Rationale
Objectives:
O To develop the student’s decision-making
skills, from simple choices to critical and
life-changing decisions.
O To help the student in realizing the value of
self- awareness in the process of choosing a
SHS track through the activities that put
emphasis in the individual’s personality.
O To help the student in determining a SHS
track that he/she will pursue
 Module 2:
Examining Destinations
What is Senior High School?
O Senior High School
(SHS) refers to the last
two years of the K to 12
Program, and includes
Grades 11 and 12.

O In SHS, students will go

through a core
curriculum and subjects
under a track of their
choice.
Will SHS mean two more years
of High School?

Yes. These two additional years will equip learners

with skills that will better prepare them for the future,
whether it be:
• Employment
• Entrepreneurship
• Skills Development (Further Tech-Voc
training)
• Higher Education (College)
 Is SHS really necessary?

O YES, because the law now prescribes that SHS is

a part of compulsory basic education.
O Once SHS is fully implemented in SY 2016-17,
you will need to go through it in order to graduate
High School.
 What if I do not want to go to
SHS?

O Technically, it’s your choice. But you won’t get a

High School diploma.

O You will be called a Grade 10 completer, but you

will miss out on the benefits of a full High School
graduate.
What are the benefits of SHS?
O SHS has been developed to
lead you to one of four
career pathways or exits –
almost like doors for which
SHS is the key:
1. Employment
2. Entrepreneurship
3. Higher Education
4. Middle Skills
Development
 Employment

Learners are more prepared for work

O For technical and vocational careers, you will

already be able to apply for TESDA Certificates.
O For most choices, private company partners are
ready to take you on for immersion (work and gain
experience while studying), training and hiring.
Entrepreneurship

You will be equipped

with the skills to either
start your own
business, or continue
running your family
business.
Higher Education
O Some College and
University core subjects
have now been integrated
into SHS, which means less
repetition.
O If you do go to college, the
subjects you take on will be
more focused and more
relevant to your chosen
course.
Middle Skills Development
O This benefit applies to Technical and
Vocational careers. While at SHS, you will
already learn specialized skills.
O Continuing education at other Tech-Voc
institutions means being able to get to more
advanced subjects faster.
Will the additional two years
of High School mean
additional expenses?
O NOT NECESSARILY. SHS “completes” basic
education by making sure that the high school
graduate is equipped for work, entrepreneurship, or
higher education.
O This is a step up from the 10-year cycle where high
school graduates still need further education (and
expenses) to be ready for the world.
 Additional expenses?
O SHS will be offered free in public schools and
there will be a voucher program in place for
public junior high school completers as well as ESC
beneficiaries of private high schools should they
choose to take SHS in private institutions.
O This means that the burden of expenses for the
additional two years need not be completely
shouldered by parents.
 What is Voucher Program?

O It provides subsidies to students who wish to enroll in a

private or non-DepEd Senior High School.
O All Grade 10 completers from public schools and all
Grade 10 completers in private high schools who are
Education Service Contracting (ESC) grantees
automatically get one.
O Private high school Grade 10 completers who are not
ESC grantees can apply for one as well.
 Will I need a Voucher if I
enroll in a
public SHS?
NO, you will not need a voucher subsidy because public
high schools do not have tuition fees.
 How much will my Voucher
be worth?
O It varies depending on what type of high
school student you are and where the SHS
you plan to enroll at is located.
O Public Grade 10 Students get 100% of the
voucher value.
o Private Grade 10 Students who are ESC
grantees get 80% of the Voucher value.
 My Voucher’s worth?
O Regardless if you’re a Grade 10 completer
from a public or private Junior High School,
if you enroll in a local or state college or
university, you get 50% of the voucher value.
O Your teacher or Guidance Counselor can help
you compute your exact voucher value. The
table on the next page may also guide you.

What are the four tracks?
 Academic Track

The Academic Track is divided into four (4) strands:

1. Accountancy, Business and Management (ABM) Strand
It is for those who plan to take up business-related courses in higher
education or engage in business, entrepreneurship, and other business
related careers.
2. Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM)
Strand
For students who are inclined towards or have the aptitude for Math or
Science or Engineering studies.
 Academic Track

3. Humanities and Social Sciences (HUMSS) Strand

For students who intend to pursue these fields of study at the university
level.
4. General Academic (GA) Strand
This strand is ideal for SHS students who have not yet decided on a
particular specialization. It will offer subjects selected from the different
academic strands.
Technical Vocational Livelihood

The TechVoc Track is divided into four (4)

strands:
1) Agri-Fishery Arts
2) Home Economics (HE)
3) Information and Communications Technology (ICT)
4) Industrial Arts.
Technical Vocational Livelihood
O These are aligned with the Technology and
Livelihood Education (TLE) Learning Area
in Grades 7 to 10.
O Each TVL strand offers various
specializations that may or may not have a
National Certificate (NC) equivalent from
Technical Education and Skills
Development Authority (TESDA).
Technical Vocational Livelihood
O The time allocation per TVL specialization is aligned with
the TESDA Training Regulations- Based Courses and is in
multiples of 80 hours following the conventions for SHS
subjects.
O Therefore, each TVL specialization is designed to fit into the
80-hour blocks of time.
O TLE and TVL specializations may be taken between Grades 9
to 12. Schools may offer specializations from the four strands
as long as the prescribed number of hours for each
specialization is met.
O Curriculum Maps may then be modified according to
specializations offered by a school.

O Theater
O Music
