A group of education workers expressed concern about the new curriculum for Kinder to Grade 10 noting that it will essentially weaken the sense of nationalism among learners in the primary years of schooling. ManilaBulletin
“ACT agrees that the development of foundational literacy skills should be ensured in the primary grades,” the Alliance of Concerned Teachers said.
“The proposed abolition of the Mother Tongue as a subject runs counter to this objective,” ACT Chairperson Vladimer Quetua said. He noted that the teaching of the Mother Tongue as a subject is "foundational in developing literacy skills as learners can learn to read and write the easiest with the language that they use and most understand.”
Quetua noted that giving “ample time to teaching social studies and MAPEH should not be seen as a hindrance, but as additional areas that can help develop reading, writing and arithmetic skills.”Early in his term, President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos, Jr. Marcos he wants English to be taught in the earliest grades for Filipinos to “maintain their advantage as English-speaking people.”
Meanwhile, Quetua pointed out that DepEd’s proposed revisions to the K to 12 curriculum “seem to veer education further away from addressing the learning crisis and correcting the problems” of the original K to 12 curriculum which have long “diluted the inculcation of nationalism with the abolition of the Philippine History subject in junior high school, and watering down of the contents of Araling Panlipunan and Filipino subjects.
