SENIOR Deputy Speaker Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo is pushing for the passage of a bill replacing the present K to 12 education program in the country covering Kindergarten and 12 years of education with a K + 10 + 2 program covering compulsory Kindergarten and 10 years of basic education with—for those seeking to proceed to professional degree studies such as accounting, engineering, law, medicine— an additional two years of post-secondary, pre-university education.
“If they want to go on to a professional education, that is when they can prepare themselves by having two years of post-secondary or pre-university education after high school to enhance their chances of succeeding in college or university and onward to professional licensure,” she said. “Anecdotal evidence indicates that they opt to continue with their education upon realizing that the private sector prefers to hire college or university graduates,” she said.
Provided that, there shall be an additional two years of post-secondary, pre-university education as preparation for professional degree studies. Secondary education refers to the third stage of compulsory basic education. It consists of four years of high school education. It added that the strategies may cover changes in physical infrastructure, manpower, organizational and structural concerns, to include the students’ pursuit of post-secondary technical or vocational certificates, and transitions for those availing of the ladderized education program.
