    The K-12 curriculum program in the Philippines extends basic education from 10 to 12 years to better prepare students for tertiary education, employment, and entrepreneurship. It covers kindergarten through two years of senior high school. The program aims to improve students' skills and make them more competitive globally. While it intends to enhance the educational system, some argue it prolongs the school years, increases financial burden on parents, and that companies prefer to hire graduates in needed fields rather than general K-12 graduates.

    K-12 CURRICULUM PROGRAM

    The K to 12 Program covers Kindergarten and 12 years of basic education (six years of primary
    education, four years of Junior High School, and two years of Senior High School [SHS])  to provide
    sufficient time for mastery of concepts and skills, develop lifelong learners, and prepare graduates for
    tertiary education, middle-level skills development, employment, and entrepreneurship.

    Practical benefits of schooling under a 13-year education cycle

    1. Preparedness for tertiary learning. With adaptation of K-12 scheme, students are


    expected to graduate at age a bit older than past graduates’. This is an advantage,
    according to DepEd, as graduates will be considered young adults. Hence, they will be
    more equipped to deal with much higher level of learning as they enter college education.
    2. Readiness to join the workforce. Unlike the old system, K-12 does not compel each
    student to take college after completing Senior High School (SHS). In fact, this scheme
    empowers students to make a choice on their own. They may not pursue college
    education especially if they have chosen a track other than academic track. The good
    thing is SHS graduates will be equipped with skills (through electives) that will make
    them good at certain field(s).
    3. Skill competency in the global job market. K-12 system aims to improve Filipino
    students’ mathematical, scientific, and linguistic competence. With the new curriculum,
    DepEd promised to offer higher quality education through tracks. Each track will give
    students enough time to master a field and enhance their skills. In the end, K-12
    graduates will become globally competitive and are set to obtain spot in the stiff labor
    market.

    Perspectives on the Implementation of the K to 12 Program in the Philippines

    The government implemented the K to 12 programs to enhance the educational system of the
    country in order to accelerate the mutual recognition of Filipino graduates and professionals across the
    world. Learners were able to master the skills and develop core competencies which are the essential
    things to meet the demand of the global market.

    4th Slide
    8 Disadvantages of K12 Education

    1. A prolonged beyond the usual tedious or longer years in school (plus 2 years).
    Extending for a considerable distance than what’s necessary.
    2. Graduates take time to produce and are two years older (23 years old instead of 21
    before).
    3. Parents have struggled financially or have been heavily laden already. They experience
    strains in their monthly budgeting with the additional K12 two years: more for tuition
    fee increase, tediously burdened hearts and pockets with the additional 2 years for
    tuition fee, school allowance and good food for the brain and health of students. This
    happened on top of the desperate economic crisis induced by the COVID-19 pandemic.
    4. Additional expenses for the working parents on their kids’ K12 school books, school
    projects, school events which weigh down or encumbered parents’ finances.
    5. Adds to harming the environment with more electric usage per added classrooms.
    6. The K12 program adds harm to the environment by allocating more transports.
    7. Some students resort to early teenage matrimonial wedding from being exhausted
    beyond endurance with prolonged studies for two more years in the K12 program.
    8. After graduating in the K12 Program, companies are hiring college graduates and not the
    K12 graduates. Naturally, engineering companies would hire engineering graduates to
    successfully facilitate engineering works for them, so why hire a K12 graduates in that
    aspect? Similarly, hospitals would employ trained nurses to do delicate work and not the
    K12 students because, simply put, nursing graduates are better equipped for that certain
    line of hospital work.
