Education chief defends simplified K to 12

Education Secretary Sonny Angara on Monday defended the Department of Education’s move to simplify the K to 12 program rather than abolish it, saying the revised curriculum is now being piloted in 900 schools nationwide.

He was responding to a teacher’s question during an information conference at Don Gerardo LL Ouano Memorial National High School in Mandaue City, where he also visited classrooms and facilities with local officials.

Angara said the new curriculum reduces the 33 subjects previously required in senior high school to just five core areas: life skills, reading, communications, mathematics, and science.

00:00Go ahead, Cynthia.
00:02Gusto na natin simplify yung K-12
00:05kasi nga nasa news yan.
00:07Yung iba gusto i-abolish.
00:08Sabi ko maganda na simplify na lang natin.
00:12And what are the real goals of the system?
00:15Aside from individual advancement,
00:17gusto natin yung mga bata talaga mag-progress sa kanyang education
00:20because natin 16 years old, graduate na,
00:22walang mahanap ng tatong kapaw.
00:24Kasi na additional 2 years, mature na sana yung individual.
00:27Makuha na yung skills na gusto niya.
00:29Aside from simplifying it, number one,
00:31kasi natin 33 subjects in 2 years,
00:33matalagang marami.
00:34Yun ang complaint ng mga magulang.
00:36So kayo, we are piloting kong mayor
00:39a new curriculum for senior high
00:42in 900 schools all over the country.
00:44And so far, maganda ang feedback.
00:46Very simple.
00:47Hindi children have more time to work.
00:49At kasi at that stage,
00:51medyo independent na yung mga bata.
00:52At least.
00:53They're independent learners.
00:56So, we did give them more choice
00:58to choose their subjects.
00:59And less.
01:01Less.
01:02More of a menu.
01:03Pero less required.
01:04Kung baka ang requirement na natin
01:06is 5 core subjects per hour learners.
01:09And kasama dyan yung life skills,
01:11yung reading, communications,
01:13also a little bit of math and science.
01:16Yun ang request kasi ng higher education institutions.
01:19Kasi yung goal rin natin,
01:21mag-simplify yung crediting
01:23from yung pathway ng isang bata.
01:26Mula sa senior high school,
01:27mabutang college,
01:28parami sa kinubuhan niya ngayon
01:29sa bagong curriculum
01:31or kupunin niya
01:32in the future
01:33ay credited na
01:34towards general education.
01:35Dahil ang finding ng EDCOM
01:37sa higher education,
01:39there are too many
01:40general education subjects.
01:41So, yung bata,
01:42paglating niya sa kolehyo,
01:44hindi niya nakaarantama yung gusto niya.
01:46Kasi almost 40 to 45 percent
01:48of the college course
01:49or ang kinubuhan required
01:51ng CHET
01:52para kundin niya
01:53ay general education.
01:54Eh, paano kung gusto niya
01:55mag-major sa data science?
01:57Pero yung minor niya
01:58is psychology.
01:59Wala.
02:00Wala isang expansion
02:01para gawin yun.
02:02And other countries,
02:03yung meron isang expansion.
02:04So, dapat,
02:05we give opportunities
02:06to our students
02:07na talagang
02:08parang nasa puso nila,
02:09at meron tayo siya natin
02:11na magaling sa parangin bakay.
02:12So, let's give them a chance
02:14and huwag natin masyadong i-impulse
02:16yung gusto nating
02:17dahil at that age nga,
02:18dapat sila yung masunod.
02:19And now,
02:20with artificial intelligence,
02:21everything is online
02:23sa kito lang.
02:24And children,
02:25you know,
02:26they can be creative
02:27and then,
02:28diba,
02:29they don't have to be
02:30all in STEM
02:31or all in accounting and business.
02:32Diba?
02:33We take both, eh.
02:34So, yun ang isang pang tinanggal natin
02:35sa seniorized group.
02:36Tataggalin na natin yung track.
02:38We're allowing children
02:39to cross and road.
02:40So, pwede sa mag-tech book,
02:41pwede rin sa mag-STEM.
02:43Pwede sa mag-tech book,
02:44pwede sa mag-Business.
02:45Pwede sa mag-Business,
02:46pwede sa mag-arts.
02:47Lahat yun
02:48nasa menu.
02:49Ang magiging challenge na
02:51for the department
02:52and for youth teachers
02:53is finding the match
02:55to teachers.
02:56Kasi siyempre,
02:57pag maraming offerings
02:59sa menu,
03:00you need also a teacher.
03:01Karo,
03:02ipiliin na talaga natin
03:03na to simplify natin
03:04para yung bata.
03:05At yung mga pamilya
03:06are also confident
03:07na magkakatrabaho sa.
03:08Bakit?
03:09Kasi,
03:10inexpand na natin yung
03:11on-the-jump training
03:12na sa mga.
03:13So,
03:14very practical.
03:15Kasi,
03:16ang comments from employers
03:17is that
03:18medyo immature pa yung bata.
03:20Wala pa siyang life skills.
03:21Yung attitude to work.
03:23Tapos,
03:24pati na rin yung
03:26yung competencies niya
03:27related to
03:28his future work.
03:29Eh,
03:30pagka ngayon,
03:3180-300 hours tayo.
03:32Kung nag-expand tayo
03:33to 640 hours,
03:35kaya makikita talaga
03:36it's mutually beneficial
03:37kasi yung employer
03:39makikita niya,
03:40ang magalitong bata.
