The document discusses the K-12 Basic Education Program introduced by the Department of Education in the Philippines. It aims to address issues with the previous 10-year basic education program such as low achievement scores, insufficient mastery of competencies, and graduates lacking basic skills. The K-12 program enhances the curriculum and extends basic education to 12 years, in line with international standards. It is expected to benefit students by improving education quality, preparing graduates for employment or higher education, and developing important skills for life and work.

education in the Philippines is
urgent and critical
2.The poor quality of basic
education is reflected in the low
achievement scores of Filipino
students.

13. 3. The congested curriculum partly
explains the present state of education
4. This quality of education is reflected in the
inadequate preparation of high school
graduates for the world of work or
entrepreneurship or higher education
5. Further, most graduates are too young to
enter the labor force.
6.The current system also reinforces the
misperception that basic education is just a
preparation for higher education.

14. 7. Our graduates are not automatically
recognized as professionals abroad.

children to give them an even
chance at succeeding.”

BasicEducationProgram
The K-12 program will respond to the
need of developing the country’s
competitiveness. The challenges of
ASEAN 2015, particularly the opening
up of the ASEAN economic
community by 2015, puts much
pressure to our county. Thus there’s a
need to ensure that our graduates in
basic education have skills and
competencies that will allow them to
be at par with the global standards.

42. K-12
BasicEducationProgram
We need to prepare our youth so that they
will have an equal chance to be employed in
a more open single economic community.
ASEAN is expected, in the very near future,
to openly hire people within the region that
have the capacity to respond to job
challenges. Of course, we don’t want our
graduates to have a slim chance of being
hired by big companies even in our own
country. We also want them to have the
ability to participate in knowledge and
wealth creation both for themselves and the
Philippines.
