GUIDELINES ON THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL
PROGRAM IN EXISTING PUBLIC JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOLS AND INTEGRATED SCHOOLS, ESTABLISHMENT OF STAND-ALONE PUBLIC SENIOR HIGH SCHOOLS AND CONVERSION OF EXISTING PUBLIC ELEMENTARY AND JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOLS INTO STAND-ALONE SENIOR HIGH SCHOOLS
I. RATIONALE On May 15, 2013, President Benigno S. Aquino, Jr. signed Republic Act No. 10533, the Enhanced Basic Education Act of 2013 (“K to 12 Program”). Section 2 of the law declares that “every graduate of basic education shall be an empowered individual who has learned, through a program that is rooted on sound educational principles and geared towards excellence, the foundations for learning throughout life, the competence to engage in work and be productive, the ability to coexist in fruitful harmony with local and global communities, the capability to engage in autonomous, creative, and critical thinking, and the capacity and willingness to transform others and one’s self.” With the formal launching of this landmark reform policy, the Department of Education (DepED) was given fresh mandate to continue developing a functional and relevant basic education system that will develop graduates who are ready for work, entrepreneurship, middle level skills development, and higher education. The addition of two (2) years to the basic education cycle is one of the hallmarks of the K to 12 Program and the Senior High School (SHS) curriculum is the main policy tool that will serve as blueprint for program implementation. The successful implementation of Grades 11 and 12 or the Senior High School (SHS) of the K-12 Program signals the complete shift to the DepED’s new educational system (K to 12). Towards this end, the DepED needs to formulate standards and uniform policy guidelines on the implementation of the SHS Program in existing Junior High Schools (JHSs) or Integrated Schools (ISs), establishment of stand-alone SHSs and conversion of existing public Elementary and JHSs into stand-alone SHSs in basic education. It is expected that these policy guidelines shall ensure an efficient, streamlined, and synchronized process of establishing a nationwide SHS Program.
II. LEGAL BASES The formulation of these policy guidelines is guided, among others, by the following laws, rules and regulations: 1. Republic Act (RA) No. 10533 otherwise known as “Enhanced Basic
Education Act of 2013” and its Implementing Rules and Regulations (IRR). Section 30 (Implementation Mechanisms and Strategies) of the Implementing Rules and Regulations (IRR) of RA 10533 states that: “Pursuant to Section 12 of the Act, the DepED, CHED and TESDA shall
Guidelines on the Implementation of the Senior High School Program in Existing Public Junior High Schools and Integrated Schools, Establishment of Stand-Alone Public Senior High Schools and Conversion of
Existing Public Elementary and Junior High Schools Into Stand-Alone Senior High Schools Page 2
formulate the appropriate strategies and mechanisms needed to ensure smooth transition from the existing ten (10) years basic education cycle to the enhanced basic education program. The strategies may cover, among others, changes in physical infrastructure, human resource, organizational and structural concerns, bridging models linking secondary education competencies and the entry requirements of new tertiary curricula, and partnerships between the government and other entities.
2. RA No. 9155 otherwise known as the “Governance of Basic Education Act of 2001” particularly on the following:
a. Section 3, which stipulates that one of said Act’s purposes and objectives
is to establish schools as facilities where schoolchildren are able to learn a range of core competencies prescribed for elementary and high school education programs;
b. Section 7(A), which states that “In addition to the powers of the Secretary of DepED under existing laws, he/she shall have authority, accountability, and responsibility to formulate national educational policies and promulgate national educational standards;”
c. Section 7(B), which mandates that “the Regional Director shall have
authority, accountability and responsibility for . . . approving the establishment of public . . . elementary and high schools and learning centers;” and
d. Section 10, which states in part that “The Secretary of the Department of
Education shall ensure that resources appropriated for the field offices are adequate and that resources for school personnel, school desks and textbooks, and other instructional materials intended are allocated directly and released immediately by the Department of Budget and Management (DBM) to said offices.”
3. DepED Order No. 40, s. 2014 entitled “Revised Guidelines on the
Establishment, Merging, Conversion and Naming/Renaming of Public Schools, and Separation of Public School Annex in Basic Education.” Part X of said revised guidelines states that: “Consistent with Republic Act No. 10533, the Department shall issue a separate DepED Order enumerating the guidelines on the establishment of a ‘stand-alone’ Senior High School, or the expansion of an existing high school to offer Senior High School.
