Incoming high school freshmen to become Grade 7 next year

This actually is a good thing. People who don't see it as a good thing has a crab mentality. Please, having a K-12 program actually increases the literacy and allows highschool graduates to be able to have a stable job, unlike now where only there are small chances that highschool graduates can have a stable job.

And please, PNoy doesn't have anything to do with this implementation. It was preplanned before with President GMA. If you want to whine, go to DepEd, not the President.

maganda po 2ng offer ng Dep Ed, ung 2 years n additional malaki po ang chance nila n mkpagwork pagkgraduate nila, lalo n f ung 3 subjects ay pasado.

Gawin n lang kaya na after Highschool 4 years.. Magoffer n lang ang Government ng 2 years OJT sa mga gustong maging skilled worker bigyan ng OJT with allowance iasign sa mga Public Works project para at the same time matuto na at produktibo pa. hindi yang puro n lang ballpen at libro wala produksiyon puro lang gastos.

This is a farce.

Of the many things that are needed to improve the quality of education for Filipinos, this is not one of them. Adding another two years of time spent in the "drone factories" that qualify as Philippine schools is not a solution.

Rather than spending the extra money to support an additional 2 years of school for every Filipino student, why not use that money to re-train educators?

The problem is the QUALITY of the education Filipinos are receiving -- which is directly correlated to the salaries provided to the educators. The best educators leave the country to go abroad -- even to work as nurses, etc -- because the pay offered to teachers who remain here is little more than a joke. Even private schools outside of Luzon offer teachers something like 12,500PHP / month. With salaries this low, the best educators are leaving in droves -- which leaves the "rest" to teach our children.

This results in what we have now -- schools are little more than "drone factories" -- producing students who merely memorize facts and figures, in order to pass the exams in their respective fields. Students who graduate with a degree in Law should not have to attend a "Review Center" to pass the bar exam AFTER STUDYING LAW FOR FOUR YEARS. The same applies to nursing, education, and every other field.

The fact that students must attend these "Review Centers" is a gross indication that the QUALITY of education in Filipino schools is sub-standard. Spending public funds on an additional two years of the same low-standard education is an insult to the Filipino.

wow, they question the competency of Filipino Accountants? lol, baka di naman kasi napasa sa board tapos nagaaply sa ibang bansa,hehe

the k+12 system is a good idea but this time is not the right time to implement this kind of system since the facilities of most schools,especially public schools, are not enough to accommodate the additional levels. I think that the government should be able to provide the students with books, school supplies and convenient facilities before they implement this curriculum. Anyway, I respect their decision. This is just my opinion.God bless...hope they realize what they've done.

affected ba ang private school?

the government is just tolerating human export. makisabay ba sa ibang bansa. so what if we have a 10-year schooling? ain't that enough for kids to learn? bukod sa eskwelahan, sa bahay nag-aaral din mga estudyante, majority if not all. ini-inject kase sa mga estudyante mag-aral, grumaduate at maging OFW, leche..!

tama yan na dagdagan kasi sa ibang bansa hanggang grade 13, d kasi competent ung education natin sa pinas....behind tayo sa ibang bansa

kung gagawin nyo yan, bawasan nyo yung sa college level gawing 2 or 3 years lang, alisin ang mga subjects na di naman kelangan sa propesyon or kursong kinukuha kagaya ng mga minor subjects,...

kahit dagdagan mo pa ng ilang taon yan, kung hindi naman naaabsorb ng estudyante ang lahat ng pinag-aaralan, wala rin.. well, if i were them (government officials), "teacher upgrade" sana ang ipapa-implement ko.. if there were just good books, and new methods of teaching, baka sakaling tumaas pa ang literacy rate at bumaba ang out-of-school-youth.

second, pag-akyat ng estudyante ng higher level, pero yung pinag-aaralan nila is just the same as the lessons from the previous levels, NONSENSE..

The best solution actually to be added in the constitution for better education? That it is required to the children and niece and nephews to be enrolled in public schools. That way, the public schools will improve. Let them WALK THE TALK!

Additional budget to ask for.... Approved so quickly..... URGENT justification to ask for new funds.... for the department.....

Philippine Education New Mathematical Formula: Kinder x 2 + Grade School x 6 + Junior High School x 4 + Senior High School x 2 = Public Teacher x 2 + HK DH x 12

tignan nalang yung positive sides . dapat kasi maging realistic tayo na napag-iiwanan na talaga ang mga pilipino in terms of quality education. well, yung financial problems.. education lang ang mapapamana ng parents sa kanilang anak na hindi mawawala kaya dapat pagsikapan. .. kung may tiyaga may nilaga. kesa naman pinagtatawanan tayo ng ibang bansa at minamaliit. NAKAPAGTAPOS KA NGA HINDI NAMAN QUALIFIED. nonesense right? napaka pessimist kasi nating mga pilipino eh. kaya lalo tayong nababaon . who wants to become a factory worker anyway? you studied for four years in tertiary level tpos san ka? SM sales lady ? duh.

k+12 education eh kulang na kulang naman ng silid aralan...ano bayan!!!

gusto kopyahin ang ibang bansa okey yan kung libre sana !.. at dito kahit junior hs ka lang ini employed nila.... as factory worker... cleaners... waiters/waitress etc.. kahit mag K20 pa kayo maraming bata parin na hindi makapagtapos kasi wlang pangtustus yong mga magulang ... at kahit nakapagtapos man wlang trabahong mapapasukan sa atin kaya nangingibang bansa nalang nag-aalaga nang anak nang iba para may mapakain sa sariling anak ... its a shame for our country. Employment muna kaya ang i-fucos niyo para ma minimize naman yong poverty problem nang pinas.

kahit pa may grade 7 kung walang mapasukan na work after finishing studies it's useless,and sure bang ang parents ng mga mag aaral ay kayang matustusan ang pag aaral ng anak.age qualification sa work dto sa pnas ay limited unlike other country na as long as they can work tnatanggap sa work.kay daming tapos sa pg aaral na d matanggap sa work kasi ang qualification ay good personalty,height,poor,etc,,,,but ndi ang abilty ang equalify? isa pa sa mga probinsya kahit anong hirap ng isang namamahala sa school na yon na e accredit ung paaralan na yon,d mae accredit, (malabo ba ako)

Yan bang K+12 na yan any napag-araan bang mabuti? Kulang ng Classrooms, kulang ng public schools, kulang ng books,kulang ng TEACHERS, at higit sa lahat kulang ang BUDGET. NASOLUSYUNAN NA BA YAN? P-Noy, I'm calling your attention to this matter.

(sighs) How about making the economy grow? What about Giving Funds to the public schools to give them more textbooks,chairs and other materials that they need? Not because na nahuhuli tayo dapat na tayo sumunod. Take a look we are not yet ready for this..But if I have the SLIGHTEST statement to say that is like:

A person that will go to work without shoes on.....
