    The Kto12 Basic Education Program in the Philippines implements 12 years of basic education - 6 years of primary school, 4 years of junior high school, and 2 years of senior high school. This new structure aims to provide students sufficient time to master concepts and skills, develop lifelong learning abilities, and prepare for tertiary education, vocational training, employment or entrepreneurship. The additional 2 years of senior high school allow the Philippines to standardize its basic education system at 12 years in line with international standards. The reformed curriculum also focuses on strengthening early education, adopting a mother-tongue based approach, making learning relevant, and ensuring students gain skills for college and careers through new senior high school tracks and partnerships with industry.

    [SHS]) to provide sufcient time for mastery of concepts and

    Program implementation in public schools is being done in phases starting SY 20122013. Grade 1 entrants in SY 20122013
    are the rst batch to fully undergo the program, and current 1st year Junior High School students (or Grade 7) are the rst to
    undergo the enhanced secondary education program. To facilitate the transition from the existing
    10-year basic education to 12 years, DepEd is also implementing the
    SHS and SHS Modeling.

    FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS


    WHERE WILL THE ADDITIONAL TWO YEARS BE ADDED?
    The two years will be added after the four-year high school program. This will be called Senior
    High School.
    WHY ARE WE IMPLEMENTING 12 YEARS OF BASIC EDUCATION AND NOT 11 YEARS?
    A 12-year program is found to be the adequate period for learning under basic education. It is
    also a standard for recognition of students and/or professionals abroad (i.e., the Bologna Process
    for the European Union and the Washington Accord for the United States). Other countries like
    Singapore have 11 years of compulsory education, but have 12 to 14 years of pre-university
    education, depending on the track. The Philippines is the last country in Asia and one of only
    three countries worldwide (the other two being Angola and Djibouti) with a 10-year preuniversity cycle.
    HOW WILL K TO 12 HELP IN ENSURING EMPLOYMENT FOR OUR GRADUATES?
    The K to 12 Basic Education Curriculum will be sufcient to prepare students for work. The
    curriculum will enable students to acquire Certicates of Competency (COCs) and National
    Certications (Ncs). This will be in accordance with TESDA Training Regulations. This will allow
    graduates to have middle-level skills and will offer them better opportunities to be gainfully
    employed or become entrepreneurs.There will be a schoolindustry partnership for
    technicalvocational courses to allow students to gain work experience while studying and offer
    the opportunity to be absorbed by the companies.
    WHAT WOULD BE THE ASSURANCE THAT K TO 12 GRADUATES WILL BE EMPLOYED?
    DepEd has entered into an agreement with business organizations, local and foreign chambers of
    commerce, and industries to ensure that graduates of K to 12 will be considered for employment.
    There will be a matching of competency requirements and standards so that 12-year basic
    education graduates will have the necessary skills needed to join the workforce and to match the
    College Readiness Standards for further education and future employment. Entrepreneurship will
    also be fostered in the enhanced curriculum, ensuring graduates can venture into other
    opportunities beyond employment.

    Private schools craft their transition plans based on: (1) current/previous entry ages for Grade 1 and nal year of Kinder, (2) duration of program , and most importantly,
    (3) content of curriculum offered.
