K-6-4-2 System
• Enhancement of the basic education
curriculum is the central focus of K to 12.
• The enhanced curriculum will offer areas
of specialization such as science and
technology, arts, sports, journalism,
tech-voc, foreign language,
entreperneurship, and subjects for
advanced placement.

Key Features of K to 12
• Mother Tongue as a learning area and
medium of instruction
• Spiral progression in Science and Math
• MAPEH (Music, Arts, Physical Education,

New Features of the K-12 Basic

Education Curriculum
 Graduates of K to 12 Basic Education
Program are envisioned to be better
prepared for life as they are expected
to
• possess sufficient mastery of 21st
century core skills;
• be emotionally developed and
competent to live a meaningful life;
Vision
• be socially aware, pro-active and
involved in public and civic affairs;
• be adequately prepared for the world
of work or entrepreneurship or higher
education;
• be legally employable; and
• be globally competitive.
Vision
Filipino learners, in order to be
globally competitive, need to
develop 21st century core skills
(digital age literacy, inventive
thinking, effective communication,
and high productivity) and be
functionally literate.

Premises
Aside from the development of 21st
century core skills, the extended high
school program should be packaged for
the preparation of students for career
and higher education. This is because
secondary education is designed
primarily to provide the transition from
school to work and from school to
further learning.

Premises
• The curriculum shall be designed to
provide a blended career and college
preparatory program. Putting the two on
the same level and blending them will
enhance the seamless relationship
between career and higher education
and give them equal social and
economic value.

Implementation of Senior HS
• A full 12 years of basic education will be
required for entry into tertiary level
education by SY 2018-2019.

Completion of K to 12 education
shall be compulsory for those who
will go to college/university.
• An enhanced curriculum will decongest academic
workload, giving students more time to master
competencies and time for extra-curricular
activities, thus, allowing for their more holistic
development.
• Graduates will possess competencies and skills
relevant to the job market.
• Graduates will be better prepared for higher
education.

Benefits of K to 12 to Individuals and

Families
• Graduates will be able to earn higher wages
and/or better prepared to start their own
business. Studies in the Philippines have
shown that an additional year of schooling
increases earnings by 7.5%.
• Filipino graduates could be recognized
abroad.

Benefits of K to 12 to Individuals and

Families
• K to 12 will contribute to economic
growth. Several studies have shown that
the improvements in the quality of
education will increase GDP growth by as
much as 2%.
• A better educated society provides a
sound foundation for long-term socio-
economic development.
Benefits of K to 12 to Society and the
Economy
