The Matatag curriculum has several key features: - It focuses on foundational literacy and numeracy skills, especially in early grades. - It reduces the number of learning competencies to decongest the curriculum. - As the grade level increases, it shifts from low-level cognitive demands to higher-order thinking skills. - It emphasizes 21st century skills like technology, communication, learning, and career skills.
