Wide-ranging Effect of K-12 Education Program A QUESTION OF PRIORITIES: While there is almost universal support for the programme’s aims, critics point to existing resource and quality issues and argue these should be prioritised over extending coverage. Certainly, implementation will not be easy. Facilities are simply not available, with many kindergarten classes conducted on playgrounds or in makeshift accommodation. Most teachers – around 25,868 – are volunteers compared to just 2807 trained staff...

...Salient Features of K-12 History of K-12 The K-12 education system is the public education system that most people are familiar with today. Comprised of 13 grades, kindergarten through 12th, it refers to the public school system in all of the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and parts of Europe as well. It is difficult to pinpoint the exact history of education, as it has been occurring in some form for centuries in all parts of the world. Kindergarten was actually developed prior to compulsory education. Though it is not compulsory in all states, children are required to start school in most states at the age of six. If the child is too young to start kindergarten the year he turns five, kindergarten may technically be required since he will be turning six that school year. The word kindergarten is of German origin and means “children’s garden.” The concept was the brainchild of Friedrich Froebel, a self-educated philosophical teacher, who sought to develop a place of guided play for children to “bloom.” The first kindergarten established in England was in 1852, and the United States followed by establishing its first in 1856. Though education was required of all children in Massachusetts by that time and many other states were following suit, not all schools provided, nor required, kindergarten. Similarly, not all schools required a student to stay in school beyond a certain grade, as compulsory education initially applied only to elementary aged children...

...THE PERCEPTION OF YS-10 LEARNERS IN THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE K-12 CURRICULUM A research presented to In Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for CAE, Economics and Mathematics 11 CHAPTER I PROBLEM AND ITS SETTING I. Introduction Education is a basic human right and a significant factor in the development of children, communities, and countries. (Herz, B. and Sperling G.B., 2004) It is valued by a lot of Filipinos mainly because it is the start of economic improvement and it is the key to a brighter future. The Philippines was one of only three countries in the world and the only one in Asia that still had 10 years in basic education. This has always been seen as a disadvantage for the learners who are competing in an increasingly global job market and also reason of having a high number of unemployment in the country. The government asserts that with the implementation of K12 program, the problem of unemployment in the country will be resolved. In as much as employment in the Philippines is concerned, the K12 education also responds to the fact that most countries in the world already have the same plan in their educational institutions. With this, the standards of these countries go a notch higher than what the country has, thus, creating an expansion in the global competency. (DepEd, 2010) President Aquino aforementioned that we needed to add two more years of basic education in the country. Those who can afford to pay up to fourteen...

...education in the Philippines is urgent and critical.” 2. “The poor quality of basic education is reflected in the low achievement scores of Filipino students. One reason is that students do not get adequate instructional time or time on task.” 3. International test results consistently show Filipino students lagging way behind practically everybody else in the world. In the 2008 mathematics exam, for example, we came in dead last. 4. “The congested curriculum partly explains the present state of education.” Twelve years of content are crammed into ten years. 5. “This quality of education is reflected in the inadequate preparation of high school graduates for the world of work or entrepreneurship or higher education.” If ten years were adequate, how come employers do not hire fresh high school graduates? How come most high school graduates flunk the UPCAT? 6. “Most graduates are too young to enter the labor force.” Since most children start Grade 1 when they are 6 years old, they do not reach the legal employable age of 18 when they graduate from high school today. 7. “The current system also reinforces the misperception that basic education is just a preparatory step for higher education.” Why prioritize the minority of high school graduates that go to college? 8. “The short duration of the basic education program also puts the millions of overseas Filipino workers (OFWs), especially the professionals, and those who intend to study abroad, at a disadvantage. Our graduates...

...PREFERENCE ON THE PROPOSED K+12 BASIC EDUCATION PROGRAM “If you want to plan for a year, plant a tree; for a decade educate people.” It is an old maxim that talks about the importance of education where it plays a major role in the progress and welfare of a nation. Thus, every nation has a high regard in educating its people. According to Nelson Mandela, one of an African foremost statesman said that “education is the most powerful weapon you can use to change the world.” It is supported by one of the approaches of curriculum which is known as reconstructivism where the long term purpose of education is promoted. They are trained to be professionals in the future that in the end will reform the society. Everyone has the right to education as what the Universal Deceleration on Human Rights stated. It is supported by the 1987 Philippine Constitution Section 1 of Article XIV that announces that “the state shall protect and promote the right of all citizen to quality education at all levels and shall take appropriate steps to make such education accessible to all.” This creates an avenue for the children to have quality education so that they will have a bright future and a better quality of life that most parents want to achieve and this will be beneficial and helpful to the nation itself. In the Philippine Journal (2006), Moises R. Tamandong cited different ingredients for quality education. He stated the following: 1.Curriculum which caters to the needs of the learners...

