SY 2005-2010
ď¨ The graph shows
that many
students who
finished basic
education do not
possess
sufficient
mastery of basic
competencies
7. Cohort Survival Rate
ď¨ This shows that of
the 100 students
who enrolled in Gr.
I, only 65 students
reached First Year
HS and 46 of which
graduated HS
graduates, only 20
reached college
level and 16 earned

10. ISSUES
AND CHALLENGES
Vertical and Lateral Articulation
of Curricula from
Basic Educationto HigherEducation:
A Pioneering Effort
for Global Competitiveness
11. Global Competitiveness
ď¨ is the existence of competition among
diverse organizations that serve global
customers.
ď¨ An index of the competitiveness of the
countries in the world is compiled every year
by the World Economic Forum.
12. The Assumption
â A focus on global competitiveness in our
educational institution must start from BASIC
EDUCATION.
ď Basis of the assumption:
â Global competitiveness starts at the tertiary
level- Instant transformation
â Underlying Assumption:
â Students must be able to develop a
personalized lateral correlations of knowledge
and experience provided by educational
institution
13. On becoming
globally competitive
⢠Quality of Education:
â Planned/structured curriculum
⢠Internal Efficiency:
â Educational Output
⢠Strong System of Governance:
â Sense of Responsibility and Accountability
⢠Great Educational Investments:
â Educational Inputs
⢠Quality of Teachers:
â Teacher Induction Program

15. Horizontal and Vertical
Articulation of Curricula
ď¨ Horizontal Alignment
ď¨ Horizontal alignment is the degree to which
an assessment matches the corresponding
content standards for a subject area at a
particular grade level. Assessments must
match the breadth and depth of the
standards to be considered strongly aligned.

16. Horizontal and Vertical
Articulation of Curricula
ď¨ Reasons forensuring horizontal alignment.
ď¤ When strongly aligned, standards and assessments
bring clarity to the education systemby providing a
coherent set of expectations forstudents and
educators.
ď¤ The assessments concretely represent the
standards, providing a target upon which teachers
can focus theirinstruction and students can focus
theirstudies.
ď¤ Using classroom instruction that follows the
standards, teachers can effectively prepare their
students forthe accountability assessments.

18. Horizontal and Vertical
Articulation of Curricula
ď¨ Reasons forensuring horizontal alignment
ď¤ Alignment to the standards also ensures that the
assessment is a trustworthy source of data.
ď¤ A study of an assessmentâs degree of alignment to
the standards can serve as evidence of validity. A
valid assessment produces data that can be
interpreted as demonstrating a studentâs achievement
in the subject area which the assessment covers
ď¤ Alignment can also increase an assessmentâs
reliability, the capability of producing consistent
measurements of student achievement.

19. Horizontal and Vertical
Articulation of Curricula
ď¨ Vertical Alignment.
ď¨ Vertical alignment is the alignment of different
parts of an entire education system.
ď¤ Curricula,
ď¤ textbook content
ď¤ opinions of stakeholders,
ď¤ classroom instruction
ď¤ student achievement outcomes
ď¨ It can occur at broad or specific levels of an
education system. When standards based
accountability tests are established, teachers plan
classroom instruction in a way that follows the
standards
ď¨ (Po rte r, 20 0 2; We bb, 1 9 9 7 b).
20. Horizontal and Vertical
Articulation of Curricula
ď¨ The standards and assessments
themselves must be vertically aligned
with one another so that they reflect
the logical, consistent order for
teaching the content in a subject area
from one grade level to the next.
21. Horizontal and Vertical
Articulation of Curricula
ď¨ The accountability assessment results provide
feedback about the strength of the education
system. This data can be used by policymakers to
evaluate the different levels of the education
system and to make changes for improvement
accordingly.
ď¨ These changes bring the education system into
closer alignment so that its parts function in
parallel toward their common goal. Ultimately,
rigorous standards serve as the main force for the
vertical alignment of an education system
