Option A is for USC to simply adopt K12 at BED. What
program segments should it develop? Adding three tracks in
the existing campuses will certainly be complicated, complex
and restricted.
Option B is to retain the K10 BED and partner it with a freestanding Junior Polytechnic Institute for SHS students. How
will this be structured (e.g., as SVD Educational Foundation
Institute)? Where will it be located? Who will manage it? Will
it be economically viable? Will USC accept Grs. 11-12 from
schools which cannot provide for them?
Option C is to retain the K10 BED but embed the equivalent
SHS offerings within the first two years of their respective
colleges, in effect instituting semi-professional programs
(Junior College) running alongside regular tertiary degree
programs. This option has its accompanying issues (not all
degree programs admit of easy ladderization, curriculum,
faculty and facility-wise).
The Career Academy can be a separate institution, or it could be a
dedicated office for the administration and coordination of the delivery
of the Senior HS Programs (Grades 11-12) where they have equivalents
in cognate College programs (e.g., as lower levels of ladderized
programs or dislocated programs of College 1 & 2).

Pnoy Aquino’s promise for education (no. 21)
“We need to add two years to our basic education. Those
who can afford pay for up to fourteen years of schooling
before university. Thus, their children are getting into the
best universities and the best jobs after graduation. I want at
least 12 years for our public school children to give them an
even chance at succeeding.
“My education team has designed a way to go from our
current 10 years (6 elementary, 4 high school) to a K-12
system in five years starting SY 2011-12. Kindergarten (K) to
Grade 12 is what the rest of the world gives their children.
“I will expand the basic education cycle in this country from
a short 10-year cycle to a globally-comparable 12 years
before the end of the next administration (2016).”
And he told them a parable: “Look at the fig tree,
and all the trees; as soon as they come out in
leaf, you see for yourselves and know that the
summer is already near. So also, when you see
these things taking place, you know that the
kingdom of God is near. (Lk. 21: 29-31)
Truly, truly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat
falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone;
but if it dies, it bears much fruit. (Jn. 12:24)
