BEC from formal basic education in all
public schools. It is to develop persons who
are patriotic (makabayan), humanity
(makatao), respectful of nature
(makakalikasan), Godly (makadiyos).
•Makabayan was drafted and proposed by
the Senator Raul Roco who also became

sector, Roco and Dep Ed decided to create
this solution to provide the highest quality
education within the available budget.

questions, whether or not answers pre-exist.
- Learners become creators of knowledge rather
than recipients.

governing process of conducting an investigation
and communicating what was learned to others.
- The process of inquiry is the organizer of the
instructional design while content is relegated to
an ancillary place.

four linked courses.
