Known as…
The Philippines is the
only remaining country
in Asia with 10-year
basic education
program.
What is K TO 12
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.
After going through Kindergarten, elementary,
Junior High and a specialized senior high school
program, every K-12 graduate is ready to go
into different paths-higher education, middle
level skills development or entrepreneurship.
The K-12 graduates are also expected to be
equipped with 21st century skills like
information, media and technology skills,
learning innovation skills, effective
communication skills, and life and career skills.

 Every Filipino child now has access to early childhood education through
Universal Kindergarten. At 5 years old, children start schooling and are given
the means to slowly adjust to formal education.
 Research shows that children who underwent Kindergarten have better
completion rates than those who did not. Children who complete a standards-
based Kindergarten program are better prepared, for primary education.

continuity and consistency across all levels and subjects.

 Discussions on issues such as Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR), Climate Change


Adaptation, and Information & Communication Technology (ICT) are included in
the Enhanced Curriculum.

Examples:
Activities such as poems, stories, and illustrations are

primary languages of instruction in Junior High School (JHS) and Senior High
School (SHS).

 Subjects are taught from the simplest concepts to more complicated concepts
through grade levels in spiral progression. As early as elementary, students gain
knowledge in areas such as Biology, Geometry, Earth Science, Chemistry, and
Algebra. This ensures a mastery of knowledge and skills after each level.
 For example, currently in High School, Biology is taught in 2 nd Year, Chemistry in
3rd Year, and Physics in 4th Year. In K to 12, these subjects are connected and
integrated from Grades 7 to 10. This same method is used in other Learning
Areas like Math.

Why is it NO to K to 12?
What are the ADVANTAGES of
K tominds 12?
The K-12 curriculum have many advantage to every Filipino students.
One of this is enhancing our and skills, it may helps us to
decide what will be the course that they want and this may lead
them to a successful life. Preparedness in stepping into tertiary

to deal with much higher level of mastering as they step in

What are the DISADVANTAGES of
K to 12?
Many parents disagreed with this new system of education
because they have to disburse more money for the education
of their children. Also the government does not have the
fund to pay for two more years of free education because
they need to solve first the lack of classrooms, furniture's
and equipment and free textbooks. The drop-out rate will
increase because of the two added years. It is because of
lack of money to fund their children's to send them to
school.
Why?

President Benigno Aquino III floated the idea of reforming the basic education
cycle of the country from 10 years to 12 years in his first State of the Nation Address in
2010.

Three years later, he signed into law the Enhanced Basic Education Act of 2013,
lauding the measure as one that will empower generations to contribute to the growth
As 2016 drew closer, the challenges became more apparent. Thousands of college
workers are likely to lose their jobs, and enrollment in colleges and universities is
expected to drop in the next 6 years.
Don’t just teach your children
to read. Teach them to
question what they read.
Teach them to question
everything.-George Carlin
