CHAPTER 1
THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND
Introduction
It has been years past when K to 12 Education System starts in Philippines and
there are already tons of students who graduated in Senior High School. K to 12
education received various feedbacks during its early implementation and until now,
there are still discussion pertaining to its real effect.
K to 12 Education System aims to improve every Filipino children by providing a system
of education that can make them competent of in a global context.
President Benigno Aquino III of the Philippines signed into law a basic education
kindergarten year and two additional senior high school year was added to what was a ten
year education curriculum to make basic education twelve years. K to 12 Education
System is to improve Filipino students in academic and to master a field and enhance
their skill. The Senior High School Curriculum is an entry point to College/ University
life or business Industry. The later seen as the lesser of the two regarding prestige. It’s the
Fourth year of the K to 12 Education System implementation but until now Senior High
School Student are still in the stage of adjustment because of the new subjects and
advance lesson that is in their chosen strand. K to 12 Curriculum has different track and
strands including the ABM or the (Accounting and Business Management), STEM is
(Science Technology Engineering Mathematics), TVL which is the (Technical

Vocational Livelihood) and the HUMSS or the (Humanities and Social Science). There
are two semesters in Senior High the first two Grading are for the First Semester and the
Third and Fourth Grading are for the Second Semester, there are different subject per
semester depending on the strand.
K stands for Kindergarten and 12 Strands for the succeeding 12 year of basic
education, 6 years of elementary education, 4 years of Junior High School and 2 years of
Senior High School. It has so many Advantages and benefits since it offer a 12 year
program that gives students sufficient time to master skill and prepares student for a
lifelong learning and employment. With this kind of education system, students can apply
for a work after Senior High school since they already has skills to use in working or they
can start their own business instead of looking for a job.
If students are willing to learn in terms of business or financial literacy, it will
give a huge impact in our society. K to 12 Curriculum also give students a great
opportunity abroad since they are going to have a lot of skill. But K to 12 Curriculum
also has a disadvantage since they are adding two consecutive years. Most parents
complaints about the added 2 years their child’s education and consider it has a burden
for those students who are taking the four years course in college. Imagine, they are
expecting that after their four years in High School they will going to be a College
student or they are already taking their course. Though K to 12 Curriculum also help
students to be prepared for college in which Senior High School Teachers help students
to do research and other things. They are also providing more advance learning, the
Question is, does this mean that they are contented with the Old System? Where students

lack mystery of basic competencies because of the ten years basic education curriculum,
where graduating are not ready to get a job or start business and they do not
automatically recognize Overseas Filipino Worker or (OFW) as Professional Abroad.
And by knowing which is better, the Basic Education System or The K to 12 Curriculum?
The reason why we chose this topic is to explore the perspective of the Senior
High School Students in our School City Of Balanga National High School and to know
if the K to 12 Education System is just good or bad for them and what they think is the
better system of education the past with less years of studying? Or the present with a lot
year of studying because we will learn more and be more prepared for college level?
The purpose of our study about K to 12 systems is that for us students to be more aware
of the reason in fact the Department of Education or (Dep Ed) for short implements this
education system which is that the Philippines our country is late in terms of education
compared to other countries that already had this system. And also to expound the
learning of the Senior High School Students about the K to 12 Education System in the
City Of Balanga National High School.
If we are successful in this study we will benefit from it as students because not
only we did learn about the true reason on why K to 12 Education System is
implemented and because we will also learn on how important education which can
change and lead in the future for the next generation in this world.

Statement of the Problem
1. How may the profile of the respondents be described in terms of;
1.1. sex;
1.2. family economic status; and
1.3. family structure?
2. What are the perceptions of the Senior High School Students about the K to
12 Education System?
3. What is the difference in the Perception of Senior High School students in
City Of Balanga National High School about K to 12 Education System when
grouped according to profile?
4. What implication can be drawn from the findings of the study?
Significant of the Study
The findings of the study may give substantial information about the perceptions
of Senior High School Students in City Of Balanga National High School about K to 12
Education System.
Specifically, the research study may be beneficial to the following:
1. Students
Students may benefit from this study because they will know the different
perceptions of students on K to 12 education system. Therefore, they will learn
something new from this research. They can also think about their own perception of the

