The Revised Basic Education Curriculum (RBEC) of 2002 aimed to provide students with knowledge, skills, attitudes, and values needed for personal development and contributing to a changing society. It was based on a 16-year study that began in 1986 and recommendations from the Philippine Commission on Educational Reforms. Key features included greater emphasis on reading skills, interactive learning, integrating subjects, and teaching values across all areas. The curriculum structure focused on core subjects like Filipino, English, math, and science, as well as experiential areas like citizenship education. Its desired outcome was to develop patriotic, environmentally sensitive, and God-fearing students.

Sec. of Education Raul Roco, the 2002
BEC was based on a 16year study (starting
in 1986). Implementation of RBEC was
based on Executive Order No. 46, which in
turn was based on recommendations of the
Philippine Commission on Educational
Reforms (PCER), created on Dec. 7, 1998.
• “The restructuring of the curriculum is part of an
ongoing effort to improve the quality of learning.
We are focusing on the basics of improving litera
cy and numeracy while inculcating values across
learning areas to make it dynamic.” (Raul Roco)
