THE K-12 CURRICULUM

FRAMEWORK
ANG PINAGYAMANG PROGRAMA NG
BATAYANG EDUKASYON (K-12)
2 laws that justify the
implementation of K to 12

► RA 10533 The Enhance Basic


Education Act
► REPUBLIC ACT (RA) NO. 10157,
OTHERWISE KNOWN AS “THE
KINDERGARTEN EDUCATION ACT”
SALIENT FEATURES OF
K TO12
CURRICULUM
STRENGTHENING EARLY CHILDHOOD
EDUCATION (UNIVERSAL
KINDERGARTEN)
► Every Filipino child now has access to early
childhood education through Universal
Kindergarten. At 5 years old, children start
schooling and are given the means to slowly
adjust to formal education.
► Research shows that children who underwent
Kindergarten have better completion rates than
those who did not. Children who complete a
standards-based Kindergarten program are better
prepared, for primary education.
MAKING THE CURRICULUM RELEVANT
TO LEARNERS (CONTEXTUALIZATION
AND ENHANCEMENT)
► Examples, activities, songs, poems, stories, and
illustrations are based on local culture, history, and
reality. This makes the lessons relevant to the learners
and easy to understand.
► Students acquire in-depth knowledge, skills, values, and
attitudes through continuity and consistency across all
levels and subjects.
► Discussions on issues such as Disaster Risk Reduction
(DRR), Climate Change Adaptation, and Information &
Communication Technology (ICT) are included in the
enhanced curriculum.
ENSURING INTEGRATED AND
SEAMLESS LEARNING (SPIRAL
PROGRESSION)
► Subjects are taught from the simplest concepts to
more complicated concepts through grade levels
in spiral progression.
► As early as elementary, students gain knowledge
in areas such as Biology, Geometry, Earth
Science, Chemistry, and Algebra. This ensures a
mastery of knowledge and skills after each level.
BUILDING PROFICIENCY THROUGH
LANGUAGE (MOTHER TONGUE-BASED
MULTILINGUAL EDUCATION)
► Students are able to learn best through their first
language, their Mother Tongue (MT).
► Aside from the Mother Tongue, English and
Filipino are taught as subjects starting Grade 1,
with a focus on oral fluency. From Grades 4 to 6,
English and Filipino are gradually introduced as
languages of instruction. Both will become
primary languages of instruction in Junior High
School (JHS) and Senior High School (SHS).
GEARING UP FOR THE FUTURE
(SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL)

► Senior High School is two years of specialized upper


secondary education; students may choose a specialization
based on aptitude, interests, and school capacity.
► The choice of career track will define the content of the
subjects a student will take in Grades 11 and 12. SHS
subjects fall under either the Core Curriculum or specific
Tracks.
CORE CURRICULUM

► Languages
► Literature
► Communication
► Mathematics
► Philosophy
► Natural Sciences
► Social Sciences.
Each student in Senior High
School can choose among three
tracks:
► Academic
► Technical-Vocational-Livelihood
► Sports and Arts
The Academic track includes 4
strands:

► Business, Accountancy, Management (BAM)


► General Academic Strand (GAS)
► Humanities and Social Sciences (HUMSS)
► Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics
(STEM).
TVET (TECHNICAL VOCATIONAL
EDUCATION & TRAINING) NATIONAL
CERTIFICATE
► After finishing Grade 10, a student can obtain
Certificates of Competency (COC) or a National
Certificate Level I (NC I). After finishing a
Technical-Vocational-Livelihood track in Grade
12, a student may obtain a National Certificate
Level II (NC II), provided he/she passes the
competency-based assessment of the Technical
Education and Skills Development Authority
(TESDA).
NURTURING THE HOLISTICALLY
DEVELOPED FILIPINO (COLLEGE AND
LIVELIHOOD READINESS, 21ST
CENTURY SKILLS)
► After going through Kindergarten, the enhanced
Elementary and Junior High curriculum, and a
specialized Senior High program, every K to 12
graduate will be ready to go into different paths –
may it be further education, employment, or
entrepreneurship.
st
The Four 21 Century Skills
Categories;

► Information, media and technology skills


► Learning and innovation skills
► Effective communication skills
► Life and career skills.
CURRICULUM GUIDE
KINDERGARTEN

► The Kindergarten Curriculum Framework


(KCF) draws from the goals of the K to 12
Philippine Basic Education Curriculum
Framework and adopts the general
principles of the National Early Learning
Framework (NELF).
Why Or
Why not to K-12?
Pros
Pros
► Our graduates are not automatically recognized as
Professionals abroad.
Pros
► The poor quality of basic education is reflected in
the low achievements scores of filipino students.
Pros
► Most graduates are too young to enter the
labor force.
Pros
► “ The short basic education program affects
the human development of the filipino
children.”
CONS
Cons
► As far as the curriculum is concerned, DEPED shoud fix the
current subjects instead of adding new ones. The problem
is the content, not the length, of basic education. As the
editorial put it, we need to have better education, not
more education.
Cons
► Parents have to shell out more money (For
transpotation and food ) for the education of
their children.
Cons
► The drop-out rate will increase because of the
two extra years.
