Secondary Education Development Program

The Secondary Education Development Program (SEDP) aims to develop a new high school curriculum to strengthen secondary education, which was considered the weakest link. It aims to better prepare students for work and tertiary education. The SEDP was created due to shortcomings in the 1973 revised curriculum in reflecting multi-disciplinary approaches and developing good work attitudes. The SEDP's curriculum includes 8 core subjects from 1st to 4th year like English, Filipino, Math, Science, and Values Education. It emphasizes critical thinking skills, communication competence, and teaching from a Philippine perspective.

SECONDARY EDUCATION

DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM
(SEDP)
The SEDP

- Develop a new high school curriculum to


upgrade secondary education, which has been
considered as the weakest link in the school
system.

- Aims to strengthen the student’s preparation for


work and for tertiary education.
Why the need to change the 1973
Revised Secondary Education
Program?

The multi- disciplinary and inter-


disciplinary approaches where good
features of the 1973 revised
curriculum were not reflected in the
instructional materials or in the
classroom processes.
The desire to develop among students
good work attitudes fell short of
expectations.

The conceptual approach to


problem solving in the social
sciences proved ineffective for
learning to content of social
science subject, etc.
• Aims to strengthen the student’s
preparation for work and for tertiary
education.
The 1987 Constitution in Article XIV Sec. 1,
states that “The State shall protect and promote
the right of all citizens to quality education at all
levels and shall take appropriate steps to make
such education accessible to all.”

Sec. 3 (1), (2), Sec 14, 19 and Article XV Sec. 1


which were cited in the previous chapters
expressly stated education- related constitutional
requirements serving as the primary legal base of
the 1989 SEDP
DNo. 6-A and Batas Pambansa Blg.
232otherwise known as Education Act of 1982
clearly spells the need for the kind of the
education that will continue general education
stared in the elementary grades; prepare learners
for college and prepare the learners for the field
of work.
