...Schooling is compulsory for all children in the United States, but the age range for which school attendance is required varies from state to state. Most children begin elementary education with kindergarten (usually five to six years old) and finish secondary education with twelfth grade (usually eighteen years old). In some cases, pupils may be promoted beyond the next regular grade. Some states allow students to leave school between 14–17 with parental permission, before finishing high school; other states require students to stay in school until age 18. Secondary Education Lasts from grade 9 to 12, typically from the age of 14/15 to 17/18. * Upon successful completion of 12th grade students are awarded with a high school diploma. * Students that have not received a high school diploma may take the General Education Development (GED) test, which is a certification for high-school level academic skills. Junior and senior high school Middle school and Junior high school include the grade levels intermediate between elementary school and senior high school. "Middle school" usually includes sixth, seventh and eighth grade; "Junior high" typically includes seventh through ninth grade. The range defined by either is often based on demographic factors, such as an increase or decrease in the relative numbers of younger or older students, with the aim of maintaining stable school populations. At this time, students are given more independence, moving to different classrooms...

...hinders us in becoming more competitive among other countries. Starting this coming school year 2012- 2013,the current education system of the Philippines will be enhanced from the 10- years of basic education into 12- years through the program called the K-12 Education Plan of the Department of Education. The implementation of the K- 12 education plan in the Philippine Basic Education Curriculum is the key to our nation’s development. Though the government will face many problems in the long run of the implementation of the program, there really is a need to implement it because the enhancement of the quality of our education is very urgent and critical. Here are some of the good reasons not to disagree with K- 12 education plan in the Philippines according to Isagani Cruz (2010) in one of his columns in a local newspaper: Sufficient Instructional Time If K- 12 will be implemented, students will be able to get sufficient instructional time to do subject- related tasks which makes them more prepared and well- trained on that subject area. On the other hand, if we remain on the old system, Filipino students would continually get low achievement scores. For instance, international test results revealed that we often come at the tail end in the exams compared to other countries. More Skilled and Competent Labor Force Another good reason why we should support K- 12 is that the graduates of this program will be more prepared to enter the labor force. As we...

...How Marketable is BSHRM Program among H.E. Strand Senior High School? Today’s competitive world offers a wide array of challenges not only to the graduating students and degree holders, but as well as to the educational institutions that offers various programs aimed at preparing their students for the job-seeking competition. At present, the country’s many ongoing educational reforms to include the enhanced basic education curriculum through the K – 12 will surely bring a positive paradigm shift in the needed learning competencies. This would require a major turn in the curricula and in the course offerings of higher educational institutions. With the demands of the changing times and in response to educational reforms, higher educational institutions like LCC-C should review and assess its program offerings. One of the courses offered by La Consolacion College Caloocan is Bachelor of Science in Hotel and Restaurant Management (BSHRM). To measure the relevance of this program, or any program offerings of any educational institutions, we need to analyze the interests of the future high school graduates. The questions we need to ask are: • Are they interested to pursue a college degree? • What is the overall state of interest or preference given to BSHRM by incoming college students? • What is the chance for BSHRM program of LCC-C be chosen by Senior High School in college? • Will the demand for people with good working knowledge of the hospitality industry continue...

...possibilities; but it is not how the ring looks that matter but rather, the meaning behind it. Class rings signify the beginning of the end of one’s high school career and transition into college life/ adulthood. When I thought about what to put on my class ring I thought about what meant the most to me in high school. I also thought about classes and groups of interest that helped me get to where I was at that point in school. When it was my turn to create my ring I chose three main things that meant the most to me; the first being the cross in the center of my stone. Believing in God helped me make it through school. When I was transitioning from junior high to high school I felt scared because I did not know what to expect. Coming from a small school into a huge high school was very over whelming I had not been in a school with so many people; I didn’t know and I did not know how to open a locker. Mid-way into my junior year my Grandpa was diagnosed with cancer and my grades began to drop tremendously. I ended up failing chemistry and had to take it again in credit recovery. By the grace of God, I passed chemistry with a C. Unfortunately my Grandpa lost his battle with cancer and passed away two months into my senior year. It took a lot of faith and a lot of prayer just to get me though the rest of my senior year. I just thank God that with him, I pulled though it all and I graduated. The second thing I chose is a symbol for friendship. I didn’t...

...The K to 12 Program covers Kindergarten and 12 years of basic education. Six years of primary education, four years of Junior High School, and two years of Senior High School (SHS) to provide sufficient time for mastery of concepts and skills, develop lifelong learners. In 2011, the Department of Education started to implement the new K-12 educational system, which also included a new curriculum for all schools nationwide. The K-12 program has a so-called "phased implementation", which started in school year 2011-2012. According to the DepEd Sec. Armin Luistro said that there is no stopping the implementation of the K to 12 Program, particularly Senior High School (SHS) Program which will be implemented nationwide starting school year 2016-2017. The President lauded the DepEd and its partners for the continued implementation of the K to 12 Program. The Republic Act 10533 or the Enhanced Basic Education Act of 2013 also known as the “K to 12 Law” which was signed by Aquino in May 2013. The summit was attended by teachers, school heads, students, parents, local government units (LGUs), and representatives from the private sector with other stakeholders. Department of Education maintained that it is not giving President Benigno Aquino III wrong information on the government’s readiness to implement the K to 12 program, contrary to claims made by a senator. In a statement Communication Secretary Herminio Coloma Jr. said that “The K to 12 program is important for the country’s...

