The implementation of K-12 curriculum in the country drew negative reactions from various
societal groups. Since 2011, critics have been very vocal on their primary concerns. They insist the
government isn’t yet ready for this new system and that this is more of additional burden to students and
their parents.
Despite calls to suspend the program, the government remained firm saying this new educational
system offers opportunities for Filipino students and the national economy.
For its part, the Department of Education (DepEd) stresses that the country is prepared for a big
shift in education system. In fact, it has worked to fulfill the gaps on the number of classrooms, teachers,
and textbooks. Also, it has finished the planning phases along with stakeholders. But what does K-12
scheme really have to offer to students?
To prove that K-12 system is more than just adding two more years to high school, below are
three of the many practical benefits of schooling under a 13-year education cycle:
Preparedness for tertiary learning – With adaptation of K-12 scheme, students are expected to
graduate at age a bit older than past graduates. This is an advantage, according to DepEd, as graduates
will be considered young adults. Hence, they will be more equipped to deal with much higher level of
learning as they enter college education.
Readiness to join the workforce – Unlike the old system, K-12 does not compel each student to
take college after completing Senior High School (SHS). In fact, this scheme empowers students to make
a choice on their own. They may not pursue college education especially if they have chosen a track other
than academic track. The good thing is SHS graduates will be equipped with skills (through electives) that
will make them good at certain field(s).
Skill competency in the global job market – K-12 system aims to improve Filipino students’
mathematical, scientific, and linguistic competence. With the new curriculum, DepEd promised to offer
higher quality education through tracks. Each track will give students enough time to master a field and
enhance their skills. In the end, K-12 graduates will become globally competitive and are set to obtain
spot in the stiff labor market.
The government believes that K to 12 curriculum in the Philippines will put Filipino students at
par with the rest of the world. Truly, investing in education is the key toward reaching national growth
and development.
The feasibility report will look at how a certain proposal can work
in a long-term basis or endure financial risks that may come. It is also
helpful in recognizing potential cash flow. Another important purpose is
that it helps planners focus on the project and narrow down the
possibilities. Accordingly, a feasibility study can provide reasons not to
pursue the said project or proposal. When it comes to the operational
aspect, the analysis determines whether the plan has the necessary
resources for it to be practicable. Truman Mox will also help you figure
out whether or not the people will support the subsequent product or
service. Additionally, you can have knowledge on the trends because a
feasibility study looks at the present-day market and studies the
anticipated growth of your target business sector.
