After much debate and resistance, K-12 has finally been embraced by the Philippine government as a new method for the education system. Although some sectors think this system would be costly and disadvantageous, it is in fact a necessity for the country to gain an edge on global competitiveness.
K-12 is the recognized standard for students and professionals all over the world, and is believed to be the best period for learning under basic education. Before the Philippines jumped in to the K-12 system, we were one of the three countries still implementing the 10-year system.
Now, DepEd has completed the curriculum based on the K-12 System. It is also made available on the internet for faster accessibility and dissemination for both teachers and students.
