Arroyo wants to replace K to 12 with 'K + 10 + 2'
Senior Deputy Speaker Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo is proposing a “K+10+2” basic education program to replace the current K to 12 curriculum which, she claims, has failed to attain its goal of producing job-ready students.
Based on House Bill No. 7893, the proposed measure will still cover kindergarten and 10 years of basic education. But after graduating, students have the option to take up two additional years of post-secondary or pre-university education to prepare them for professional degree studies.
“In a country like the Philippines where the poverty incidence is 18%, there should be an option for the young to graduate from basic education soonest, after four years of high school, so that they can help their parents in their farms or micro-businesses,” Arroyo said
She noted that if students want to pursue tertiary education, they can prepare themselves through the two-year post-secondary or pre-university program after high school “to enhance their chances of succeeding in college or university and onward to professional licensure.”
“What happens if you graduate fourth year high school and then suddenly you want to proceed to college? Can you proceed to college or must you take (the last two years)? These are the things that must be clarified,” he noted.
