A pleasant welcome to all of you, my dear listeners. So many years passed by, many changes undergo. Just like what the Department of Education implemented. It is the New Curriculum called K-12 Education System under the administration of the President Benigno Ninoy Aquino III. Basically, the K-12 System includes the universal kindergarten 6 years of elementary, 4 years of junior high school with an additional 2 years for senior high school.Top of Form This is to provide sufficient time for mastery of concepts and skills, develop lifelong learners, and prepare graduates for tertiary education, middle-level skills development, employment, and entrepreneurship.
According to the survey of World Bank Philippines had highest youth unemployment rate. For this would provide time for students to stabilize acquired academic skills and competencies. The curriculum will allow specializations in science and technology, music and arts, agriculture and most importantly, the system aims to fully enhance and develop the students in order for them to be well-prepared especially in emotional and psychological aspects. Through this, graduates will be able to face the pressures of their future workplaces and the high school graduates can also pursue their education outside the country.

There were so many questions out there like Where will the additional two years be added? Why is the K to 12 program better than the current program? What would be the assurance that K to 12 graduates will be employed? How will the K to 12 program help students intending to pursue higher education? And others. This are some concerns for most of us, people who live in this society. Answers are given based on the article that the Department of Education released.

Agencies that helped the P-Noy Administration has a lot of things to do, and we should all thank them, to those who compose Department of Education, Commission on Higher Education, and Technical

    Cornelio, Mrs. Suyo says that K-12 was implemented to uplift the quality of education especially among our Filipino learning. She also agrees that K-12 is a good thing. To her, K-12’s main goal or focus is “to provide or equip our learners with lifelong learning skills and to produce learners who will become globally competitive and they will be able to survive in the cycle called life”. She thinks that K-12, although not immediately, will solve the unemployment problem. Asked about K-12’s effects on the parents, teachers, and students she says “The effect is varied depending on the person. Parents, somewhat negative as they were not given clear information on K-12. Teachers, they have a clear understanding of K-12 since they were trained on what K-12 education is about. Students, they find it strange, but eventually, they will be able to understand that it is for their own good”. She believes it is worth it as students are given enough time to think of their career while being equipped with skills necessary to aid that choice. She knows that the DepEd officials are prepared to proceed with K-12 but also stresses out the fact that none of them know what the current state is in the field. She is rather disappointed on some of the parents who complain about K-12 as they do not understand the beauty of K-12. Along with Mrs. Cornelio and Mrs. Mananquil, she says that there would be no financial problems on K-12 for senior high school is free in public schools and Government-assisted in private schools. She also brings a sigh of relief to professionals saying that the skills given to the K-12 senior high graduates are the ones needed in factories and farms leaving professional tasks…

    With the K+12 style of education being implemented in the Philippines, one must wonder what factors that prompted policy makers to implement this form of educational system. According to the Department of Education (2012, http://www.gov.ph/k-12/), K+12 is there to provide sufficient time for mastery of concepts and skills, develop lifelong learners, and prepare graduates for tertiary education, middle level skills development, employment and entrepreneurship. This is all well and good in paper but some say that the realities surrounding the Philippine educational system is not yet ready for this program, and thus has met various opposition and doubt from students, parents and even educators (Maramag,SK 2010).
