5 ADVANTAGES of K to 12 Program

1. Kids enter college more mature. Hopefully the extra two years give them time to know what they
really want to become.

2. Immediate work after high school, without needing an extra TESDA certificate or passing college
requirements such as NSTP and board examinations. More job openings for work that previously
required a two-year college course.

3. It helps Filipino students to be ready at par with their Asian neighbor students.

4. Students will have more knowledge about topics in every subject area

5. It will enhance every student’s skills.

5 DISADVANTAGES of K to 12 Program

1. Multi-tracking can cause family and community disintegration. This occurs when siblings/neighbors
are on different tracks. Further disintegration is seen when extended family and church members are on
different tracks, or in the case of single-tracking, different inter sessions.

2. It’s an additional two years to earn a degree. People work later, they earn money later. And in this
country, where a lot of children support their family and parents, that’s a major disadvantage.

3. The gap during the transition. Depending on how the change is made. Some school ask some of their
faculty to go on furlough and have no pay during the transition period.

4. The lack of classrooms and the bloating of the curriculum you simply stretched the 10 years of the
current curriculum to 12 years of curriculum there is no improvement in content and lack of teachers.

5. The drop-out rate will increase because of the two extra years.