...Every Filipino child now has access to early childhood education through Universal Kindergarten. At 5 years old, children start schooling and are given the means to slowly adjust to formal education. Research shows that children who underwent Kindergarten have better completion rates than those who did not. Children who complete a standards-based Kindergarten program are better prepared, for primary education. Education for children in the early years lays the foundation for lifelong learning and for the total development of a child. The early years of a human being, from 0 to 6 years, are the most critical period when the brain grows to at least 60-70 percent of adult size..[Ref: K to 12 Toolkit] In Kindergarten, students learn the alphabet, numbers, shapes, and colors through games, songs, and dances, in their Mother Tongue. Making the Curriculum Relevant to Learners (Contextualization and Enhancement) Examples, activities, songs, poems, stories, and illustrations are based on local culture, history, and reality. This makes the lessons relevant to the learners and easy to understand. Students acquire in-depth knowledge, skills, values, and attitudes through continuity and consistency across all levels and subjects. Discussions on issues such as Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR), Climate Change Adaptation, and Information & Communication Technology (ICT) are included in the enhanced curriculum. Building Proficiency through Language (Mother Tongue-Based Multilingual...

...the thesis sample chapter 1, 2 , 3 CHAPTER I The Problem Introduction Tertiary education or post-secondary schooling is referred to in Education Act of 1982 as “higher education leading to a degree in a specific profession or discipline.” This is to provide a general education program that will promote national identity, cultural consciousness, moral integrity and spiritual vigor, train the nation’s manpower in the skills required for national development, to develop the profession that will provide leadership for the nation; and to advance knowledge through research work and apply new knowledge for improving the quality of human life and responding effectively to changing societal needs and conditions. (Aquino, 2003) According to Aquino (2003), a careful scrutiny of the aforementioned objectives will suffice to impress in the people’s minds the crucial importance of tertiary or college education. There are numerous reasons that college education is important. Among these reasons are gaining advantage over competition, demonstrating aptitude in a specific area and the fact that many job opening require a college degree are few of the top reasons. (http://www.degreedirectory.com). Moreover, college education many more opportunities in working life, especially for higher paid jobs and the chance to work with and be taught by some of the finest and most knowledgeable people.

...The transition from elementary school into middle school is a difficult switch for preadolescent individuals. Preadolescents are experiencing many difficult changes in their lives at this point in time, such as physical, emotional, and cognitive changes. Transitioning from elementary school into middle school can also be quite scary for young children. It is vital for preadolescents to have the necessary resources to aid in their transition. Unfortunately, many low income families do not have those vital resources, such as time and money, to name a few. ‘Follow the Lead’ (FTL) is an intervention based after school program targeting low income preadolescents to provide a safe and encouraging environment for preadolescent individuals to help...

...to economic competition and poverty in the developing world, comes a renewed focus on technical and vocational education and training (TVET) as a means to expand opportunities for marginalized youth (Tripney, et. al., 2013). Enhancing the quality of basic education in the Philippines is urgent and critical. In line with this, one of the discussions of DepEd which incurred on October 2010 is to enhance the basic education program of the country in a way that is least disruptive to the current curriculum, most affordable to government and families, and aligned with international practice through the K-12 policy. The poor quality of basic education is reflected in the low achievement scores of Filipino students. Many students who finish basic education do not possess sufficient mastery of basic competencies. One reason is that students do not get adequate instructional time or time on task. This quality of education is reflected in the inadequate preparation of high school graduates for the world of work or entrepreneurship or higher education. High school...

...The K12 Program of Education This writer adheres to the concept of increasing the cycle of education in both public and private schools by an additional three (3) years ostensibly aimed at improving the quality of education, especially in the public schools, but of course not without any qualifications. It is my honest opinion that the additional three-year period should be apportioned between the elementary and the high school levels. Before, the regular curriculum in the elementary starts from grade one and ends at grade six. However, particularly in almost all private schools students are required to undergo kindergarten or preparatory level as a prerequisite for admission to grade one. Undeniably, the extra year of preparation better equipped the pupils to handle the rigors of day-to-day schooling. In order to even out the playing fields, so to speak, the government proposed that the same scheme should also be adopted in public schools by standardizing the regular curriculum in the elementary to commence at the kindergarten or preparatory grade instead of adding a seventh grade, as being espoused by some sectors. Incidentally, affluent parents are not expected to be burdened further financially since as aforesaid private schools have long been advocating said format. On the other hand, education in public schools is chiefly subsidized by the government, thus the underprivileged parents will not be unnecessarily hampered as well. With respect to the high school...

...we ready for Grade 11, the first of the two new senior high school years that have been added to the curriculum by virtue of the Enhanced Basic Education Act of 2013? By the start of school year 2016-2017, millions of students across the country who would have otherwise graduated from four years of high school would make up the first batch to enroll in Grade 11. After Grade 12, when they graduate in March 2018, they would constitute the first batch of high school students to finish the K-to-12 program. What does this mean in practical terms? It means, for one, that by next year, public schools would have to find extra classrooms, restrooms, teachers, textbooks, etc. to accommodate the new Grade 11 population that should have gone on to freshman college studies in the earlier setup, but which would now remain for another two years in the school. The old school system replaced by K-to-12 leaned for decades on the annual turnaround of graduating students to make way for incoming batches from the lower years to use existing school facilities. This time, the first year of implementation of the added senior high school under K-to-12 gives secondary schools the problem of where to put their Grade 11 classes. The burden is even more acute in public schools, which are mandated by law to carry the extra two years, even as they are more typically deprived of the resources and facilities that private schools enjoy. Private junior high schools, while required to adhere to the minimum requirements...
