Educational practices:
o Grade 6 NAT will be replaced by an End-of Grade 6
Assessment and will serve both as an exit
examination for Grade 6 and entrance examination
for Grade 7.
o It is outcome-based as it prepares learners for:
higher education,
middle level skills,
employment, and
entrepreneurship
o It is anchored on the principles of:
inclusive education,
learners growth and development,

teaching and learning, and


assessment.
o Previously, preschool was not compulsory, that is,
pupils could enroll in Grade 1 with or without
having gone through preschool. Under K to 12 and
with the Kindergarten Act, preschool education for
five-year-old children becomes mandatory before
entering elementary school.
o Allows for learning time to be extended to off-
school learning experiences at home or in the
community. The pupils are expected to produce an
output or perform tasks that will be credited to
them.
o The K to 12 curriculum follows the spiral approach
wherein learning is a process of building upon
previously learned knowledge. Through this,
students are able to master the desired
competencies by revisiting the subject several
times and relating new knowledge or skills with the
previous one.

Other Features:
o There will be the same six years of elementary
education, but students entering secondary level
will begin their junior high school as Grade 7.
Junior High School is for four years (Grades 7 to 10)
and Senior High School (SHS) is for two years
(Grades 11 to 12).
o The additional two years of SHS would mean that
the high school graduates are better prepared for
whatever path they will choose, and they are of
legal age (18 years old) to be lawfully employed.
o

o The target of DepEd is to put in place the necessary


infrastructure and other necessary arrangements
needed to provide Senior High School (SHS)
education by SY 2016-2017.
o In the K to 12 Education Program, the spiral
progression approach will be used in teaching
Science, Mathematics, Araling Panlipunan, MAPEH
and Edukasyon sa Pagpapakatao.
o There are changes in the nomenclature of some
subjects.
Edukasyong Pagpapahalaga for the
secondary and Edukasyong Pagkakatao for
the elementary are now renamed
Edukasyon sa Pagpapakatao.
Science and Health is now called Science.
Health is included in the MAPEH.
o Moreover, subjects that are integrated under
MAKABAYAN (Araling Panlipunan, Values
Education, MAPEH and TLE) are now separate
subjects.
o Co-curricular programs and community
involvement programs are an extension of the core
subject areas and the teaching and learning
process.
They are an integral part of the school
curriculum that enhances the holistic
development of the learner.
The co-curricular programs in a large sense
also serve as a laboratory of life where
what is learned in the classroom context
can be applied in practical terms yet can be
used as a further teaching opportunity.
