ISSUES WITH PRESENT BEC

Insufficient mastery of basic competencies iscommon due to a congested curriculum. The 12 yearcurriculum is being delivered in 10 years.

High school graduates are younger than 18 years oldand lack basic competencies and maturity. Theycannot legally enter into contracts and are notemotionally mature for entrepreneurship /

employment. Other countries view the 10-year education cycle as

insufficient.

ISSUES WITH PRESENT GEC

Heavier semestral load of students No room for formation subjects Increasing professional subjects The variations in laboratory requirements pose practical

problems for smaller colleges with just enough laboratories Students not seeing the relevance of GEC subjects Since only professional courses that need international

accreditation are under the Washington and BolognaAccord, some courses should have lesser subjects.

THE CHALLENGE

Enhanced 10 Lessen drop outs Decongest to improve learning RBEC

Revised Basic Education Curriculum focused on just English Pilipino Mathematics Science Makabayan

But it did not decongest the curriculum

Challenge for curriculum designers based onreal feedback

Dont just push up Reduce more time for independent work

TRANSITION SCHEME FOR K TO 12

7/28/2019 17154917141_1

16/37

PROBLEMS WITH TRANSITION SCHEME

Too late to make transition compulsory. Difficulty to find students who will volunteer to go

through Grades 11 and 12. Since this will be in

selected pilot schools, they can actually opt to goto College. Why then would they enter a shadyGrade 11?

Official curriculum is not yet finalized. It is expected

on November, but this may be too late to trainteachers.

7/28/2019 17154917141_1

17/37

PROBLEMS WITH TRANSITION SCHEME

Logistical problems for administrators. Textbooks and other materials are not yet

developed and printed for Grades 11 and 12. Increased drop-outs due to perceived irrelevance

of going to Grades 11 and 12.

7/28/2019 17154917141_1

OUR PROPOSAL

Implement K to 12 on our own. Essentially, K to 12 isan addition of 2 years in Basic Education.

We plan for the content of K to 12 on our own. We accept that performance standards are based

on the: Content of RBEC in 10 years Set of College competencies now being articulated by

CHED. Competencies required for specific work.

OUR PROPOSAL

Basically, Br. Armin Luistro, FSC hasencouraged CEAP and COCOPEA

schools to pilot K to 12 even withoutlegislation, based on global demand.

WHAT TO GAIN FROM THE K TO 12?

Facilitate an accelerated economic growth. Facilitate mutual recognition of Filipino graduates

and professionals in other countries.

A better educated society provides a soundfoundation for long-term socio-economicdevelopment.

Several studies have shown that the improvementsin the quality of education will increase GDP growthby as much as 2% . Studies in the UK, India and USshow that additional years of schooling also havepositive overall impact on society.

7/28/2019 17154917141_1

33/37

WHAT TO GAIN FROM CAREERACADEMIES?

Courses in academic subjects include materialspecifically related to the academys career theme,which makes them more interesting.

Students interest is further aroused by immediateconnections between the program and the realworld.

Adults working in the field serve as mentors forstudents, introducing them to settings in which theymight work and helping them plan their careers.

7/28/2019 17154917141_1

34/37

WHAT TO GAIN FROM CAREERACADEMIES?

Career Academy approach is essentially flexible andadaptable to local needs, capacities andcircumstances, rather than rigid and prescriptive,

demonstrating that the approach can work in a widevariety of school and community settings. Career Academies would increase the likelihood of

students graduating on time. CA will also increase

vocational course-taking for these students withoutreducing their likelihood of completing a basic coreacademic curriculum.
