What is Senior High School?
• Senior High School
(SHS) refers to the
last two years of the
K to 12 Program,
and includes Grades
11 and 12.
• In SHS, students
will go through a
core curriculum and
subjects under a
track of their
choice.
DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION 36
 Will SHS mean two more years
of High School?

Yes. These two additional years will equip

learners with skills that will better prepare them
for the future, whether it be:
• Employment
• Entrepreneurship
• Skills Development (Further Tech-Voc training)
• Higher Education (College)

DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION 37
 Is SHS really neccessary?

• YES, because the law now prescribes that

SHS is a part of compulsory basic education.
• Once SHS is fully implemented in SY 2016-
17, you will need to go through it in order to
graduate High School.

What if I do not want to go to SHS?

• Technically, it’s your choice. But you

won’t get a High School diploma.
• You will be called a Grade 10 completer,
but you will miss out on the benefits of a
full High School graduate.

DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION 41
What are the benefits of SHS?
SHS has been developed to
lead you to one of four
career pathways or exits –
almost like doors for which
SHS is the key:
1. Employment
2. Entrepreneurship
3. Higher Education
4. Middle Skills
Development

DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION 42
 Employment

Learners are more prepared for work

• For technical and vocational careers, you
will already be able to apply for TESDA
Certificates.
• For most choices, private company
partners are ready to take you on for
immersion (work and gain experience while
studying), training and hiring.

DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION 43
Entrepreneurship

You will be equipped with

the skills to either start
your own business, or
continue running your
family business.

DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION 44
Higher Education

Some College and University

core subjects have now been
integrated into SHS, which
means less repetition.

If you do go to college, the

subjects you take on will be
more focused and more
relevant to your chosen course.

DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION 45
 Middle Skills Development
• This benefit applies to Technical and
Vocational careers. While at SHS, you will
already learn specialized skills.

• Continuing education at other Tech-Voc

institutions means being able to get to more
advanced subjects faster.

DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION 46
 Will the additional two years
of High School mean
additional expenses?
• NOT NECESSARILY. SHS “completes”
basic education by making sure that the
high school graduate is equipped for work,
entrepreneurship, or higher education.
• This is a step up from the 10-year cycle
where high school graduates still need
further education (and expenses) to be
ready for the world.
