What’s new?
DepEd’s MATATAG K to 10 curriculum
• One of the "issues" discovered in the existing K to 10 curriculum was
that it was "overloaded" with too many lessons or subjects.
• Recognizing that necessary revisions to the curriculum are needed
“avert further learning losses,” DepEd released the revised curriculum
for Kindergarten to Grade 10 called the “MATATAG K to 10
Curriculum.”
• To emphasize the development of foundational skills such as literacy,
numeracy, and socio-emotional skills among younger learners, the
revised K to 10 curriculum cuts down the number of subjects in Grades
1 and 2 from seven to five.
• While the pilot implementation starts this year, DepEd will implement,
in phases, the MATATAG K to 10 curriculum beginning SY 2024-2025.
