Philippine basic education has been undergoing series of changes, modifications and

improvement in the curriculum areas. Changes within the educational system have been
constantly implemented by the Department of Education to adopt the Philippine educational
system to the needs and demands of globalization.
These were experienced by the elementary and secondary teachers, especially of public
schools. Some of these changes were manifested in curriculum programs and activities, which
include the use of different approaches and teaching strategies such as the Cooperative
Learning strategy, the Four Pronged Approach, UBD in the secondary level and the change of
the time allotment in the teaching of different subject areas, and lately the inclusions of the use
of both English and the Mother Tongue as the medium of instruction
most recently, the implementation of K to 12 initiated in the school year 2012-2013 was
considered the most astounding among the series of changes in the Philippine educational
system.