K to 12 education system. As a result, they may have more knowledge about K to 12. It’s
positive and negative effects and the views of the respondents about it.
2. Parents
Parents may also benefit from this study because they may know what K to 12
really is. Some of parents like it but some also dislike it. They will also know the
perspective of their children and the students in generation about K to 12 education
system. They can also learn if their children want to study for an extended period of time.
3. Teachers
Teachers may also benefit from this study because they may learn how students
perceive K to 12 education. They may also compare their own perception to what their
students perceived about K to 12. Thus, they will be able to guide their students properly.
They may know if their student wants to study more base from their answer. So they can
consult students with absenteeism manner who wants to work at their job if they want to
study more.
4. Government
The government may also benefits from our study. Since Department of
Education is a part of the government. If they learn the findings of the study, they may
take action because they also know the perspective of some parents about K to 12. They
can launch a seminar about what K to 12 really is and what it is all about. They may also
provide free supplies that are used for studying for the poor students.
5. Future Researchers

Most importantly the future researchers who will benefit from this study because
they will know the perceptions of the study of the previous researchers. They can also
gain some information from our study. Our study will be their reference and they can add
these to their research because someday their work can also become a reference to future
generation of researchers.
Scope and Delimitation
This study will focus on the perceptions of the Senior High School Students in
City Of Balanga National High School regarding K to 12 program. The respondents for
this research study will be students in the Senior High School Students in 20 students in
grade 11 and 20 students in grade 12 with the total of 40 respondents will be induded.
These respondents will be selected by a non-probability sampling called convenience
sampling technique where researchers will choose the respondents if they are available at
the moment the researchers will conduct the survey. The researchers will employ a
descriptive method of research and will gather data at City Of Balanga National High
School during break time, recess or lunch.
In this study, the researcher will use two survey instruments which are the
demographic survey questionnaire to gather data about the profile of the respondents and
a 5-item Yes/No Questionnaire and 5-item open question. The researchers will analyze
the profile of the respondents to see if there will be difference on their responses when
they are grouped according to sex, family economic status, and family structure.

CHAPTER 2
Review of Related Literature
As stated by Wikipedia (2008). 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 [SHS]) 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.
Due to the additional time of studying we can obtain more knowledge about the subjects
that is connected to the course that will be taken in the future, this is what K-12 brings to
make it easier for students to achieve their goals.
According to the evaluation of the Department of Education (2010). There is an
insufficient mastery of basic competencies due to the congested curriculum. Their
findings show that for every 100 freshmen only two are able to have a complete mastery
of what they have learned in their high school (Department of Education, 2010). Also
cases like high school graduates who look for jobs so as to sustain their means to pursue
tertiary education are considered unprepared because of their competencies and maturity
level. They are viewed as too young to work because of their age which is 17 or 18; also
they are not emotionally mature to handle employment and entrepreneurship. Other
countries also viewed that the10 year cycle is already insufficient due to the fact that they
were able to effectively implement the K to 12 education system. But even though
student did not realize what is the truth purpose of K to 12.

In (2019) Abueva said that 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 the K-12 Education Plan sponsored by the Department of Education. The
implement of K to 12 plan in the Philippines 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. Same goes
for the future students as well that it will be easier for them because when the time comes
they can ask help to the previous generation about their activities like research where they
can use information by the current reseachers for references.
As report by Felongo (2013) Aquino said it was the duty of the State to provide
for the needs and ensure fair and equal opportunities for all Filipinos, especially the poor
and the implementation of this education program will strengthen the basic education
requirements of students which in turn, will bring them closer to the fulfilment of their
dreams and ambitions.
“The basic principle behind this law is clear: It is the right of every Filipino to live
with dignity. On the part of the state, it is its duty that citizens would be given equal
opportunities, especially the poor,” the President said. Because of K-12 program we can
be able to gain more knowledge and not only that we can be more prepared due to the

additional two years. As a result whenever they go they can easily find a job because of
the experience the students gained.
According to Mandela (1994), education is the most powerful weapon to change
the world. Our future depends on us that is why we should study better so that we can
graduate, but in the past basic education program we cannot do that due to the low quality
of education here in the Philippines, so the government implemented the K-12 so that we
can learn more and be much prepared.
As stated by Rizal, the youth is the hope of the future. This is one of the reason
why K-12 was implemented so that we can have enough skills to lead the future
generation, but our skill lacks so it is good that we have K-12 program.
According to Moser, education costs money, but then so does ignorance. Many
parents is not in favor of the K-12 because they say if there is no K-12 their children
might be working now and they will not spend more money due to the additional two
years of studying, but they do not know that they will just spend more money if they will
ignore the additional two years because of lack of knowledge they will take board exams
repeatedly because of failing.
As stated by Regiliente (2017), the K-12 program was implemented by the
government to help the youth and to cope up with the education, not only in Asia, but
also in the whole world. K-12 was implemented because students go to college with not
enough knowledge, skills, and readiness so K-12 can really help us. We also need to be

equal with other countries because we are late in education due to the previous basic
education system.
According to Social Weather Station (2010), three out of every 10 Filipinos that
has age eighteen and above have no job and this is the highest unemployment rate in the
Philippines. That is why poor education can affect the name of Philippines where in there
are many students that can graduate but cannot be employed because of lack of skills.
That is why K-12 is a better education where we can easily get a job in the future.
As stated by Palatino, in the present there are millions of children that cannot go
to school because of poverty and being costly of education and due to continuous rise of
price families are having difficulty to budget their money that is another reason why the
education of youth is being left behind. Because of the different perspective of the society
about K-12 program there are plenty of people saying that they only get into a more
difficult situation due to buying of school supplies which can lead to not going to school,
but if there is no K-12 they will have difficulty to get a job which will lead to more
expenses.