...Enhanced K+12 Basic Education Program as the Trending Issue in the Philippine Education Christelle Jane C. Alto University of the Philippines Los Baños, Laguna Abstract This research paper discussed the reasons why Enhanced K+12 Basic Education Program is seen as an inappropriate implementation in a developing country like the Philippines. The current status of the education in our country is declining. Few noticeable facts about our educational system are broad elementary education, limited secondary schools, and unstable collegiate education. We take pride in the fact that 30% of our annual budget is allocated for education, mainly elementary education. But beyond this level, the national government participation and support is diminishing sharply. The support from the national government is negligible. The main reasons why K+12 program is inappropriate to be implemented in the Philippines are the education budget shortage, poverty, and incompetent teachers. It can be concluded that the national government influences the capability of the Philippines to adapt to the implementation of K+12 program. The government must allocate more educational budget to be able to achieve quality education. Enhanced K+12 basic education system as the trending issue in the Philippine education Despite the necessity of improvement in quality education through implementing...

...Education in the Philippines is managed and regulated by theDepartment of Education or DepEd as it is commonly referred to in the country. The department controls the Philippine education system, especially the curriculum used in schools, and usage of funds used for further improvements, which includes the continual building of schools and its facilities, and the recruitment of teachers and other staff, among others. Prior to the mid-20th century, the country's education system was patterned on those of its earlier colonial powers, those of bothSpain and the United States. However, after the Philippine independence in 1946, its educational system changed radically. The former basic educational system of the Philippines was composed of 6 years of elementary education starting at the age of 6,[3] and 4 years of high school education starting at the age of 12.[4] Afterwards, one can continue his or her education by enrolling in technical or vocational schools, or in higher education institutions like universities. Although the 1987 Constitution states that elementary education is compulsory, it was never put into force. Since 2011, the country started its transition from its old 10-year basic educational system to the K-12 educational system, as mandated by DepEd.[5] This time, the new 12-year system is now compulsory, along with the adoption of new curricula for all schools (see 2010s and the K-12 program). The transition shall last until the S.Y. 2017-2018, where the first graduates...

...CHAPTER I The Problem Introduction Faced with stiffer economic competition and worried about the skills of the future work forces, the government lead by the President of the Philippines and his Department of Education Secretary are trying to connect education from preschool through post secondary so that more students are prepared for further study and work. In October 5, 2010, the recent program on Philippine Education as part of President Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III’s Educational Reform Program was the instituting of the K – 12 Education Plan. From his 10 point Educational agenda he cited: 12 – Years Basic Education Cycle I will expand the basic education cycle, from a 10 year cycle to a globally comparable 12 years, for our public school children. At present, those who can afford basic education get into the best universities and the best jobs after graduation. Universal preschooling for all public schools children will have preschool as their introduction to formal schooling by 2016, and we will make this available to all children regardless of income. The Pnoy Administration believes that adding more years to basic education in the Philippines could help solve the problems of unemployment, keep with global standards, and help Pilipino students to have more time to choose the career that best suits their skills. Psychologically speaking, the short education program affects human development of the Pilipino children. A Pilipino is legally a child before...

...SUSTAINING COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE AT DELL Michael Dell started Dell Inc. in 1984 when he was an undergraduate student at the University of Texas. Just over two decades later, Dell, with headquarters in Round Rock, Texas, in the United States is now one of the 25 largest companies in the US. It has grown to become one of the world’s great computer companies, with near leading shares in the personal computer and server businesses. In early 2007, annual sales revenues stood at US$56 billion. In fiscal 2003, a year in which most computer makers lost money due to slumping global demand for PCs, Dell saw its revenues jump by US$5 billion to US$36 billion, made US$2.8 billion in operating profit, and gained 2.3% in global market share. For half a decade Dell was the market-share leader but in 2005 it lost its market-share lead to one of its main rivals, Hewlett- Packard (HP). Approximately one-third of Dell’s sales are made outside the United States. Nearly 65% of its revenue originates in North and South America, 23% in Europe, the Middle East and Africa, and 12% in the Asia and Pacific region, a region that includes Australia, China, India, New Zealand and Japan. Dell is experiencing rapid increases in sales outside of the US. For example, in 2006 and early 2007 sales in Brazil grew by 84%, 24% in Germany, 93% in India and 33% in China. Dell’s global competitors include HP, Lenovo, Acer, Fuji-Siemens and Gateway. In Australia and New Zealand, Dell holds second position in the PC and...

...Chapter 1 The Problem and Its Background Introduction Changes are permanent thing on earth. Are the people is ready enough to accept the changes on the educational system? The current opening of classes here in the Philippines usually starts from June to March but our lawmakers want to amend the opening of classes. The existing school calendar which spans from June to March is often disrupted as destructive typhoons plague the region during the rainy season that’s why our lawmakers decided to move the opening of classes from September through May to avoid numerous class suspensions and serve to protect the students during strong typhoons. The Department of Education said that it is open to the proposal by some sectors, including lawmakers to move the opening of classes but they want to ensure the comfort of the students in school and stresses the need for a comprehensive study. While the Department of Education is open on the proposal, some did not welcome this idea. An initial survey on the matter conducted way back in 2009. On the respondents, 66 percent were against the move while 34 percent were in favor. [1] Also, another ground for rejecting the proposal is the traditions celebrated during summer and being not conducive in learning because of hot weather during March. The delay in suspension of classes is one of the reasons why our lawmakers and other sectors in the community urge to move the classes from June to September. Unexpected...
