WHAT IS THE K to 12 REFORM ABOUT?
Republic Act 10533 or “The Enhanced Basic
Education Act of 2013” was signed into law in
2013, and is the flagship education reform
program of the Aquino administration.

It covers kindergarten (K) and 12 years of basic

education (six years of elementary, four years of
junior high, and two years of senior high school) to
provide sufficient time for mastery of concepts and
skills.

The additional two years of SHS decongests the

curriculum and focuses on mastery, while
minimizing need to review basic subjects in college.

Engagement of State Universities and Colleges (SUCs) and Local Universities
and Colleges (LUCs) in the provision of Senior High School

The Commission has partnered with the Philippine Institute for

Development Studies (PIDS), with DepEd, for a mapping of SHS
supply and demand across municipalities, with the aim of:

1. Ensuring that there is

adequate supply of SHS
tracks and strands for all
Grade 10 graduates
1. That there is no undue
competition between
public and private schools
Process
Recommendations were based on:
● Relevant college programs
● Supply and demand (within 10
km radius of the SUC)
● Expressed intent

Highlights
● Some were “capped” based on
(1) capacity or (2) demand
● Some were “pushed” based on
(1) demand and (2) capacity

Insights
● Some SUCs and/or their campuses within 10km of each other
● In some areas, despite SUC participation, there is still WIDE
need for more providers for SHS tracks/strands
● Most need in the following subjects: STEM, HUMSS, TVL
Support to Senior High School Implementation
CHED released CMO Nos. 32 and 33 to set the parameters for
engagement of SUCs and LUCs last Oct. 20 and 27 respectively.

Complete submissions were processed and vetted, and then

According to DepEd, they are still processing the

endorsements sent by CHED last year (October-December
2015) and will finalize their vetting within the month (January
2016).
 It is an unprecedented and long-needed
investment in Philippine higher education.
