Objective for adding two more years
To decongest and enhance the basic
education curriculum
To provide better quality education for all
The Philippines is the only remaining country
in Asia with a 10-year basic education
program
K to 12 is not new. The proposal to expand the
basic education dates back to 1925.
Studies in the Philippines have shown that an
additional year of schooling increases earnings by
7.5%.
Studies validate that improvements in the quality
of education will increase GDP growth by 2% to
2.2%.
Minus 2 years before work
To inspire a shift in attitude that completion of
high school education is more than just
preparation for college but can be sufficient for a
gainful employment or career.
Insufficient mastery of basic competencies is
common due to a congested curriculum. The 12
year curriculum is being delivered in 10 years.
High school graduates are younger than 18
years old and lack basic competencies and
maturity. They cannot legally enter into
contracts and are not emotionally mature for
entrepreneurship / employment.
Other countries view the 10-year education
cycle as insufficient.
Society’s benefits from K to 12

graduates and professionals in other
countries

development.
