The Department of Education has created a national task force to review the implementation of the senior high school program for one year to identify ways to improve the job prospects of SHS graduates
Based on its own tracer study, DepEd found out that only one out of ten SHS graduates were employed while around eight out of ten went to college.
“As the nation strives for economic recovery and growth, it isbecoming increasingly important for SHS graduates to have greater access to employment, entrepreneurship, advanced education, and training,” read the memorandum signed by DepEd Undersecretary Gina Gonong.The one-year review aimed “to ensure consistency, responsiveness, andrelevance” of the SHS program to the needs of the learners and stakeholders.
Under the measure, Grades 11 and 12 will be converted into a pre-university education type of learning system mandatory only for those proceeding to college. She said the health of students is important — especially amid the heat waves brought about by El Nino weather — adding that teachers also need more time to prepare.
