Introduction
Background of the Study

It was said the high school graduates are not adequately prepared for the world of work

( most of the basic education graduates are too young to legally enter the labor force [

legal age would be 18 ] k-12 is for enhancing the quality of basic education . K- 12

programs covers kindergarten and 12years of basic education ( 6 years of primary

education, (4) years of Junior High School (JHS) and two (2) years of Senior High School

(SHS) to provide sufficient time for master of concept and skill, develop lifelong learners,

and prepare graduates for tertiary education where the upcoming Senior High School

students may choose a specialization based on the attitude, interest and school capacity.

Each student in a particular Senior High School can choose among the three (3) tracks;

Academic, Technical- Vocational Livelihood, Sports and Art Tracks. The academic track

includes three strand which are Business Accountancy Management (BAM) in Father

Urios Institute of Technology of Ampayon Inc. they call it (ABM), Hummanities Education

Social Sciences (HESS) also known as (HUMMS) and Science Technology Engineering

and Mathematics (STEM). These tracks will provide students relevant exposure and

actual experience in their chosen track.

The enhanced K-12 curriculum is design to provide a holistic education for all. Now

decongested, it will give students ample time to master basic academic skills as well as

to participate in co- curricular and community activities. This new curriculum will also

support college graduates seeking for work abroad.

 The importance of this study is it brings answer to the reader’s doubts and questions

towards the implementation of the curriculum and to give realization to the readers of how

effective it has been specially in TVL Track of Father Urios Institute of Technology of

Review of Related Literature and Studies

Foreign Literature

Waugh 2013 cited, high standard of living, is an important part of culture and values.

The education system has a significant and direct impact on the quality of our workforce

our economic productivity and ultimately, our ability to prosper as business, as people,

and as a nation rely on our private schools to provide highly skilled and educated talent.

K-12 is a solution to create opportunities that will help all children from the time they enter

the classroom to when they join the workforce – McCleary. (2012)

This study focuses on education and its role in shaping the future of students in K to

12 Curriculum in response to global competitiveness particularly in ASEAN Economic

Community. At this pace of changing society and economy a lot of actions should take

place. They have to face a lot of challenges especially educators who are being ask to do

more with less due to rapidly evolving technologies and ongoing shifts in global economy

and demography. A successful education system will need to be of paramount importance

of multicultural society to succeed and prosper in the future. Education is a gateway to a

better job and greater learning potential. One key to understand this issue is an

appreciation of the overall landscape education and training.

K to 12 Basic Education Program Law states that the graduate of basic education shall

be empowered individual who has learned, through a program that is rooted on sound

educational principles and geared towards excellence, the foundations for learning

throughout life, the competence to engage in work and be productive, the ability to coexist

in fruitful harmony with local and global communities, the capability to engage in
autonomous, creative, and critical thinking, and the capacity and willingness to transform

others and one’s self. ( Legal Basis).

THE ROLE OF EDUCATION

Connelly. (2013) cited that schools have always played a vital role in ensuring that

students have a skills needed for the job or career they have chosen.

The key function of education is to fully prepare students for life after schooling

preparation for the world of work is a necessary and vital part of that equation. As our

society and economy continues to evolve, it may be time to rethink how public education

aids students in choosing career and education pathways, additionally , due to the present

economic and social changes in our government is dealing with, it is imperative that we

think more deeply about the future of those students who will enter the workforce

immediately after high school.

Foreign Studies

Teacher education programs nationally face the challenge for preparing future

educators for a rapidly changing classroom environment. New teachers can expect to

enter classroom that are increasingly culturally diverse, and that require new approaches

to educating children for success in the flat, globally interdependent economy and society

in which students live and eventually will work. This requires preparing students not only

with a strong foundation in core academic subjects, but also with the knowledge, skills,

and points of view necessary to interact successfully across a variety of cultural groups

as well as grapple with issues and problems whose causes and foundation are more

complex than ever before, issues and problems that cross local, national, and international

boundaries, and whose solutions require new approaches to problem solving. In a case

study on contextual Teaching and Learning (CTL), Sears and Hersh (2008) found out that

contextual teaching enables learning in which students employ their academic

understanding and abilities in a variety of in and out-of-school contexts to solve stimulated

or real world problems, both alone and with others. Activities in which teachers use

contextual teaching strategies helps students make connections with their roles and
 responsibilities as family members, citizens, students, and orders learning through and in

these kinds of activities is commonly characterized as a problem based, self-regulated,

occurring in a variety of contexts including the community and or sites, involving teams or

learning groups, and responsive to a host of diverse learners needs and interest. Further,

contextual teaching and learning emphasis higher level thinking, knowledge transfer, and

the collection, analysis, and synthesis of information from multiple sources and

viewpoints.

