On World Teachers' Day, October 5, Education Secretary Bro. Armin Luistro presented the 12-year "Enhanced Kindergarten-Grade 12 (K+12)" basic education program that the government hopes to implement by school year 2012 to 2013.
DepEd Secretary Bro. Armin Luistro (second from left) said in a press briefing that the K+12 program will make high school graduates globally competitive. Candice MontenegroTo implement the program, the Department of Education (DepEd) has to work with Congress to amend the existing law, Batas Pambansa 232 or the "Education Act of 1982," which states that the basic formal education is a 10-year program.
To amend the law and peg the basic education program at 12 years, DepEd has to conduct consultations until the first quarter of next year.
"After consultation, the law can be passed by 2013, before the next elections," Luistro said, adding that political will is needed to make this program possible. Read more here.
