K-12

Implementation

By 2016, universities and colleges will have less freshmen applicants due to

the implementation of the K-12 program. In this program, after students finish

grade 10, they will have another two years of asic education, which are !unior

"igh #chool and #enior "igh #chool. #chool administrations, employees, parents

and even students from oth pulic and private schools have raised many issues

regarding the shift to a 12-year asic education curriculum. $lthough there were

different reactions from oth pulic and private schools, %ep&d has een handling

these two types of schools differently.

'he (noy $dministration elieves that adding more years to asic

education in the (hilippines could help solve the prolems of unemployment, )eep

with gloal standards, and help (ilipino students to have more time to choose the

career that est suits their s)ills.

(sychologically spea)ing, the short education program affects human

development of the (ilipino children. $ (ilipino is legally a child efore he or she

turns 1* years old. (sychologists and educators say that children under 1* are

generally not emotionally prepared for entrepreneurship or employment or higher

education disciplines. +ommonly, rade si pupils graduate at the age ranging



from 11-1 years old, and fourth year high school students graduates at the range

of 1/-1 years old. 'herefore, these learners are still considered children and they

are not capale to handle serious situations li)e decision ma)ing and wor) tas).

In the (hilippines, there is a harvesting practice which is called, "inogsaBunga3,

meaning a fruit which was ta)en from the trun) of the tree. 'he ripened fruits

which were ta)en from the trun) of the tree are more sweet and tasty compared to

fruits which were ta)en ahead of time.

'he goal of the K 12 Basic &ducation (rogram is to create a functional

asic education system that will produce productive and responsile citi4ens

e5uipped with the essential competencies and s)ills for oth life long learning

and employment. 'his program will enhance the asic education system to full

functionality to fulfill the asic learning needs of students. 'his is in line with the

agenda of the (resident $5uino of having 5uality education as a long term

solution to poverty, in order to achieve these goals.

'he program has the following twin oectives7 'o give every student as

opportunity to receive 5uality education ased on an enhanced and decongested

curriculum that is internationally recogni4ed and comparale8 %evelop a

curriculum that is rational and focus on ecellence8 (roduce a pool of highly

5ualified and ade5uately trained teachers8 $chieve high academic standards,

especially in 9athematics, #cience and &nglish at all levels8 (roduce graduates

who are gloally competitive and whose credential are recogni4ed internationally8



'o change pulic perception that high school education is ust a preparation

for college8 rather, it should allow one to ta)e advantage of opportunities for

gainful career or employment and:or self employment in a rapidly changing and

increasingly gloali4ed environment8 (roduce graduates who possess s)ills and

competencies that will allow them to e productive memers of the society or

pursue higher education8 through coordination etween the academic and usiness

sectors, to change industry hiring practices into account the enhance s)ills and

competencies of K 12 graduates.

9any parents disapprove of the proposed K - 12 &ducation system y the

%epartment of &ducation, as it is means additional urden for oth parents and

students, even more so for the marginali4ed sector of the community. 'here are

some issues raised y different individual on this matter which are the possiility

of $dditional 2 years ; added cost to parents, %ep&d lac)s of educational

resources such as classroom and teachers and some parents can<t wait to have their

children start wor)ing.

If the K-12 &ducation (lan ecomes successful, then the (hilippine

education system can ecome more competitive among other countries around the

world. 'hough there are still some prolems that the government needs to solve

efore they can successfully implement the plan. 'he proposed program is good

ut it still won=t wor) if the needed elements to ma)e it wor) aren<t present. #uch

elements include the numer of pulic school classrooms plus the ade5uate supply



of classroom chairs, oo)s, etc. If the government could allot a igger udget to

educational needs, then we could e one-step ahead towards the success of the K-

12 program. >urthermore, parents ?especially those who elongs in the poor

sector@ should e properly informed and motivated of the advantages of the K-12

&ducation (lan. 'his is very important since parents play a maor role in providing

the child=s school allowances, supplies, and fees for other school proects and

activities. $dd to that the support of parents towards their children in terms of

guidance and teaching.
