The Imperative for K to 12

• Decongest the curriculum to improve mastery of basic competencies

• Ensure seamlessness of primary, secondary, and post-secondary competencies

• Improve teaching through the use of enhanced pedagogies (e.g. spiral progression in Science & Math) and medium of instruction

• Expand job opportunities (by reducing jobs-skills mismatch) and provide better preparation for higher learning


The K to 12 Basic Education Curriculum will be enhanced.

K to 12 will strengthen Science and Math Education

• The use of spiral progression:

– Avoids disjunctions between stages of schooling

– Allows learners to learn topics & skills appropriate to their developmental/cognitive stages

– Strengthens retention & mastery of topics & skills as they are revisited & consolidated

• Science concepts & skills are integrated in Health, Languages, Math, and other subjects in Grades 1-2

• Focus on literacy & numeracy for K to Grade 2 provides stronger foundation to acquire more sophisticated competencies in latter grade levels


K to 12 will enhance literacy through multilingualism

• Mother tongue, Filipino, English and additional languages

education for upper year levels

• Mother tongue as starting point for literacy development

• Simultaneous development of language skills in listening &

speaking for both Filipino & English

• Competencies spiraled across grade levels, with greater

emphasis on reading comprehension of various writing, study &

thinking strategies in HS for critical thinking development

• Orthography, phonological guides, literacy program sequences,

common utterances for each language part of Teachers’ Guide

• Includes age-, context-, and culture-appropriate print &

electronic texts

2. Schools* with 6 years elementary require one more grade level

3. Private schools will be required to adhere to the (minimum)

curricular standards set by DepED

*If students begin Grade 1 at age 7; some private schools accept Grade 1 at age 6.


Two Programs for Transition Management

Senior HS System

Readiness Assessment

To (1) determine current

absorptive capacity per region

of all educational institutions (i.e.

‘supply’), (2) ascertain current

industry & employment

demand and anticipate future

opportunities (i.e. ‘demand’), (3)

and ensure the SHS system will

be instrumental in adequately

addressing both.

>>match supply with demand >>

K to 12 Modeling

To develop K to 12 model

schools per region and

specialization tracks by

introducing senior high

school in select schools,

ahead of the planned

nationwide implementation

on SY 2016-2017.

Public Private Partnerships

Process

• Consultation with higher education institutions, private sector and tech-voc schools on a viable PPP proposal

• DepED will stipulate regulatory arrangements, expected standards and price point offer for schools

Possible Schemes

• SHS Service Contracting Public financing and Private provision of Senior High School

• Lease of School Facilities Public Provision and Financing of K to 12 Senior high school program using excess facilities of HEIs
