Forty-four percent of Filipinos are dissatisfied with the K to 12 education system in the country, a recent Pulse Asia survey showed. Some senators said the program should be reviewed. READ:
The satisfaction rate likewise dropped from 50 percent in September 2019 to 39 percent in June 2022, according to the survey.Gatchalian, who is poised to chair the Senate committee on basic education, arts, and culture in the 19th Congress, said the K-12 program has to be reviewed.
“Malinaw sa boses ng ating mga kababayan na hindi sila kuntento sa programa ng K to 12. Ito ay dahil hindi natutupad ang mga pangako nito at naging dagdag na pasanin lamang ito sa ating mga magulang at mga mag-aaral,” Gatchalian said in a statement.Gatchalian filed Senate Resolution No. 5, which seeks an inquiry on the status of the implementation of Republic Act No. 10533 or the Enhanced Basic Education Act of 2013, also known as the K to 12 Law.
Citing a 2020 discussion paper by the Philippine Institute for Development Studies, Gatchalian said that while the K-12 program promised to boost employability among senior high school graduates, only a little over 20 percent of SHS graduates enter the labor force while 70 percent continue with their education.
