k-12 program
The K-12 program of the Department of Education (DepEd) is proposal to overhaul the basic and secondary education curricula by adding two more years. the Philippines is also lagging behind its Asian counterparts in public expenditure on the basic education as a percentage of total public spending.In that statement,President Benigno Aquino III said that his administration is prioritizing the new basic education program that is proposed to start in the school year 2012-2013 for Grade 1 and first year high school students of grade seven students with the target of full implementation by SY 2018-2019. The Department of Education argues that the K-12 program will be the solution to yearly basic education woes and the deteriorating quality of education. the Department of Education says that a K-12 program will improve the chances for youth employment as it is aimed to improve technical-vocational skills through focusing on culinary arts and wielding and etc.. The K-12, it further states, will ensure that students graduating at the age of 18 will have jobs, thus making them “employable” even without a college degree.Lastly, the Department of Education justifies that the K-12 model by saying that the present short basic education program affects the human development of Filipino students.Ultimately, regardless of whichever what the youth and country direly needs is for the development and establishment of an education system that caters to the needs of the Filipino youth and the society in generally.
