Deped plans to add 2 more years in high school
The Department of education is planning to include an additional 2 years to existing 10-year basic education. The additional years would allow students to choose from different specialization in science and technology, agriculture and fisheries, sports, business and entrepreneurship and subjects for advanced placements. The purpose of the proposal is too make education in the Philippines competitive globally
Proposal states that a student would have to go through 1 year in kindergarten, six years of elementary education, 4 years of junior high school (Grade 7 to 10) and another two years of senior high school (Grade 11 to 12). By the school year 2018-2019, all freshmen students is required to complete 12 years basic education to be allowed to enroll for their respective college. They expect to have the new the additional two years in high school by 2016 to 2017.
Education Secretary Armin Luistro said that several studies have shown that improvements in the quality education will increase GDP as much as 2 percent and the additional years of schooling would have a positive impact to society. This new proposal would be an additional burden on the common Filipino family who are has barely enough to spare on education
I am also for enhancing our educational system but I don't fully agree of adding two more years in the high school department.
ReplyDeleteI think it would be more acceptable to add at least 1 more month each school year...
