Importance of Edukasyong Pantahanan at Pangkabuhayan with Entrepreneurship in the

K-12 Curriculum

While the society all around is developing with technology and innovations, the
K-12 schools have been in a stagnant scenario. Education is the driving force behind
every country’s economy, directly or indirectly. Sure, many schools have adapted to
modernization, and have started making students work in groups to solve problems,
learn online and integrate science with arts. But it is noticed even then, students that are
graduating lack the advanced skills and innovative thinking to work through the modern-
day challenges in the workplace. Thus, entrepreneurship, the capacity to not only start
companies, but also to think creatively and ambitiously, is very important to be included
in school curriculum.

Entrepreneurship education aids students from all socioeconomic backgrounds

to think outside to think outside the box and nurture unconventional talents and skills. It
creates opportunities, ensure social justice, instills confidence and stimulates the
economy. Entrepreneurship education is a lifelong learning process, starting as early as
elementary school and progressing through all levels of education, including adult
education.
 Introducing your kids to entrepreneurship develops their initiative and helps them
to be more creative and self-confident in whatever they undertake and to act in a
socially responsible way.

Components of EPP in the K-12 Curriculum

A. Industrial Arts

Industrial art has an importance role to play as part of general education in our
modern society. Each day our world becomes more mechanized and technical with the
invention and production of more labor0savign devices. Many tradesmen and technician
are needed to install, operate and service these modern pieces of equipment. Industrial
arts offer the student an opportunity to acquire some insight into various technical and
trade areas. Lab or shop classes are not designed to turn out tradesmen or technician
but are for the purpose of acquainting the students with various occupations requiring
some type of mental manual skill. Industrial art class experiences will have carry-over
value in later life, in job situations, in consumer knowledge, or possibly in home
maintenance. Vocational Building Trades provides students an opportunity to explore
twenty areas of pre-apprenticeship training for those that are considering construction
as a career. Craftsmanship is not dead; it just has to be taught and honored.

• Carpentry is a skilled trade and a craft in which the primary work

performed is the cutting, shaping and installation of building materials
during the construction of buildings, ships, timber bridges, concrete
formwork, etc. Carpenters traditionally worked with natural wood and did
the rougher work such as framing, but today many other materials are also
used and sometimes the finer trades of cabinetmaking and furniture
building are considered carpentry.
• Plumbing may be defined as the practice, materials and fixtures used in
installing, maintaining, and altering piping, fixtures, appliances and
appurtenances in connection with sanitary or storm drainage facilities, a
venting system and public or private water supply systems. Plumbing does
not include drilling water wells; installing water softening equipment; or
manufacturing or selling plumbing fixtures, appliances, equipment, or
hardware. A plumbing system consists of three parts: an adequate potable
water supply system; a safe, adequate drainage system; and ample
fixtures and equipment.
• Electronics is the study of how to control the flow of electrons. It deals
with circuits that are made with parts called components and connecting
wires that control the flow of electricity and direct it to do useful things.
• Metal works is the process of shaping and reshaping metal to create
useful objects, parts, assemblies and large-scale structures.
• Electrical is defined as something related to electricity, which is energy
resulting from charged particles. When a wire carries electric current to
your television or refrigerator, this is an example of an electrical wire.
 • Orthographic drawing/CAD are a very common style of drawing and are
easily created with AutoCAD.

B. Home Economics

Is a field of study that is primary concerned with strengthening family life and
increasing productivity of individuals in the social economy. It synthesizes knowledge
from arts and science-based disciplines to improve manipulative skills, organizational
skills and social skills.

Home Economics is a broad filed of knowledge and services concerned with all
phases of family life. It is also a skilled-oriented subject which is capable of equipping
the individuals with basic skills and knowledge that will help them to be self-reliant and
thereby contribute to the social and economic development of the individual, the family,
and the nation at large.

freedoms and opportunities and improving their well-being. Human
development is about the real freedom ordinary people have to decide
who to be, what to do, and how to live.
C. Agriculture

Is the science and art of cultivating plants and livestock. Agriculture was the key
development in the rise of sedentary human civilization, whereby farming of
domesticated species created food surpluses that enabled people to live in cities. The
history of agriculture began thousands of years ago. After gathering wild grains
beginning at least 105,000 years ago, nascent farmers began to plan them around
11,500 years ago.

• Livestock Production- is commonly defined as domesticated animals

raised in an agricultural setting to produce labor and commodities such as
meat, eggs, milk, fur, leather, and wool.
• Agricultural economics- is an applied field of economics concerned with
the application of economic theory in optimizing the production and
distribution of food and fiber.
