CurriculumCurriculum

In formal education, a curriculum is the set of courses, and their content, offered at a school or university. As an idea, curriculum stems from the Latin word for race course, referring to the course of deeds and experiences through which children grow to become mature adults.

As a future Hokage, I will share to you curriculum of DepED which was use nowadays…

Na…na..naruto, I heard there were lots of issues involving DepEd

Oh, what are those?! Who can tell me about that?

Issues on Department of Education:

•Why we should add more level in elementary and high school?

---- It is simply because teachers do not have enough time to delivery the whole program in one school year. What the DepEd curriculum writers solution is integrating each topics which leads to the present situation of our public school system.

Don’t worry nine-tailed Kyuubi, here are those issues.

•A need for SciTech Curriculum in every town of the country

 

-------A total of 57 Special Science Elementary Schools were given financial assistance by the Department of Education to support science curriculum and programs. The strengthened SSES Project has been allocated P26.5M as financial assistance to the project's existing 57 pilot schools and their respective region and division offices.(are these funds used correctly?)

I also know

Another one

•(25 October) -- High school students in public schools will soon follow a new secondary education curriculum.

----However, the implementation may still be delayed if the materials for the new curriculum are not yet out of the printing press.

Me too!

Daah! I also know that!

The DepEd ICT Curriculum is very late. The latest ICT curriculum was made

last 2004 and the basis of this curriculum is still Microsoft Operating

System, Microsoft Office, Basic hardware and software with actual or

hand on experience, basic web development with little discussion on

graphics and basic programming which until 2009 the computer teacher was unable to implement due to lack of programming training and trainors.

•The implementation of the 2002 Basic Education Curriculum was announced in DepEd Order No. 25, s. 2002, issued on June 17, 2002.

But even before that controversial memorandum was issued, the move was questioned.
