effects both positive and negative of Senior High School curriculum implementation to the students and
to identify the top three positive effects and top three negative effects of implementing the curriculums.
The quantitative design was use in this study. We use checklist questionnaire to obtain the data. This
questionnaire is composing of three parts; Part I is about the personal profile of the student, Part II is

CHAPTER I:
INTRODUCTION
The Department of education implemented the new curriculum which is the K-12 program under
the “Enhanced Basic Education Act of 2013 or the K-12 Act” where it is a standard and competency-
based. It covers Kindergarten and 12 years of basic education (six years of primary education, four years
of Junior High School and two years of Senior High School) to provide sufficient time for mastery of
concepts and skills, develop lifelong learners, and prepare graduates for tertiary education, middle-level
skills development, employment, and entrepreneurship. [1] The K-12 program is inclusive and built
around the needs of the learners and the community. The K-12 program was carefully studied and
designed based on research from the other countries and our own local successes and failures in
education.
Senior High School was introduced nationwide started with Grade 11 last year (2016) and followed by
Grade 12 this year (2017) and Ombao High School was the one implemented it. The Senior High School
is two years of specialized upper secondary education where the students may choose a specialization
based on aptitude, interest and school capacity. The choice of career track will define the content of the
subjects a student will take in Grade 11 and Grade 12. Each student in Senior High School can choose
among three tracks: Academic, Technical-Vocational (Tech-Voc), and Sports and Arts.
The Department of Education provides a list of core and applied subjects uniformly offered for Grade 11
and Grade 12 in all Senior High School. This is to make sure that all students are taking the same core
and applied subjects in every semester. This will provide easy facilitation in case students may transfer
This research study is all about the Assessment on the Senior High School students about the
implementation of Senior High School in Ombao High School, Bula Camarines Sur. It will assess here
the level of readiness and preparedness of the students on the implementation of Senior High School and
it will assess also here the different effects that the students might acquire to this program. This effects is
not only all the perceptions/problems of the students but also the good effect that students may acquire to
this new curriculum. Senior High School implementation is our topic because when the Department of
Education declared the new curriculum which is the K-12 program many students, as well as the parents
and teacher have different views and perception on it. We conduct a survey especially to the Grade 11 and
Grade 12 students because they are the one who are the first batch of this Senior High School program.
The effects of the K-12 program to the students are the main attention of this study.

implementation?

This study utilized the pre-experimental type of research in gathering the respondents employing
the quantitative approaches. Ombao Senior High School, Ombao Polpog, Bula, Camarines Sur was the
main locale of the study. This research was mainly focused on: The level of readiness and preparedness of
the students on Senior High School implementation; The different positive and negative effects of the
Senior High School new curriculum implementation to the students; and the top 3 positive and negative
effects of the implementation of senior High School to the students. This research study corners only
those different effects of the Senior High School implementation. It was conducted only to the Senior
High School students of Ombao High School. It also gathered data through survey.
The data to be obtained in this study will be a great help to the student, teacher and future
researchers of Ombao High School in the Ombao Polpog Bula, Camarines Sur.

This study is anchored on the Republic Act 10533 also known as “Enhanced K-12 Basic
Education,” The idea is derived from the concept of Washington Accord which prescribes 12 years basic
education as an entry to recognition of engineering professionals and the Bologna Accord which requires
12 years of education for university admission and practice of profession in European countries
(Department of Education (2010). Semeo-Innotech (2010) explained that the implementation of K-12
curriculum in the Philippines is supported by the 1987 Philippine Constitution which stated that, “The
State shall establish, maintain, and support a complete, adequate, and integrated system of education
relevant to the needs of the people and the society.” Such mandate gives justice to the basic rights of
every Filipino child: the right to quality education and the right to a quality life.
The K - 12 Basic Education Program is the flagship program of the Department of Education in
its desires to offer a curriculum which is attuned to the 21st century. This is in the pursuance of the reform
thrusts of the Basic Education Sector Reform Agenda, a package of policy reforms that seeks to
systematically improve critical regulatory, institutional, structural, financial, physical, cultural and
information conditions effecting basic education provision access and delivery on the ground. The
department seeks to create basic education sector that’s capable of attainting the country’s Education for
all Objectives and the Millennium Development Goals by the year 2015 and President Noynoy Aquino’s
10-point Basic Education Agenda by 2016. This policy reforms are expected to introduce critical changes
necessary to further accelerate, broaden, deepen and sustain the department’s effort in improving the
quality of basic education. (Esther & Ethel, 2012) The K-12 education system is the public education
system that most people are familiar with today. Comprised of 13 grades, kindergarten through 12th, it
refers to the public school system in all of the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and parts of
Europe as well. It is difficult to pinpoint the exact history of education, as it has been occurring in some
form for centuries in all parts of the world. The K-12 Program has been initiated by the Aquino
In a paper written by John Mark Burila (2012), he cited some concerns of the community in the
implementation of the K12 program like the readiness of the Philippine Government to undergo
transitions such as the poverty in the Philippines, availability of technology, teachers training, and even
the low salary of the workforce of the academe have been cited. According to DepEd (2010a), the K-12
program would require 103,599 more teachers. Even without the new program, there is already a shortage
of teachers due to budget constraints. Hiring more in preparation for the implementation of K-12 will be
met with even more difficulties. From the point of view of the private education institutions, an identified
concern is the loading of some teachers in the tertiary level, especially those assigned to handle general
education courses, once the two years of senior high school are already implemented. Since there will be
two years, during the transition phase, that there will be no freshmen in the tertiary level, some general
education college teachers will then have to be given teaching load in the senior high school. These
teachers who will be given assignments in the senior high school cannot just do so without the adequate
training.
From the government’s end, implementation of the program would require funds amounting to
150 billion pesos for 153,569 class-rooms, 103,599 more teachers, 95.6 million more books, and 13.2
million seats (DepEd, 2010a). Based on the General Appropriations Act of 2011, DepEd has a budget of
192,087,002.00 pesos. Consid-ering the annual budget of DepEd, implementing the K-12 program
faithfully appears to be a very daunting task. The classroom requirement alone is an enormous challenge.
As things stand now, there is already a substantive shortage in class-rooms as well as in other facilities.
Adding two more years in basic education—a government mandate—will increase the shortage even
more.
every student. But, some which has a noble purpose for every Pilipino pupil or student. From their own
point of view or perspective this is another burden on the part of the students and parents. It will add to
the financial problem of the individual family, and the advantage of implementing this program are for
the people who wants to continue studying or work abroad because the curriculum is almost parallel to
another country. This is some of the problems that this study is going to focus on and to hear the