Review of Related Studies
According to Sarmiento (2016), the study is a review of the literature on the basic
education (K-12) curriculum specifically the senior high school (SHS) of the Philippines,
Japan, and the US. Results of the review show that the SHS curriculum is intended to
prepare students to enter into college/university or to work in the industry or be an
entrepreneur. The SHS program is the last level in all basic education programs of the
countries reviewed. The Philippines has a clearer model with at least four tracks
(academics, tech-voc, sports, arts & design) and at least ten strands. Japan has two tracks
in academics and tech-voc. The US basic education system varies from state to state,
similar to its SHS curriculum. There is no definite track as this is left to individual state
and their school districts to decide. There are purely academic, tech-voc and other types
of schools. The majority of those who choose academic track are students who plans to
proceed to college. There are still a stigma in selecting tech-voc and other courses as this
are seen by many as the course for poor performing/problematic students. The enrollment
in tech-voc schools in the US is declining despite the surge of demand for skilled
workers. In the three countries, the availability of qualified teachers is still an issue. This
situation is very real in the Philippines as it started the SHS program in June 2016. Other
problem includes the need to construct a huge number of classrooms and facilities. All of
these are currently being addressed too by the government. By implementing K-12
students have more time to choose their course because some students are confused on
what will they do in the future. That is why there is a GAS (General Academic Strand)

for the students that is confused up until now so that in the two years of studying they can
think more about the course they will take.
In his study, Tullao (2007) indicated that there is a need to upgrade human
resources through various forms of investment in human capital in order to reap the
benefits of an e-pended global trade in services! This upgrading process is intended not
only to protect Filipino professionals from foreign competition but more importantly to
build a strong human resource infrastructure in the light of a globalized trading
environment!. Pacifically, the readiness to compete internationally should be viewed in
terms of the ability of local professionals to meet the standards and human resource
requirements of foreign as well as domestic companies. This K-12 program can help
students to improve their ability because in two years of studying because there are
subjects that are related to the course they want to be in.
On the other hand, Magno (2013) cited that teachers are one of the key elements
in any school and effective teaching is one of the key propellers for school improvement.
This review is concerned with how to define a teacher’s effectiveness and what makes an
effective teacher. It draws out implications for policymakers in education and for
improving classroom practice. This K-12 education system can make your work easier
because aside from the knowledge and preparedness, students can also gain experience
which can help them for finding work to be easier, sometimes if the student gained so
much knowledge and experience the companies will be the one to go after them.
Furthermore, the study of Dejarme (2008) suggested that in order for schools and
universities to cope with new innovations, they should keep at pace with the tempo of

societal changes and technological progress. The schools of today should participate in
the educational and social revolution. Thus, the curriculum in Philippine schools today
has to be geared to the rapid societal changes and the new responsibilities for the new
breed of Filipinos. The three most important sectors of society that give direct input to the
improvement of the curriculum are the academe (institutions), the government, and the
industries (both public and private companies). For them to catch up about the new
education system.
In PASCN Discussion Paper, Tullao (2000), emphasized different perfectives/
views on the readiness of professionals to compete internationally - First, the facility of
Filipinos to work abroad and compete with foreign professionals with similar skills and
competence. Second, the ability of professionals to compete with foreign professionals
entering the local economy. The third perspective is focused on the ability of
professionals to meet the standards and human resource requirements of foreign
enterprises as well as domestic companies in their use of various services. The first and
second views are premised on the need to improve human resources in order to prepare
Filipino professionals for foreign competition here and abroad within a liberalized global
market for services. The third perspective, on the other hand, prepares professionals as an
investment in human capital as part of expanding the infrastructure of the economy. Such
preparation will have the effect of making local professionals competitive here and
abroad plus making the Philippines an attractive site for foreign investment because of
the quality of professional services. In effect the country does not prepare its
professionals merely to protect them from foreign competition but more so to build a

strong human resource infrastructure. The students will be ready in the future due to the
K-12 program because in additional two years of studying this can make students to be
more of a leader, to have more knowledge, to be more prepared, to find job easily, and
for their brighter future.
