Significance and Practical Application of Microbiology in Human Health

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.
  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.

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.
