The opening of classes this school nationwide year will be marked by the pilot implementation of the K to 12 Basic Education Program, with its new curriculum. This means that all students in Philippines could have 12 years of basic education instead of 10 years.
12 years of schooling will provide sufficient time for mastery of concepts and skills, develop lifelong learners, and prepare graduates for tertiary education, middle-level skills development, employment, and entrepreneurship.
The adoption of the program is in response to the need to improve the competitiveness the Philippines graduates as the ten-year basic education cycle is seen as inadequate for work and higher education.
The Philippines is the only country in Asia and is one of only three countries in the world with a ten-year basic education cycle. Djibouti and Angola are the other two.
Star of Hope school in Taytay has also implemented this new program. It has a lot of new challenges to keep up with, but in the long run it will benefit the students and give them a better start in life.
