HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS IN K TO 12 CURRICULUM PROGRAM


Chapter 1

INTRODUCTION

Background of the Study

K-12 curriculum was implemented last 2012 by the Department

of Education, under the administration of President Benigno

Simeon Aquino III. This entails the institutionalization of

Kindergarten and the addition of two more years of high school in

the basic education cycle, which are Grade 11 and Grade 12,

consisting of three tracks, Academic (GAS, HUMSS, STEM, ABM),

Technical-Vocational (HE, IA, ICT), and Sports and Design.

The K-12 basic education program is the flagship program of

the Department of Education in its desire to offer a curriculum

which is attuned to 21st century. The department seeks to create

a basic education sector that is capable of attaining the

country’s education for all objectives and millennium development

goals (Hawsnetph, 2016). According to President Aquino (2012),

Philippines need to add two years on the basic education where

the students will have to undergo a new system of basic

education. Enable to prepare the students to be globally

competitive. This system aims to fully enhance and develop the

students in order for them to be well-prepared to join the work


force right after high school and suitably prepared for a higher

level of education (Theasianph, 2015).

The K-12 curriculum was designed to provide a holistic

education for all. Therefore Senior High school of The Light

Christian Academy considers the K-12 satisfying because it mold

their knowledge and skills for the career path they will take for

of every Filipino student, to uplift the quality of education in

the Philippines in order to meet the standards required for

professionals who would want to work abroad.

plan is said to be the answer to add one more year on both
