When I first hear about the K-12 program, I think about that we lack of budget. I don’t want to change the system because I used to our educational program. Some teachers may teach one special subject — usually music, art, reading, foreign languages, or physical education — to a number of classes at different age levels. Rather than specializing in a particular age range, such as middle school, these teachers typically receive state certification to teach Kindergarten through 12th grade.
K to 12 is now implemented in our country, so teachers are getting ready for it. We must be equip by knowledge, not only knowledge but also strategy, principle, methods and approaches to our students.
So what is the problem here? We need more and more teachers. But we lack of teachers. There are so many teachers needed next year. But there are some organization that helps us in investing for our education. We should thank them and use their donations in education. In this article, the TFP, a non-government organization will recruit Filipino and Filipino-Americans to teach here in the Philippines.
Another problem is the facilities. So they said the solution for that is they will use the other rooms in the colleges since there will be no incoming first and second year colleges. I think it will solve a little bit of our problem. The Department of Education should enhance the quality of education, this is for the education of all Filipinos and I hope this will really work out.
To bridge the gap of implementing the K-12 program in our country is simple. We just need to cooperate to the government and the people around us. There are no problems without solution, if we help, we’ll do good. We will do good in education and for our children.
