Facing the k-12 Challenge

Background and Rationale The Philippine Qualifications Framework K-11 and k-12 courses GE Courses as Recommended by CHED TP TPET Proposed Engineering Curric ulum Proposed B.S.E.C.E. curriculum

Background
The only country in Asia and among the three remaining countries in the world that uses a 10-year basic education cycle. According to the South East Asian Ministers of Education Organization (SEAMEO-INNOTECH) the Philippines allots 10 years while other countries have either 11 or 12 years in their basic education cycle. The National Achievement Test (NAT) results for grade 6 in SY 2009-2010 showed only a 69.21% passing rate while the NAT results for high school is at a low 46.38%. International tests results in 2003 Trends in International Mathematics and Science study (TIMSS) show that the Philippines ranked 34th out of 38 countries in HS Math and 43rd out of 46 countries in HS II Science. The Philippines ranked the lowest in 2008 even with only the science high schools joining the Advanced Mathematics category.

K-12 Basic Education Program Rationale

the K-12 Basic Education program seeks to provide a quality 12-year basic education program that each Filipino is entitled to

the purpose is not simply to add 2 years of education but more importantly, to enhance the basic education curriculum
