Naninindigan pa rin po tayo sa ipinangako nating pagbabago sa edukasyon: ang gawin itong sentral na estratehiya sa pamumuhunan sa pinakamahalaga nating yaman: ang mamamayang Pilipino. Sa K to 12, tiwala tayong mabibigyang-lakas si Juan dela Cruz upang mapauunlad-- hindi lamang ang kanyang sarili at pamilya--- kundi maging ang buong bansa. ---- Pangulong Benigno S. Aquino III
What is K-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.
First and foremost, na-shocked ako nung nagkameron ng k-12 program. why? because a lots of facilities and rules are totally changes when it comes to k-12 program. Na feeling ko mahihirapan yung mga studyante na magaral kase nga dinagdagan pa nila ng another 2 years yung pag-aaral. Parang kawawa yung mga naabutan ng k-12. hindi katulad ng dating rules na 4 years lang kailangan ng high school. 1st-2nd year we called it junior high school while the 3rd year-4th year we called it also as a senior high. when you finished the 4 years on high school you can proceed to the college life that also 4 years in college. you also select your course that you want. but now since we have a k-12 program nagiba na yung rules and facilities.
First, nagkameron ng grade 7-10 which is first year to fourth year eto yung junior high. So they add two years for the senior high school so it's called k-12 program. Grade 11 and Grade 12. the big difference of the k-12 program to the old is ang grade 11 and grade 12 pwede na silang pumili ng gusto nilang course na pwede nilang itake sa college.
So parang ang result neto ang grade 11 and grade 12 ay first year college and 2nd year college. pwede na silang pumili ng course like what I've said a while ago. they can choose (STEM, HUMSS, ICT, GAS, ABM). and also pwede na silang makakuha agad ng trabaho because of their knowledge and also their skills that they have.
For me it's bane. because a lots of senior high school or the students parang nasstress sa dame ng paper works that they need to submit immediately. they have a research paper or we called it thesis. and then they defense also. they have a lots of presentation, project and so on. that's cause ng pagkapagod, too lazy, parang tinatamad.
Pero on the other side of my brains HAHAH sempre it's boon because they enhance their time management. they challenging for their paper works that they need to pass it. of course, they learned how to act as a college students or we called it Senior high school. because they're going to be a model of the junior high and also the elementary pupils. even if they have more projects and paper works they need to work it because of their grades. So parang hanggat senior high palang sila they need to act like professional because it's a secondary education. Because they search a job or they can apply immediately a job that related to their cousre or that they choose. So k-12 program is a better way of a basic education the students that need to learned a lot.
