14. Key Points
• The change management process implemented by DepEd,
TESDA, and CHED demonstrated a clear case of
creating the climate for change by advocating for the
legislation of key education reforms.
• In terms of engaging and enabling the organization, the
K to 12 reform was designed to give Filipino students
or graduates a comparative advantage within a regional
and global context.

15. Key Points (cont’d)
• DepEd’s change management strategy centers on the K-
12 Curriculum which entails a radical change of break
from 10 years to 13 years of schooling with the addition
of Kindergarten and Grades 11 and 12. Other changes
embedded within K to 12 include Mother Tongue-based
Multilingual Education (MTBMLE), both as a guide to
the medium of instruction and an additional learning
area from Grades 1 to 3.
• TESDA began to implement reforms pertinent to
ASEAN integration as early as 1998. Initiated the
creation and implementation TVET which later
becomes the National Qualifications Framework.

• CHED’s initiatives pertinent to ASEAN integration
include interventions related to Outcome- Based
Education (OBE), Quality Assurance (QA),
internationalization of education and Typology Based

17. What needs to be done?
• DepEd, TESDA, and CHED’s should align their
programs and initiatives to achieve a common goal,
which is the competitive advantage of Filipino students
within a context of increasing ASEAN regional
integration.
• Constant communication within and among the leaders
and members of DepEd, TESDA, and CHED is crucial
to achieve the common goal of providing access to
quality education.
