Why develop
the educational
system?
Based on our study of human
behavior and motivation, there
are pushers or instigators that
force us to perform a certain
action.

The surveys and

researches revealed the
deficiencies of previous
curricula implemented by
the Department.

Who did the

surveys?
The Presidential Commission to Study
Philippine Education 1970(PCSPE), the
Survey of the Outcomes of Elementary
Education 1975 (SOUTELE), and the
Experimental
Elementary
Education
Program 1978 (EEEP).

The surveys revealed

that our elementary
students performed
poorly especially in the 3
Rs.

OMG!
Is that true?
Unfortunately, yes! The studies
went deeper and revealed the
deficiencies in the curricula
themselves.
One of the findings
revealed that the
elementary school
curriculum was overloaded
starting from Grade One.

Aha! So these are

the reasons why
we need reforms
in elementary
education!

But remember,
education is a lifelong
process. Education
itself learns from its
mistakes. It will
continue to make
mistake and learn to
correct itself. Thats
how it grows and
develops.

Several of the
many reasons,
yes!

PROGRAM FOR COMPREHENSIVE

ELEMENTARY EDUCATION (PROCEED)
In 1982, financed by the World Bank, a 10-year Program for
Decentralized Education Development known as PRODED was
launched under the umbrella of the Program for Comprehensive
Elementary Education (PROCEED).
It was geared towards the improvement of elementary education
with focus on upgrading the quality of education and increasing
pupil participation and survival rates. Moreover, the program also
attempted to address disparities between and within regions in the
delivery of services and allocation of resources according to the
degree of educational deprivation of each region.
The New Elementary School Curriculum (NESC) is the core of
PRODED. A subcomponent of this curriculum development project
was entitled The Preparation of Elementary Education Measures also
known as PREEM.

PROGRAM FOR COMPREHENSIVE

ELEMENTARY EDUCATION (PROCEED)
It covers fewer learning areas putting greater emphasis on intellectual skills and
basic knowledge, especially reading, writing and mathematics as well as attitude
formation among pupils.
Its content focuses on the development of a shared values and belief system which
fosters humanism and sense of nationhood among children.
It aims at mastery learning among the pupils.
It also emphasizes the development of work skills which are as important as
intellectual skills.
It develops health values in the whole curriculum, not only in the period for
character building activities and science and health.
It develops competencies and values for social living reflected in the new dimension
in Civics and Culture expanded to include History, Geography and Work Ethic for
Grade III and in-depth learning of Geography, History and Civics in Grades IV-VI.

PROGRAM FOR COMPREHENSIVE

ELEMENTARY EDUCATION (PROCEED)

It is a fact that this New Elementary School Curriculum of

1982 has to two (2) vital orientations: 1) intellectual quality
of Filipino society into the next century and 2) development
of humanism and sense of nationhood. Thus, the term
Filipinism was coined to embody these orientations.

Whereas, in the early 1990s the Congressional Commission

on Education (EDCOM) submitted its findings to the Philippine
Congress on the education system and made several policy
recommendations. Most of those policy recommendations
have been translated into educational laws but other
important recommendations remain to be acted upon.
