-The source of my answer was from the ppt.
1. What are the reasons for coming up with K-12?
1.1 The additional two years hopes to address the deteriorating quality of
Philippine education system as revealed by the low achievement score of the
Filipino students in the National Achievement Test (NAT) – This was discussed in
the prepared discussion paper on “Enhanced K to 12 Education Program” by
DepEd in the last quarter of 2010.
1.2 Another reason is the unpreparedness for unemployment, entrepreneurship
or higher education of the Filipino High School graduates because of the
congested ten year curriculum.
1.3 Since the educational ladder of almost all countries is 12 years, the additional
two years make the Philippine education system comparable and recognized in
meeting international standards.
2. What are the salient features of K-12 Program?
2.1 Universal Kindergarten or the mandated Kindergarten for 5 years old
learners.
2.2 Contextualization and enhancement by making the curriculum relevant to
learners – students provided with in-depth acquisition of knowledge, skills, values
and attitudes across all levels and subjects with Information and Communication
Technology (ICT) Integration; Mother-Tongue Based Instruction serves as
foundation for learning Filipino and English.
2.3 Mastery of knowledge and skills is done by introducing simple concepts in
spiral progression in subject areas like Mathematics and Science.
2.4 The two years of Senior High School is a specialization based on the learners’
aptitude and interest. Grade 11 and 12 SHS will define the choice of career track
the students choose to take up. Students take the core curriculum composed of
15 tracks: Academic Track, Technical-Vocational Livelihood Track, Arts and Design
Track, Humanities and Social Sciences and others.
