This Educational Program was signed by our President Benigno Aquino III. This program aims to extend the learning period of the students. The 10 years education in our country became 12 years. The +2 years is added in the secondary level (Senior High School). Within this 2 years, the students will learn Technology and Livelihood Education which can help them to find their jobs in the future. It is said that if you’re a graduate of K+12 program, you will no longer need to pursue studying in post-secondary level. This program was effective just this JUNE 2013. After the students graduated from primary level, they will become Grade 7.
Before it was signed by our President, this program encountered many issues. First, this program was new to Filipinos because we were used to 10 years period of schooling. Second, the parents had a lot of complains like financial status, mostly in the poor families which has 5-7 children. Third, the school must have additional classrooms for this program. Fourth, the government must have the budget for the school equipment like chairs, tables and books. And lastly, the government must have enough budget for the teachers because every schools needed additional teachers.
And now our curriculum is base on K+12 program. Hope it will make our country as progressive as the other country which is also using this program.
