Philippine K-12 Basic Education Program Report
The document discusses the need to change the Philippine basic education curriculum from 10 to 12 years (K-12 program). It notes the poor performance of Filipino students in international tests, congested 10-year curriculum, and lack of recognition of Philippine graduates abroad. The K-12 program aims to address these issues by adding two more years to high school to provide a more comprehensive, decongested curriculum and better prepare graduates for work, higher education, or entrepreneurship. The K-12 program is expected to benefit both individuals and society by producing more competitive graduates and accelerating long-term economic growth.
