Article No. 2 – Enhancing Curriculum in Philippine Schools in Response to Global Community
Challenges.
Points of Agreement:
Points of Disagreement:
1. The existing curriculum nowadays is described as congested. It means to say that our
learners do not get enough and appropriate time to perform tasks because the curriculum
is designed to be taught in a span of 12 years and not 10 years. The more evident result
of this is the fact that most high school students graduate without the readiness to take
upon higher education or employment. These students are not equipped with the basic
skills or competencies needed at work.
2. The K to 12 program is “flawed and problematic framework” which will worsen the
education crisis and will further subject the nation’s workers to exploitation. According
to Vencer Crisostomo, the national chairperson of Anakbayan that the additional years
in the K to 12 program will mean additional burden to parents and students who at
present are already struggling to finish the current cycle. “At present, 14 out 100 finish
the education cycle up to college. Additional years will mean additional drop-outs,” he
said. He also points out the lack of budget for education currently. “Government
spending for education, as it is, is not enough to meet the shortages at present. The
shortages will worsen and we will be faced with greater problems,” he says.
