor of this because they say that it is not the longer education is the solution and it is the improving of quality of education. Some say that K+12 in the Philippines is not necessary while I as a student agree for this program.There are many reasons why I agree to have a K+12 Program in our country but there are three things that I think the most significant.…

    K-12, or Model Kinder-6-4-2 is a program developed by the Department of Education. The educational system in the Philippines will now have thirteen years of basic education. The research is bound to finding out the differences and similarities of Philippine K-12 from other countries. The researchers also conducted an interview with Mrs. Luz Mandaue and she said that the educational system in other countries is better than the Philippine K-12. K-12 was compared with the U.S. educational system and the Chinese educational system because their government gives importance to their education. Our research will show that reforms are usually for the better especially when they see that we are always left behind. The researchers’ study is about K-12 and some other educational system of countries like U.S., China, Japan and Singapore. The researchers would like to know why Filipinos prefers to study in foreign countries rather than in their own countries. And this study would also like to show what benefits will the incoming generation of students gain with this system, and to show how other countries adjust during an educational reform. The researchers would like to inform Filipinos in what might happen in their system of living once K-12 is the on-going educational system of the country.…

    K-to-12 by San Juan

    From its inception during the last years of the Macapagal-Arroyo regime to its current implementation under the second Aquino presidency, the Kindergarten to 12 Years of Basic Education (K to 12) Program has been criticized and opposed by a broad array of forces. The current administration rammed it down our throats, just the same conducting tokenistic consultations right there and then to make it appear that the scheme is not a top-down imposition, but never really engaging in genuinely democratic bottom-up dialogue prior to K to 12’s inception, adoption, and implementation. It is within this context that we are duty-bound to expose the irrationality of K to 12, despite the prevailing notion that K to 12 is a necessary educational reform.…

    K-12 Curriculum

    * One of the biggest problems we Filipinos suffer. In reality, PHILIPPINES IS NOT A POOR COUNTRY. The problem is that wrong people mismanage and misgovern the budget of our country. Because of this mismanagement, citizens suffer and pay the price. And now, they’re implementing this curriculum that would be another burden to us Filipinos. If 10 years is already a big thing for parents, then what more is 12 years of sending their children to schools? Yes, there are public schools all around our country, but think about it. Many parents are minimum-wage-earners and aside from the education of their children, there are still other important things included in their monthly budget. So why add 2 more years in the basic education of an average Filipino?…

    According to President Benigno S. Aquino, “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 jobs after graduation. I want at least 12 years for our public school children to give them an even chance at succeeding.” In line with this, the 1987 Philippine Constitution states that, “The State shall establish, maintain, and support a complete, adequate, and integrated system of education relevant to the needs of the people and the society.“ Such mandate gives justice to the basic rights of every Filipino child: the right to quality education and the right to a quality life.…

    I myself am not a great fan of K to 12. I know it’s now law and is on its second year. The Department of Education says the implementation is getting better, as schools get to iron out the kinks of last year. But whether it is or not, I don’t know that the program will really make a huge dent in the huge problem of education.…
