Chronic underachievement of students Insufficient mastery of basic competencies due to congested curriculum High school graduates (<16 year-old graduates lack basic competencies and maturity) Other countries view the 10 – year education cycle as insufficient The Philippines is the only remaining country in Asia with a 10 – year basic education program K-12 Basic Education Program Historical Background • K+12 is not NEW… • studies have been made since 1925 • need to be more competitive • lack of political will 1925 1949 1953 1960 1970 - Monroe Survey UNESCO Mission Survey Education Act Swanson Survey Presidential Commission to Survey Philippine Education (PCSPE) 1976 1990 - 1991 2000 2008 - Survey of Outcomes of Elementary Education (SOUTELE) Philippine Education For All (EFA) 2015 National Action Plan Congressional Commission on Education (EDCOM) Report Presidential Commission on Educational Reforms Presidential Task Force on Education OVERALL GOAL FUNCTIONAL LITERACY FOR ALL FILIPINOS DepEd’s VISION DepED IS GLOBALLY RECOGNIZED FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF FUNCTIONALLY LITERATE AND GODLOVING FILIPINOS WHO HELP ATTAIN THE NATIONAL GOALS OF SOCIAL JUSTICE, UNITY, FREEDOM AND PROSPERITY VISION •grounded on human development •achieved through an enhanced curriculum •with socio-economic relevance DepEd’s MISSION PROVIDE QUALITY BASIC EDUCATION THAT IS EQUITABLY ACCESSIBLE TO ALL AND LAY THE FOUNDATION FOR LIFELONG LEARNING AND SELF-ACTULIZATION NEEDED FOR EFFECTIVE CITIZENSHIP AT THE LOCAL, NATIONAL AND GLOBAL MILIEU SUB-GOALS •To give every learner an opportunity to receive quality education based on an enhanced and decongested curriculum that is internationally recognized and comparable.

RATIONALE 1. Enhancing the quality of basic 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. 3. International tests results like 2003 TIMSS (Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study) rank the Philippines 34% out of 38 countries in HS II math and 43% out of 46 countries in HS II Science; for grade 4, the Philippines ranked 23rd out 25 participating countries in both Math and Science. In 2008, even with only the science high schools participating in the Advanced mathematics category, the Philippines was ranked lowest (Table 1).

The congested curriculum partly explains the present state of education 5. This quality of education is reflected in the inadequate preparation of high school graduates for the world of work or entrepreneurship or higher education 6. Further, most graduates are too young to enter the labor force. 7. The current system also reinforces the misperception that basic education is just a preparation for higher education. 8. Our graduates are not automatically recognized as professionals abroad.

More importantly, the short basic education program affects the human development of the Filipino children. 10.

Decongest and enhance the basic education curriculum Better quality education for all K-12 Basic Education Program “We need to add two years to our basic education. Those who can afford pay up to fourteen years of schooling before university. Thus, their children are getting into the best universities and the best job after graduation. I want at least 12 years for our public school children to give them an even chance at succeeding.” President Benigno S.

Ogena, Ph.D. President Philippine Normal University The K-12 Program and the Need to Develop Philippine competitiveness 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. K-12 BasicEducationProgram Ester B. Ogena, Ph.D. President Philippine Normal University The K-12 Program and the Need to Develop Philippine competitiveness 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. 14. Tailoring co-curricular activities and community involvement program to student and community needs 15. Assessment for and of learning based on standards 16. Attitudes of teachers towards K-12 If education could be the only best option to secure the future of our youth, all of us are here to support this option. 92
