1520 Words7 Pages

The big shift from an old curriculum to a new one offered a tremendous impact both on the teachers, the learners and the teaching-learning process. It is the fifth year of the Enhanced K-12 curriculum that added two years to the basic education program. The Philippine government said it is high time that the country must add two years to the basic education curriculum, since in the Southeast Asia, the Philippines is the only one offering a 10-year pre-university education (Deped Discussion Paper, 2010). Added to this, the 10-year basic education program is said to be insufficient and produced graduates that are not globally competitive. The Department of Education discussion paper dated October 5, 2010, cited a lot of reasons why there is a need and an urgent …show more content…

Our graduates also are not prepared for the life-long learning outside the school. The old curriculum as well had been proven to lack the required competence needed by the students. It can be inferred by the low performance rating in the National Achievement Test and some international studies, like the TIMSS (Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study) in 2003. Former President Benigno S. Aquino III is very proud to introduce the Enhanced K-12 curriculum that will be an agent of change in the future of the Filipino learner.

He is referring to the public school students to have an equal chance of succeeding like the ones who can afford 10 or more years of pre-university education (DepEd Discussion Paper, 2010). The Enhanced K-12 curriculum promises a very ideal future for Filipino students. It aims to develop the critical thinking skills of the learner for him/her to apply it on daily-life basis. As mentioned by the Department of Education, a holistic learner that can face the globally challenging society must be the major product of the new

    This is a key part in schools today because it’s enforcing a higher bar of achievement for teachers and students (Catapano, 2018). Implementing standards into a school system that are internationally benchmarked means all states and countries have a way of measuring their academic performance.

    Public school is one of the primary sources of education for many children in the United States, therefore it should be the school 's sole purpose to teach them the essential elements they need to succeed in life. This means more than teaching math, science, history, and English. A school, primarily high school, must provide courses that focus on a student 's future career plans, courses that challenge a student academically, and courses that help a student navigate their life as adults. Without classes that help students expand and delve into their future career choices, they can limit their views of success. An excellent example of this can be found in Jonathan Kozol 's Still Separate, Still Unequal, particularly in his interviews with the students of Fremont High School in Los Angeles.
