PARTICULAR STRAND FOR SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL”

INTRODUCTION

They have difficulties in choosing strand because they don’t know what are they going

to take because of lack of knowledge on what strand that’s fit for them. Some of them

didn’t know what they want to be someday that’s why they can’t choose properly.

The K to 12 Program covers . Kinder garden and 12 years of basic education

(six years of primary education, four years of Junior High School, and two year 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.

Senior High School Students Through interaction with the context of School, and

Community learn about and explore the strands that ultimately lead to career choice.

The influence of Family, School and Community Culture played a critical role in shaping

the youth’s Occupational choice. The economic and social circumstances of the
