I can definitely agree to the objectives of

this educational program. However, let’s

face it. A transition should take place
before this could be implemented. The
reason for a transition need is budget.
Budget for both the government and
parents. I understand that the sequel of
uplifting the quality of education is the
uplifting of the Filipinos’ quality of lifestyle.
But then again, where is the current
government status when it comes to the
budget for education? It’s not even
covering the basic educational needs.
School supplies, classrooms, and even
effective teachers. These basic educational
needs are not even being addressed as of
this moment. So an additional 2 years will
mean more expenses for both parents and
government.
The government should see this kind of
opportunity because this can be converted
into threat. And what’s even worst is that
this threat will greatly affect the students.
Researches may have been made but I’m
pretty sure that preparation is not yet over.
The government may address the
budget allocation for education but
maintaining an effective pool of
teachers can be a great cost as well.
Teachers are also attending seminars
and convention in order for them to
improve their teaching skills and
strategies. And again, this means
additional cost.
I understand that that public schools will be
following this program, which is the reason why I feel
anxious with the lack of preparation before its
implementation. It is not easy to face certain
resistance for any change management
developments. Yes, it will eventually breeze in but
the period of struggling in the transition should also
be considered. The major players in this experiment
are developing children that are aimed to turn out to
be effective and productive citizens. Any kind of
negative interference in the development of these
individuals can be considered fatal.
Considering the income of the parents, the highest
percentage of parents’ income goes to their families’
welfare. It includes their children’s education, food,
shelter, and other basic needs. So if unemployment is in
the rise during the transition, it would be harder for the
parents as well to go along with the flow. The worse
part of this condition is if the unemployment rate exists
until the implementation of K+12. What kind of
employment will the graduates have? If there’s
unemployment in the country, the graduates will
eventually go somewhere else to find employment for
them to be considered as effective and productive
citizens.
If K+12 aims to have graduates that
are fit for working abroad, we’re just
simply molding workers for other
countries to prosper and take
advantage of instead of the Philippines
molding its own productive citizens.
I am aware that there will still be a lot of
resisting reactions for this K+12
educational program. I just aired out mine
being a school principal and a parent but
I’m still looking forward to more benefits
for the Filipino children when it comes to
learning and becoming reliable citizens.
Thank you.
