WHAT IS K TO 12 PROGRAM?
● The K to 12 Program 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 [SHS]) 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.

STRENGTHENING EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION
(UNIVERSAL KINDERGARTEN)
● Education for children in the early years lays the foundation for lifelong learning and for
the total development of a child. The early years of a human being, from 0 to 6 years, are
the most critical period when the brain grows to at least 60-70 percent of adult size..[Ref:
K to 12 Toolkit]
● In Kindergarten, students learn the alphabet, numbers, shapes, and colors through
games, songs, and dances, in their Mother Tongue.
MAKING THE CURRICULUM RELEVANT TO
LEARNERS (CONTEXTUALIZATION AND
ENHANCEMENT)
● Examples, activities, songs, poems, stories, and illustrations are based on
local culture, history, and reality. This makes the lessons relevant to the
learners and easy to understand.
● Students acquire in-depth knowledge, skills, values, and attitudes through

continuity and consistency across all levels and subjects.
● Discussions on issues such as Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR), Climate

Change Adaptation, and Information & Communication Technology (ICT)
are included in the enhanced curriculum.
BUILDING PROFICIENCY THROUGH
LANGUAGE (MOTHER TONGUE-BASED
MULTILINGUAL EDUCATION)
● Aside from the Mother Tongue, English and Filipino are taught as
subjects starting Grade 1, with a focus on oral fluency. From
Grades 4 to 6, English and Filipino are gradually introduced as
languages of instruction. Both will become primary languages of
instruction in Junior High School (JHS) and Senior High School
(SHS).
● After Grade 1, every student can read in his or her Mother

Tongue. Learning in Mother Tongue also serves as the foundation
for students to learn Filipino and English easily.
ENSURING INTEGRATED AND SEAMLESS
LEARNING (SPIRAL PROGRESSION)
● Subjects are taught from the simplest concepts to
more complicated concepts through grade levels in
spiral progression. As early as elementary,
students gain knowledge in areas such as Biology,
Geometry, Earth Science, Chemistry, and Algebra.
This ensures a mastery of knowledge and skills
after each level
GEARING UP FOR THE FUTURE (SENIOR
HIGH SCHOOL)
● Senior High School is two years of specialized
upper secondary education; students may choose a
specialization based on aptitude, interests, and
school capacity. The choice of career track will
define the content of the subjects a student will take
in Grades 11 and 12. SHS subjects fall under either
the Core Curriculum or specific Tracks.

In SY 2012-2013, there are 33 public high schools, public technical-vocational

high schools, and higher education institutions (HEIs) that have implemented
Grade 11. This is a Research and Design (R&D) program to simulate different
aspects of Senior High School in preparation for full nationwide implementation
in SY 2016-2017. Modeling programs offered by these schools are based on
students’ interests, community needs, and their respective capacities.
