REALITY CHECK (Dep Ed Challenges)
The Washington Accord prescribes 12 years of basic
education as an entry to recognition of engineering
professionals.

The Philippines is the only

remaining country in Asia with a
10-year pre-university program.
The Bologna Process requires 12 years of education for
university admission and practice of profession in European
countries.
Why K to 12?

Economy
Where are we at now?
•Insufficient mastery of basic competencies is common due to a
congested curriculum. The 12 year curriculum is being delivered in 10
years.
•High school graduates are younger than 18 years old and lack basic
competencies and maturity. They cannot legally enter into contracts
and are not emotionally mature for entrepreneurship / employment.
•Other countries view the 10-year education cycle as insufficient.

Rationale:
-Provide sufficient time for mastery learning
-Develop life-long learners
- preparing graduates for tertiary education, middle-level skills development,
-employment and entrepreneurship
“We need to add two years to our basic education. Those who
can afford pay up to fourteen years of schooling before
university. Thus, their children are getting into the best
universities and the best jobs after graduation. I want at least
12 years for our public school children to give them an even
chance at succeeding.”

six domains of Kindergarten:
1) values education,
2) physical health and motor development,
3) social and emotional development,
4) cognitive development,
5) creative arts and
6) language literacy and communication.

integrative approach to ensure that no
learning domain is taught in isolation.
Teaching–learning activities are play-based
considering the developmental stage of
Kindergarteners.

 Grading System… K to 12 Way

The levels of assessment are defined as follows:

1. Know/edge - the substantive content of the
curriculum, the facts and information that the student
acquires
2. Process - skills or cognitive operations that the student
performs on facts and information for the purpose of constructing
meanings or understandings
3. Understandings - enduring big ideas, principles and
generalizations inherent to the discipline, which may be
assessed using the facets of understanding or other indicators of
understanding which may be specific to the discipline
4. Products/Performances - real-life application of understanding
as evidenced by the student's performance of authentic tasks
 Grading System… K to 12 Way

a. Beginning (B) - The student at this level struggles with his/her

understanding; prerequisite and fundamental knowledge and/or skills have not
been acquired or developed adequately to aid understanding.
b. Developing (D) - The student at this level possesses the minimum
knowledge and skills and core understandings, but needs help throughout
the performance of authentic tasks.
c. Approaching Proficiency (AP) - The student at this level has
developed the fundamental knowledge and skills and core understandings and,
with little guidance from the teacher and/or with some assistance from peers,
can transfer these understandings through authentic performance tasks.
d. Proficient (P) - The student at this level has developed the fundamental
knowledge and skills and core understandings, and can transfer them
independently through authentic performance tasks.
e. Advanced (A) - The student at this level exceeds the core requirements in
terms of knowledge, skills and understandings, and can transfer them
automatically and flexibly through authentic performance tasks.