Guidelines on the Implementation of the Senior High School Program in Existing Public Junior High Schools and Integrated Schools, Establishment of Stand-Alone Public Senior High Schools and Conversion of
Existing Public Elementary and Junior High Schools Into Stand-Alone Senior High Schools Page 3
III. SCOPE AND APPLICATION
These guidelines shall apply to the following:
1. Implementation of the SHS Program in existing JHSs or ISs nationwide, under the control and supervision of the DepED;
2. Establishment of stand-alone SHSs; and
3. Conversion of existing public elementary and high schools into stand-alone SHSs.
Schools nominated for the nationwide implementation of SHS starting SY 2016-2017, due to exigencies of SHS implementation timeline, may be exempt from the Procedural Guidelines in Part IV.B herein, provided however, that said schools satisfy the criteria in Part VI.A. Provided further, that the DepED Central Office or pertinent DepED RO reserve the right to review the nomination/selection of all or any of the subject schools.
These guidelines also include systems and processes, as well as standards and criteria, for establishing or implementing the SHS Program regardless of Track and Strand offering.
IV. DEFINITION OF TERMS
For purposes of these guidelines, the terms or phrases used shall mean or be understood as follows:
1. Establishment of a Stand-alone SHS is the process of initiating,
instituting, organizing, operating, conducting and maintaining a new SHS in a barangay, municipality, city or province by administrative authority of the DepED RO.
2. Conversion of School(s) as defined under Part IV.10 of DepED Order No. 40, s. 2014, is the process of changing, altering or transferring of the status, character of the curricular offerings or the administration, maintenance, supervision and conduct of a school from its present status, character, administration or management.
3. Stand-alone SHS is a school situated in a new site separate from a JHS or IS and has its own School Head. It can be established on a buildable space inside an elementary school or on a separate school site.
4. Senior High School (SHS) is the third stage of compulsory basic education.
It consists of two (2) years (Grades 11 and 12) high school education
Guidelines on the Implementation of the Senior High School Program in Existing Public Junior High Schools and Integrated Schools, Establishment of Stand-Alone Public Senior High Schools and Conversion of
Existing Public Elementary and Junior High Schools Into Stand-Alone Senior High Schools Page 4
following the completion of four (4) years of JHS. The entrant age is typically sixteen (16) years old. It shall serve as a specialized upper (upper level or higher-level) secondary education. The SHS program consists of different tracks, strands and specializations that learners may choose from depending on their aptitude, interests, and school capacity.
5. Track refers to specific program in SHS a learner may choose based on
his/her interest and aspiration. SHS has four (4) tracks, namely: 1) Academic Track; 2) Technical-Vocational-Livehood Track; 3) Arts and Design Track; and 4) Sports Track. A track is further sub-classified into strands.
6. Strand refers to the specialized curricular offerings under a particular track. 7. Academic Track is designed for SHS learners who intend to pursue higher
education or careers along four specific strands: 1) Accountancy, Business and Management (ABM) Strand; 2) Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) Strand; 3) Humanities and Social Sciences (HUMSS) Strand; and 4) General Academic (GA) Strand.
The ABM Strand is for those who plan to take up business-related courses in higher education or engage in business, entrepreneurship, and other business-related careers. The STEM Strand is for SHS students who are inclined toward or have the aptitude for Math or Science or Engineering studies. The HUMSS Strand is for students who intend to pursue studies in the fields of Humanities and Social Sciences at the tertiary level. The GA Strand will be offered with subjects selected from the different academic strands. It is ideal for SHS students who have not yet decided on a particular specialization.
8. Arts and Design Track is designed for SHS learners who intend to pursue
careers in the world of arts. This track covers a wide range of art forms: Theater, Music, Dance, Creative Writing, Visual Arts, and Media Arts. This track has three arts field specializations SHS learners may choose from depending on their inclination and aptitude. These specializations are: apprenticeship, art exhibition/performance, or production.
9. Sports Track is designed for students who intend to pursue sports-related
careers, i.e., athlete development, fitness training, coaching and officiating.
