 CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION

K to 12 Program covers Kindergarten and 12 years of basic education (six years of

primary education, four years of Junior High School, and two years of Senior High
School to provide sufficient time for mastery of concepts and skills, develop lifelong
learners, and prepare graduates for tertiary education, middle-level skills development,
employment, and entrepreneurship.
K-12, a term used in education and educational technology in the United States,
Canada, and possibly other countries, is a short form for the publicly-supported school
grades prior to college. These grades are kindergarten (K) and the 1st through the 12th
grade (1-12). (If the term were used, "13th grade" would be the first year of college.)
Most communities in the United States and Canada (and wherever else the term is
used) are just beginning to provide modern information technology at the K-12 levels.

According to Cornell, 2010, almost everybody knows about the current education system
that regulates the public schools. This system is already popularly known as the K-12
education. There are thirteen grades that make up the K-12 system starting from
kindergarten up to twelfth grade, thus the name K (kindergarten) to 12 (12th grade). This
kind of education system is not just applied in United States. Even those who are living
in United Kingdom, Canada, and other parts of Europe use the K-12 at the same time.
The future of the Filipino children, as cited by Magsino (2009), is marred
by various forms of uncertainties considering the critical conditions of the Philippine
socio-economic and political situations. while the rich become richer and the poor
,poorer it is evident that there is a growing need to minimize or control the rising unequal
distribution of wealth and opportunities for success among the Filipino constituents, from
which the children are greatly affected. Premised on the foregoing, education is deemed
one of the best ways to neutralize the growing inequality and make the Filipino way of
life less to poverty threats to individual, the family and society as a whole. Nevertheless,
education itself is undergoing transitions and adaptations to modern technology and to
that of globalization which creates inevitable problems that imply the need for effective
teaching in all levels from pre-elementary to post tertiary. The dynamic forces and
agents of change make obsolete the previous variables deemed effective in the past.
Hence, the teaching of different subject areas also undergoes various changes at one
time or another in response to curriculum modifications set and implemented by
educational authorities.
Educational is important in our life, it is said to be the key to our own success. all the
knowledge we adopt came from educational institution which it has systems and
programs. An educational program is a program written by the institution or ministry of
education which determines the learning progress of each subject in all the stages for
formal education. This program gives feedbacks and helps students to improve and build
their own confidence. One of the Program of DepED is K-12 Program which is the High
School extended.
Based on the forgoing discussions, the researchers was prompted to conceptualize and
conduct a study on the extent of implementation of K to 12 program particularly in
graduates in kasiglahan village senior high school(KVSHS), among with the issues
,concern and reactions of the students, parent and community on this implementation.
This study hopes to provide an objective evaluation of the variables included in the study
for the purpose of synchronizing both positive and negative issues and concerns and
enlighten the minds of the masses on the genuine purpose of the implementation of the
said program despite the glaring reality that it connotes additional expenses on the part
of the parents, and a longer time period of schooling on the part of the students.

Before considering how law is interpreted and the role it plays on society we need to be
clear about what we mean when we refer to ‘law’. What is ‘law’, how do we know it exists
and how is it defined? By asking you to think about what you mean when you use the
word ‘law’, we are asking you to draw upon your own knowledge, views and experience.

The ‘law’ is rarely out of the news and is often the focus for fictional drama. It is
something that touches our lives on a daily basis, it governs what we can and cannot do,
it is used to settle disputes, to punish and to govern. There are laws which are widely
accepted and laws which generate controversy. Laws play a central role in social,
political and economic life.

Many people think they know what the law is when they see it and your individual
viewpoint will affect how you define law. Many lawyers feel that a society cannot be
properly understood or explained without an understanding of its law and legal

school when they enter their Senior High School and to have an idea on how they will
implement the K-12 Program in their school and how they can manage and encourage
their students to continue their study in Senior High School.

For the Future Researchers, because with this study the future researcher can get
some information about the perception of the grade 10 students of Kasiglahan Village
National High School. This study can serve as a basis of their research and as a useful
resource of their curiosity.

Scope and Delimitation

The study focuses on the perception of selected in grade 10 students of Kasiglahan

Village National High School with two specific sections (Pilot section and Middle
section), the other grades and other sections regarding the implementation of K-12
Program which have been implemented under the administration of President Benigno
“Noynoy” Aquino. We decide to survey two (2) sections, the section is Rizal and Mabini
in Kasiglahan Village National High School so that we can have answers that we can
focus and rely on. This is also to get the specific answer of the random persons that are
involved with this study and to really know their perception on the curriculum.

There are fifteen students who will be survey in two section the over all of our survey is
thirty. Only the grade 10 students are part of this survey because they are the one who
will be entering the Senior High School next year (S.Y. 2020-2021) which is the added 2
years of study in high school based on K-12 Program.
