The document discusses the implementation of a new grading system for the K-12 Program in the Philippines. It provides background information on the previous grading system and issues with accuracy. The objectives are to improve the grading system by computing grades based on performance and analysis. Key aspects of the new system include using numerical grades, basing grades on three components (written work, performance tasks, quarterly assessments), and having a minimum passing grade of 60. The scope covers functionality for student grading and management of grade information in the new K-12 Program.

For todays Digital Generation, Accuracy for computing the grades
of the students are required. Discovering a computerized grading system for k-12 Program is a useful and helpful system to be used. A new grading system will be used in assessing new learners and was described to be as a standard and competencybased grading system. Grades will be based on the weighted raw score of the learners summative assessments. According to the research the Philippines Department of Education has recently issued an order last April 1, 2015 that includes the new grading system for K to 12 to be used for the upcoming SY 2015 to 2016. With the implementation of the new grading system, teachers in public and private schools will bid goodbye to KPUP (Knowledge, Performance, Understanding and Product) Grading System as the latest K to 12 grading system has fewer components Written Work, Performance Tasks, and Quarterly Assessment.

BACKGROUND
According to the research, In 2012, the grading system implemented by
DepEd became controversial with parents and students complaining about its accuracy. Instead of the traditional numerical values, the grades on the report cards of students appeared as letters as per DepEd Order No. 31 Series of 2012 or Policy Guidelines on the Implementation of Grades 1 to 12 Basic Education Curriculum (BEC) Effective School Year 20122013.However, in the recently released DepEd Order No. 8, it is indicated that numerical grades will be used to assess and rate learning outcomes of students. Luistro said that the K to 12 Basic Education Program uses a standards-and competency-based grading system which are found in the curriculum guides. All grades, he added, will be based on weighted raw scores of the learners summative assessments which will focus on three components including Written Work (WW), Performance Task (PT), and Quarterly Assessment (QA). For Grades 1 to 10, WW, PT, and QA which will be the bases for grading with the average of the Quarterly Grades (QG) produces the final grade. Effective School Year 2015-2016, DepEd will implement new grading.
3.2 PROJECT SCOPE
3.2.1 In Scope Functionality Students will expect 60 as the minimum grade needed to pass a specific learning area, which is then transmuted to 75 in the report card. The lowest mark that can appear on thereport card is 60 for Quarterly Grades and Final Grades, the Policy Guidelines on Classroom Assessment for the K to 12 Basic Education Program said. In a grading System, there is one quarterly assessment but there should be instances for students to produce Written Work and to demonstrate what they know and can do through performances tasks. There is no required number of written work and performances tasks, but there must be spread out over the quarter and used to learners skills after each unit has been taught. 3.2.2 Out of scope Functionality