Local Studies

Filipinos are known to be competitive in the international community. However,

our current education system hinders us from becoming even more competitive.

Starting in the 2012-2013 school year, the education system of the Philippines

was enhanced from the ten years of basic education to a 12-year program through an

initiative called K-12 Education Plan sponsored by the Department of Education. The

implementation of K-12 plan in the Philippine Basic Education Curriculum is the key to our

nation’s development. Through the government faces many problems as it implements

the program over the course of several years, it is a necessary improvement since

increasing the quality of our education is critical to our nation’s success.

1. Sufficient Instructional Time

 With K-12 education, students will have sufficient instructional time for subject-related

tasks, making them more prepared in every subject area. With the old system, Filipino

students were consistently behind on achievement scores.

In 2008, for instance, international test results revealed that Filipinos were behind

compared to other countries when we finished dead last in math.

2. More Skilled and Competent Labor Force

Another reason to support K-12 education is because the graduates of this program

will be more prepared to enter the labor force. High school graduates of the 10-year

curriculum were not yet employable since they were not competent or well – equipped

enough for the workplace.

In addition, high school graduates of the 10-year curriculum are not yet 18. With the

new curriculum, senior high school students can specialize in a field that they are good at

and interested in. As a result, upon graduation they will have the specific job-related skills

they need even without a college degree. When they graduate from high school, these

young people will be 18 and employable, adding to the nation’s manpower.

3. Recognition as Professionals Abroad

Finally, with K-12 education, Filipino graduates will be automatically recognized as

professionals abroad because we are following the international education standard as

practiced by all nations.

There will be no need to study again and spend more money in order to qualify for

international standards. With a K-12 education, Filipino professional who aspire to work
abroad will not have a hard time getting jobs in their chosen field. Furthermore, they will

be able to help their families in the Philippines more with remittances, property purchase,

and small businesses.

K-12 Education will help Filipinos Gain a Competitive Edge. Though Filipinos are

known to be competitive in the international community, our current education system

hinders us in becoming more competitive among other countries. The K-12 education plan

offers a solution to that problem.

However, it is undeniable that three will be problems that arise as we implement the

program, which could include a lack of budget, classrooms, school supplies, and teachers.

That said, the long-term effects of K-12 education will be very beneficial to us Filipinos.

A recent change in the Philippines educational system was implemented starting in

2011. The K-12 curriculum was signed into law back in 2013, adding three years to the

country’s basic education curriculum.

The new K-12 curriculum guide requires all Filipino students to have one year of

kindergarten, six years of elementary schooling (grades 1 to 6 ), four years of junior high

school ( grades 7 to 10 ), and two years of senior high school ( grades 11 to 12 ).

The Southeast Asian Ministers of Education Organization-Innotech (SEAMEO-

Innotech) found the previous 10-year educational cycle to be congested, with a 12- year

curriculum squished into 10 years.

 The K-12 curriculum is designed to enable graduates to join the workforce right after

high school, and suitably prepare those who want to go higher education.

The new curriculum will also support college graduates seeking work abroad.

Developed countries, according to the Department of Education’s (DepEd) briefer, “ view

the 10-year education cycle as insufficient.”

All in all, the enhanced K to 12 curriculum is designed to provide a holistic education

for all. Now decongested, it will give students ample time to master basic academic skills

as well as to participate in co-curricular and community activities.

The transition began in 2011, when the universal kindergarten was introduced.

Starting in 2012, schools already implemented the curriculum decongestion mentioned in

the DepEd briefer..

Public school began having half-day classes for grade on students with the mother

tongue as the medium of instruction. Private school also made adjustments in their own

DepED accredited curricular.

The adaption of K to 12 curriculum guide means that students will graduate a bit

older compared to those who graduated under the 10-year education cycle.

Far from being disadvantageous, however, DepEd states that young adults

graduating at age 18 or so will be more prepared to take on their tertiary education.

 Remedial classes during the first year college will no longer be needed, as the high

school curriculum will already aligned with the Commission on Higher Education’s (CHED)

guidelines. The government also encourages parents to think of the K to 12 curriculum

guide not as having two extra years of high school, but as two years less of higher

eduction.
