The K to 12 Program is the new
implemented program by the Dep-Ed that 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.
This new
program may help each individual to be more knowledgeable and to be more globally
competitive, because like of the other countries their education is very
standard they already had this k+12 that’s why their progress is so fast. It
helps the individual to discover hidden talents where he/ she good at, and this
skill may be practiced and used for livelihood that they will be adequately prepared
for the word of work or entrepreneurship or higher education. Though it takes a
longer time but then those times the learners are already equipped with such
rudiments that will help them to land a job with an early age, even though they
will not proceed to college, during their high school they already had a vocational
courses which may serve as their wants for the future in which they are going
to practiced.
Thus, this new
program might have lots of negative issues but still it has lots of positive
outputs. I will not talk about the negative ones but only for the positive
ones. Having this program is such a great help for me, especially a future teacher
in T.L.E (Technology Livelihood Education) why? Because schools are in need of teachers
nowadays, as what I've heard different feed-backs that even though you’re not a
board passers still you can teach but only in private schools because of only
few teachers are left. So as a 4th year graduating student I must prepare
myself for this especially as a 21st teacher. We cannot deny the
fact that in this generation students are now technologically inclined, and also
because of k+12 program we are preparing our students to be legally employable
with potential for better earnings, we must develop them to become a better
person different of what was yesterday and today.
