K to 12 in the Philippines Essay

The Department of Educations mission speaks clearly of the provision of a quality base education that should be accessible to all told and one which shall lay the foundation of a lifelong learning and self-actualization needed for citizenship at the local, national and orbiculate milieu. This mission can only be realized if indeed our educational system meets the challenge of the naked as a jaybird millennium. Currently, educators just realized that our educational system has not been updated as to meeting the global agonisticness. It must be an acceptable fact that we have produced graduates who lack the skills, who cannot be recognized globally, and who do not possess entrepreneurial skills or the basic knowledge for higher education.I personally believe that it is high time that we first-class honours degree changing the educational system of the Philippines through the implementation of the K to 12 Basic Education Program. As a secondary school teacher, I have witnessed per sonally how our young generation graduates without having themselves equipped all told the basic knowledge they must have developed in the previous curriculum implemented in the schools. According to a survey, it is only the Philippines which has not adopted the 12 years basic education curriculum in the whole of the Asia. This is the very reason why even if we have intelligent and globally competitive graduates, these graduates cannot still be recognized as professionals abroad because they lack the number of years to complete the basic education.Its implementation is actually a bold and a great challenge to curriculum developers and implementers (teachers) in our country. thither are several problems that we have to overcome. But with everyone looking at one vision, holding hand in hand towards its successful implementation, lifting up each of our spirits then the K to 12 implementation give have a successful journey.TERESA E.
