The K to 12 Program

Covers:

• The K to 12 Program covers 13 years of

basic education
• 1 year of Kindergarten
• 6 years of primary education
• 4 years of Junior High School
• 2 years of Senior High School
Why are we implemening 12 years of basic education?

• The Philippines is the last country in Asia

and one of only three countries worldwide
with a 10-year pre-service university cycle
(Angola and Djibouti are the other two).
• A 12-year program is found to be the best
period for learning under basic education. It
is also the recognized standard for students
and professionals globally.
How will the K to 12 affect the college
curriculum?

• The College General Education curriculum

will have fewer units. Subjects that have been
taken up in Basic Education will be removed
from the College Education curriculum.
• Details of the new GE curriculum may be
found in CHED Memorandum Order No. 20,
series of 2013.
