and the 12 means 12 succeeding years after kindergarten. This program in education will help the children for their brighter futures. The K-12 program aims to enhance the learners capabilities and produce more productive citizens in the near future. We knew that the Philippines has the shortest education cycle in the world for about 14 years only while the other countries have 16 years in their education cycle. The CHEd is currently implementing the k-12 program in order for the students competency in their work after graduation.
The first and foremost plan of the
CHEd in implementing this program is theyre going to work with DBM or Department of Budget and Management for the financing. The CHEd will work with DBM in reviewing the financing policy framework for state universities and colleges to optimize the use of government resources. We know that implementing such program will require more budget to suffice the needs of the schools, schools staffs and as well as students. The change in the education cycle will require resources that will help the government implement it in fine manner.
Next plan will be the development
of the contingency plan. The CHEd will partner with TESDA(Technical Education and Skills Development Authority), DepEd, PRC(Professional Regulation Commission) and DOLE or Department of
Labor and Employment to make a
contingency plan because this school year 2015-2016, the low number of graduates during the transition time will mean reduced human resources. The possible incoming college freshmen will undergo senior high, thats why most of them will stay on their schools that qualified for implementing senior high or they will go on selected universities and colleges.
The last will plan is upholding
educational institutions and their employees. The CHEd is ordered to ensure the rights of labor as provided in the Constitution, the Civil Service Rules and Regulations, Labor Code of the Philippines and existing collective agreements as well as the sustainability of the public educational institutions and the promotion and protection of the rights, interests and welfare of
teaching and non-teaching personnel. The
K-12 is a program that may lead us in brighter future by providing competent citizens with adequate knowledge and skills in their respective professions. It might be the answer were looking for to obtain economic development. We know that everything is hard at the start but the government is looking in more advance way to secure the development of its citizens as well as the country.
