    Generally, eighteen year olds are not fully ready to be immediately making mature life decisions. However, studies have shown that those who have attended some form of post-secondary education are more civil-minded, confident, and higher self-esteem. The reason being that college or university graduates have had at least two years of independence, where students have to responsible for their grades as well as attending classes. High school graduates do not have access to this type of environment, where young people learn from experience how to manage their time effectively, where they can afford to make some mistakes. High school graduates have to learn from their mistakes in the real world, where mistakes can be more costly. Post-secondary graduates fin that they can already carry out difficult tasks and be responsible, boosting their confidence as well as their self worth. While high school graduates can earn more money from the get-go by working right away, those who graduate from university will be more prepared to take on the world and begin a successful…

    In the 1900’s through the 1910’s and 20’s many students opted out of not only postsecondary education, but also out of high school all together. Because of the lower standards to join the workforce, the students did not need a diploma. Many jobs that today take many years of schooling could be obtained through experience and learning on the job. Fewer years of schooling and more workplace experience cancelled out and allowed would-be students to make a living despite failing to earn a diploma.…

    K-12 aims to give quality basic education to make the students readily employable but there are problems with the textbooks produced for this program. Before implementing this program, there are already DepEd books that have errors. There are words like “Unexcitement”, “lakslustre”, and “DNA alternation” which was supposed to be “DNA alteration”. DepEd said that the claimed error books were the old ones. However, there are some reports which says that the books are still in use. There are also reports that these books were used for the training of teachers. According to DepEd Assistant Secretary Jesus Matedo, the old errored books were used by the English teachers for their training. If the government wants to improve the quality of education, it should produce books immediately that are free from errors. According to Senator Ferdinand “Bongbong” R. Marcos Jr., the country should focus upgrading the materials and the training for teachers. These processes will improve the quality of education, not adding two more years in high school. The government argues that adding two more years will improve the quality of education but the adding of two more years has nothing to do with quality but quantity. Another thing that the government should focus is to strengthen or improve the education system in the country. Instead of focusing on standardized tests, the schools should focus more on application. Although testing is a good because it is a way of knowing how much you have remembered from the discussions, application is better because it is a good way of knowing how much you have learned. Learning the subject and applying it will make the students remember it on a long-term. Thus, the government should focus on improving the quality and not adding the quantity of…

    “Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.”(Mandela,2010). This quote states that education develops our world to more powerful. This is one of a reason why others want the K+12 program on the Philippines. Some are not in favor of this because they say that it is not the longer education is the solution and it is the improving of quality of education. Some say that K+12 in the Philippines is not necessary while I as a student agree for this program.There are many reasons why I agree to have a K+12 Program in our country but there are three things that I think the most significant.…

    Because our country is not ready to this program primarily the DepEd they have a trouble to handle such a big change in education curriculum. But on the other side, if handled very well by the officials and is given the right attention, sooner the Philippines will be able to produce competitive students as what they are aiming to have. we must first look for the benefits before we look at the negative sides since k-12 has a good chance for us to be globally competitive we must adopt to this changes even its hard for our country to give budget on education. More time spent in studying means more knowledge, so adding two years is a good idea. In addition, 12 years of basic education is one of the international standards for quality education. However, I think our government doesn't have the capacity to provide such kind of quality. Why? Because financial assistance is insufficient. Public schools can't provide enough reading materials. Also, it is ironic how they want teachers to utilize multimedia materials when in fact they can't provide those. Everything when we work together, no matter how and difficult impossible, definitely a good outcome. I see the future of K-12 program. We need our government as the main propagator of this k-12 curriculum , will be sensitive to everything, allocate the necessary funds for instructional materials, these buildings to construct and other necessary facilities. The teachers must be faithful to their oath, be an ideal being a good teacher to the students. Parents may be open minded and see the beauty and importance of this program for the future not only their children but as well as the future of the country. And above all, the students. They would be seriously study and do not ignore the goodwill of K-12 that is completely designed for the improvement of the quality education they…
