The
Enhanced K+12 Basic Education Program in the Philippines has been officially
started. It has been initiated by the Aquino administration
where students will have to undergo a new system of education.
This program will require all incoming students to enroll into two more years of basic education. Thus, the K+12 System will basically include the Universal kindergarten, 6 years of elementary, 4 years of junior high school with an additional 2 years for senior high school.
Moreover, the program aims to uplift the quality of education in the Philippines in order for graduates to be easily employed. The program also aims to meet the standards required for professionals who would want to work abroad.
Most importantly, the system aims to fully enhance and develop the students in order for them to be well-prepared especially in emotional and cognitive aspects. Through this, graduates will be able to face the pressures of their future workplace.
Well, adding years to the national education system is one way of looking at the DepEd's future plan to maintain our global competitiveness. DepEd says that a K-12 program will improve the chances for youth employment as it is aimed to improve technical-vocational skills through focusing on arts, aquaculture and agriculture, among others. The K-12, it further states, will ensure that students graduating at the age of 18 will have jobs, thus making them “employable” even without a college degree. The k+12 curricula will be a help to our economic condition as well as the improvement of human potentials. It will cater to the contemporary needs of society since we are exposed with so many problems..e.g.; economic crises, etc. the Filipino graduates will be globally competitive and with high self-discipline and with skills that will be their armor when they entered to the battle field.
Let's hope that this newly implemented curriculum will bring out the best education that the Filipino students needed the most to have a brighter future.
