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.
Education for children in the early years lays the
foundation for lifelong learning and for the total
development of a child. The early years of a human
being, from 0 to 6 years, are the most critical period
when the brain grows to at least 60-70 percent of adult
size..[Ref: K to 12 Toolkit]

Building Proficiency through Language

(Mother Tongue-Based Multilingual Education)
Students are able to learn best through their first

language, their Mother Tongue (MT). Twelve (12) MT
languages have been introduced for SY 2012-2013:
Bahasa Sug, Bikol, Cebuano, Chabacano, Hiligaynon,
Iloko, Kapampangan, Maguindanaoan, Meranao,
Pangasinense, Tagalog, and Waray. Other local
languages will be added in succeeding school years.
Aside from the Mother Tongue, English and Filipino
are taught as subjects starting Grade 1, with a focus
on oral fluency. From Grades 4 to 6, English and
Filipino are gradually introduced as languages of
instruction. Both will become primary languages of
instruction in Junior High School (JHS) and Senior
High School (SHS).
After Grade 1, every student can read in his or her
Mother Tongue. Learning in Mother Tongue also
Making the Curriculum Relevant to Learners

(Contextualization and Enhancement)
Examples, activities, songs, poems, stories, and

illustrations are based on local culture, history, and
reality. This makes the lessons relevant to the
learners and easy to understand.
Students acquire in-depth knowledge, skills, values,
and attitudes through 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.
Ensuring Integrated and Seamless Learning

(Spiral Progression)
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 2nd 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.
Gearing Up for the Future

(Senior High School)
Senior High School is two years of specialized

upper secondary education; students may choose a
specialization based on aptitude, interests, and
school capacity. The choice of career track will
define the content of the subjects a student will
take in Grades 11 and 12. SHS subjects fall under
either the Core Curriculum or specific Tracks.
CORE CURRICULUM
There are seven Learning Areas under the Core
Curriculum.
These
are
Languages,
Literature,
Communication, Mathematics, Philosophy, Natural
Sciences, and Social Sciences. Current content from
some General Education subjects are embedded in
the SHS curriculum.
TRACKS
Each student in Senior High School can choose
among three tracks: Academic; Technical-VocationalLivelihood; and Sports and Arts. The Academic track
includes three strands: Business, Accountancy,
Management (BAM); Humanities, Education, Social
Sciences
(HESS);
and
Science,
Technology,
Engineering, Mathematics (STEM).
Students undergo immersion, which may include
earn-while-you-learn opportunities, to provide them
TVET (TECHNICAL VOCATIONAL EDUCATION & TRAINING)

NATIONAL CERTIFICATE
After finishing Grade 10, a student can obtain

Certificates of Competency (COC) or a National
Certificate Level I (NC I). After finishing a TechnicalVocational-Livelihood track in Grade 12, a student
may obtain a National Certificate Level II (NC II),
provided he/she passes the competency-based
assessment of the Technical Education and Skills
Development Authority (TESDA).
NC I and NC II improves employability of graduates
in fields like Agriculture, Electronics, and Trade.
MODELING BEST PRACTICES FOR SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL
In SY 2012-2013, there are 33 public high schools,

public technical-vocational high schools, and higher
education institutions (HEIs) that have implemented
Grade 11. This is a Research and Design (R&D)
program to simulate different aspects of Senior High
School
in
preparation
for
full
nationwide
implementation in SY 2016-2017. Modeling programs
offered by these schools are based on students
interests, community needs, and their respective
capacities.
NURTURING THE HOLISTICALLY DEVELOPED FILIPINO

(COLLEGE AND LIVELIHOOD READINESS, 21ST CENTURY
SKILLS)
After going through Kindergarten, the enhanced

Elementary and Junior High curriculum, and a
specialized Senior High program, every K to 12
graduate will be ready to go into different paths
may it be further education, employment, or
entrepreneurship.
Every graduate will be equipped with:
Information, media and technology skills,
Learning and innovation skills,
Effective communication skills, and
Life and career skills.