10. Technical-Vocational-Livelihood Track is for SHS learners who intend to pursue careers specializing in vocational learning or technical-vocational livelihood. The Technical-Vocational-Livelihood (TVL) track has four strands: 1) Agri-Fishery Arts Strand; 2) Home Economics (HE) Strand; 3) Information and Communications Technology (ICT) Strand; and 4) Industrial Arts Strand. These are aligned with the Technology and Livelihood Education (TLE) Learning Area in Grades 7 to 10. Each TVL strand offers various specializations that may or may not have a National Certificate (NC)
Guidelines on the Implementation of the Senior High School Program in Existing Public Junior High Schools and Integrated Schools, Establishment of Stand-Alone Public Senior High Schools and Conversion of
Existing Public Elementary and Junior High Schools Into Stand-Alone Senior High Schools Page 5
equivalent from the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA).
11. Immersion is the prescribed eighty-hour culminating activity each SHS
student has to complete as the practical application of the skills he or she has learned from his/her chosen track/strand program, as well as a requirement for graduation. Immersion is implemented in collaboration with a business or industry-partner which provides the necessary expertise and venue for practical, on-the-job, enterprise-based training for SHS learners.
12. Catchment Area is the area within a one-, two- or three-kilometer radius
from any existing public school in rural, urban and remote areas, respectively.
13. School Classified as Urban refers to a school located in a community
which is industrialized, populated, and offers a lot of opportunities for immersion and future employment. The classification for cities and municipalities set by the Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) and National Economic Development Authority (NEDA) shall serve as reference or guide to determine whether a school may be classified as urban under these guidelines.
14. School Classified as Rural refers to a school located in a predominantly
agricultural or fishing community with a small number of industries and population and with limited opportunities for an Immersion Program and future employment. The classification of municipalities set by the DILG and NEDA shall serve as reference or guide to determine whether a school may be classified as rural under these guidelines.
15. School Classified as Remote refers to a school which is located in a
typically rural and hard-to-reach community (mountain, island, or forest) with very limited opportunities for an Immersion Program and future employment.
16. High-risk or Disaster-prone Areas refer to hazard and no-build-zones as
defined under Joint-DENR-DILG-DND-DPWH-DOST Memorandum Circular No. 2014-01. Hazard zones are the areas identified in the hazard maps as susceptible to natural hazards, such as flooding, rain-induced landslide, storm surges, earthquakes, volcanic activities, and ground subsidence. No-build-zones are the easement areas defined by the Water Code, Civil Code and the Revised Forestry Code of the Philippines.
17. School Improvement Plan is a strategic plan for improvement, guided by
the stipulations of DepED Order No. 1, s. 2003 (Rule VI of the IRR of RA 9155), which identifies the school’s priorities, how to achieve key outcomes and targets using available resources, and raise the school’s standards.

Existing Public Elementary and Junior High Schools Into Stand-Alone Senior High Schools Page 6
18. Site Development Plan is a graphic presentation that shows the implementation of all improvements that are needed for a school site, including the position of existing and proposed buildings, the arrangement of circulation elements, and the utilization of open areas, before construction of classrooms or school buildings may begin.
19. Buildable Space refers to a vacant land in an existing school campus
deemed suitable for the construction of classroom/s of 7m x 9m each in dimension as stipulated in the DepED Educational Facilities Manual.
20. Crucial Resources refers to classrooms/school buildings, teaching and non-
teaching positions, instructional materials, school desks/armchairs, equipment and other facilities necessary for the operation of school(s) in the delivery of basic education services to learners.
V. POLICY STATEMENT It is the policy of the DepED to protect and promote the right of all citizens to quality basic education and to make such education accessible to all Filipino children. The Department shall, therefore, establish and maintain schools from Kindergarten to Grade 12 such that each learner shall have the right to quality basic education and that no learner shall be deprived of or discriminated against this basic human right. The Department shall likewise formulate and implement policies to guide its Implementing Units and stakeholders towards this end. As such, every municipality shall have an SHS. As much as possible, lone public JHS or IS in a municipality shall implement SHS program or if not possible, a stand-alone SHS shall be established.
