Globalization in now challenging term in the Philippines.

On May 15, 2013, then-

President Benigno S. Aquino III signed RA 10533 into law with the main goals of raising
education standards in the nation and bringing the Philippine educational system into
line with worldwide norms. With the introduction of the K-12 program, the basic
education cycle was increased from ten to thirteen years, bringing it closer to the
systems of many developed countries. I'm reminded of the significant impact it has had
on Filipino kids' lives and the overall educational scene. There are lot of people do not
agree on this act, but there is have also agree with this implementation. Because of the
former educational system is very problematic, there is lot of flaws that need to be
addressed, so they will agree to this act. it is aims to enhance and strengthen the
Philippine base education like its is strengthen that the Philippine educational system
would ease quality and globally comparative. It is also increasing several a year of basic
education so that our graduate will have a par to other graduate of different school and
part of the globe. And appropriating funds need for the changes to be implemented
other problem to be addressed. The government must provide free education to all
pupils as required by law, preventing socioeconomic status from being a hindrance to
learning. The marginalized groups in society now have more access to educational
opportunities, offering them a chance to end the cycle of poverty via education.
Additionally, the law calls for the creation of inclusive education programs and
acknowledges the special requirements of students, including those with disabilities.
On this act represents a substantial change in the Philippine educational landscape,
intending to give kids a more comprehensive education and greater possibilities for the
future, even though it has been received with a variety of perspectives and difficulties
since its adoption. However, there are other Filipinos who support this law because
they believe it will boost their country's global competitiveness and bring their
educational system more in line with international standards. This is essential if Filipino
graduates are to compete internationally and be better prepared for higher education
and the global employment market. The senior high school offers specialized paths,
such as technical-vocational, sports, and artistic ones, allowing students to explore their
interests and gain expertise in their desired sector early on. The advocates of Holistic
Development emphasize that by providing students with a more comprehensive
education that incorporates values and life skills, they can have a better career because
of specialization. They are advocating for a holistic development; it also increases
employment opportunities. With more years of education, K-12 graduates are expected
to have better employment prospects and are more likely to secure jobs that offer higher
wages and better benefits. By extending the basic education cycle, K-12 aims to reduce
overcrowding in colleges and universities, allowing higher education institutions to
focus on more specialized and advanced courses. Additionally, there are Filipinos who
are opposed to this law. The K–12 education law in the Philippines is under fire because
of resource shortages, financial constraints, delays in entering the workforce, and
worries about the standard of education. The prolonged schooling years, according to
critics, might increase family costs and postpone students' entry into the workforce.
Some people also contend that the specialized tracks could not be in line with what
employers are looking for, which could result in an excess of supply or a scarcity. The
formulation of the curriculum, student and parent adjustment, and teacher preparation
are all transition-related problems. The discussion rages on as stakeholders evaluate the
program's success and make the required modifications.

The Philippine government implemented the Basic Education Act of 2013 because it is a
fundamental reform to the nation's educational system that will change the educational
landscape and show off the Philippines' advantages in doing so. The universal
kindergarten program is one of RA 10533's benefits. Every child in the Philippines will
have access to early childhood education due to this provision, regardless of their
socioeconomic status. The importance of this cannot be emphasized because
kindergarten serves as the foundation for a child's future academic success. Children
are better prepared to develop critical social and cognitive skills when they begin their
education earlier, which creates the conditions for academic success. and Holistic
Education, which recognizes the fact that academic knowledge alone is insufficient for
success in the current world, as well as the Nurturing Well-Rounded Individuals. The
law emphasizes the growth of analytical thinking, creativity, interpersonal abilities, and
emotional intelligence. This all-encompassing approach to education develops well-
rounded individuals capable of making significant contributions to their communities
and giving pupils the tools, they need to adapt to a society that is constantly changing.
Additionally, The RA 10533, which supports Mother Tongue-Based Multilingual
Education (MTB-MLE) and the K–12 curriculum, is an important reform in the
Philippines. By making basic education a 12-year cycle, it harmonizes the Philippine
educational system with global norms. To reinforce the system's base, it also requires
improved teacher preparation and professional growth. It is also regarded as an
updated curriculum because it can incorporate 21st-century skills and supporting
learner-centered methodologies. It encourages underprivileged students by offering
them grants and financial aid, guaranteeing that everyone may access school. This act
establishes a thorough system of review and assessment to make sure students are
meeting their learning objectives. and to improve planning, policy drafting, and
coordination within the Department of Education. This will also promote governance
and accountability in the education sector. The education system becomes more
effective and responsive to students and instructors as a result.
