is compulsory for all children of school age. It is
divided into three stages: kindergarten (K),
elementary school (grades 1-6), and junior high
school (grades 7-10). Senior high school (grades
11-12) is now part of the basic education system
under the Enhanced Basic Education Act of
2013 (R.A. 10533).

program has been met with some
challenges, but it is slowly gaining
acceptance from parents and educators.
