 Opening Reflection
• “I am convinced that every effort must be
made in childhood to teach the young to use
their own minds. For one thing is sure: If they
don't make up their minds, someone will do it
for them.”

-Eleanor Roosevelt (You Learn by Living: Eleven Keys

for a More Fulfilling Life)

Senior High School Curriculum Exits:
• Employment

• Middle Level Skills

Development

• Entrepreneurship

• Higher Education
 1. EMPLOYMENT
The Senior High School (SHS) program opens up
employment opportunities for graduates. SHS
graduates of the Technical-Vocational-Livelihood
(TVL) track may apply for TESDA Certificates of
Competency (COCs) and National Certificates (NCs).
Partnerships with different companies for technical
and vocational courses expose students to the real
world of work. Students also gain work experience
while studying, and companies can even hire them
after they graduate.
2. MIDDLE LEVEL SKILLS DEVELOPMENT
Standard requirements built into the TVL
track ensure that graduates have good job
knowledge in their chosen specializations. In
the same way that SHS graduates are better
prepared for college, they are also equipped
for developing more specialized skills in
technical-vocational schools.
 3. ENTREPRENEURSHIP
With the inclusion of an
entrepreneurship subject in the
curriculum, SHS graduates are better
equipped for small-scale business
activities, such as running the family
business or starting one’s own
business.
 4. HIGHER EDUCATION
By the time you graduate from SHS, you
will have the standard knowledge, skills, and
competencies needed for higher education.
Also, some subjects in the College General
Education curriculum have now been
integrated into the SHS curriculum. These
subjects will be taken out of the college
curriculum, leaving only the subjects that are
more focused and relevant to your chosen
course or major.
