“We need to add two years to our basic education. Those who can afford pay up to fourteen years of schooling before university. Thus their children are getting into the best Universities and the best jobs after graduation. I want at least 12 years for our public school children to give them an even chance at succeeding.”
PresidentBenigno S. AquinoIII

RATIONALE Enhancing the quality of Basic Education in the Phillipines is urgent and criticial.
The poor quality education is reflected in the low achievement of Filipino students.
This quality of education is reflected in the inadequate preparation of high school graduates for the world of work or entrepreneurship or higher education.
HISTORICAL BACKGROUND As early as 1925, studies have observed the inadequacy of the basic education curriculum. As one of the most well studied reforms, recommendations of either adding or restoring 7th grade or adding an extra year to basic education have been put forward.

a. Monroe Survey (1925): Secondary education did not prepare for life and recommended training in agriculture, commerce, and industry.
b. Prosser Survey (1930): Recommended to improve phases of vocational education such as 7th grade shopwork, provincial schools, practical arts training in the regular high schools, home economics, placement work, gardening, and agricultural education.
c. UNESCO Mission Survey (1949): recommended the restoration of Grade 7.
d. Education Act. of 1953: under Section 3, mandates that “the primary course shall be composed of four grades(Grades I to IV) and the intermediate course of three grades (GradeVtoVII).”
e. SwansonSurvey(1960): Recommended the restoration of Grade7.
f. PresidentialCommissionto SurveyPhilippine education (PCSPE) (1970): High priority be given to the implementation of an 11-year program; Recommended program consists of 6years of compulsory elementary educationand 5 years of secondary education.
g. Congressional Commission on Education (EDCOM) Report (1991): If one year is to be added in the education program, it recommends one of two alternatives: Seven years of elementary education or Five years of secondary education.
h. Presidential Commission on Educational Reforms (2000): Reform proposals include the establishment of a one-year pre-baccalaureate system that would also bring the Philippines at par with other countries.

Where are we at now?
Insufficient mastery of basic competencies due to congested curriculum. 12 years curriculum is being delivered in 10 years.
High school graduates are younger than 18 years old and lack basic competencies and maturity. They cannot legally enter into contracts and are not emotionally mature for entrepreneurship/employment.
Other countries view the 10-years education cycle as insufficient.

What is K to 12? K to 12 means Kindergarten and the 12 years of elementary and secondary education.
Kindergarten refers to 5 years old cohort that takes a standardized kinder curriculum.
Elementary education refers to primary schooling that involves six or seven years of education.
Secondary education refers to high school.

K to 12 Education Vision
Graduates of Enhanced K to 12 Basic Education Program will:
Acquire mastery of basic competencies.
Be more emotionally mature.
Be socially aware, pro-active, involve in public and civic affairs.
Be adequately prepared for the word of work or entrepreneurship or higher education.
Be legally employable with potential for better earnings.
Be globally competitive.

Every graduate ofthe Enhanced Kto 12 BasicEducation program is an empowered individual who has learned, through a program that is rooted on sound educational principles and geared towards excellence, the foundations for learning throughout life, the competence to engage in work and be productive, the ability to coexist in fruitful harmony withlocal and globalcommunities, the capability to engage in autonomous critical thinking, and the capacity to transform others and one’s self.

What will the society gain from K to 12?
Kto 12 will facilitate an accelerated economic growth.
Kto 12 will facilitate mutual recognition of Filipino graduates and professionals in other countries.
A better educated society provides a sound foundation for long-term socio-economic development.
Several studies have shown that the improvements in the quality of education will increase GDP growth by as much as 2%. Studies in the UK,India and US show that additional years of schooling also have positive overall impact on society.

What Benefits will Individuals and Families get?
An enhanced curriculum will decongest academic workload.
Graduates will possess competencies and skills relevant to the job market.
Graduates will be prepared for higher education.
Graduates will be able to earn higher wages and/or better prepared to start their own business.
Graduates could now be recognized abroad.

What Do We Do From Now?
Creation of a Tasks Force to detail the K to 12 Implementation model
Stakeholder Consultations
Curriculum Review and Enhancement
Financial Study
Teacher Training
Legislation
K to 12 IEC Campaign
