The Department of Education is considering teaching Grade 10 students about the West Philippine Sea and the ruling that invalidated China’s historical claims to the resource-rich waterway.
Earlier this week, the DepEd also proposed the early teaching of English and the removal of the separate Mother Tongue subject in the primary level.
The DepEd is calling on the public to review the revised curriculum guides for Kindergarten to Grade 10 until May 3. “The Mother Tongue-Based Multilingual Education is a salient part of the implementation of the K-12 Basic Education Program,” the DepEd’s draft general-shaping paper for the revised curriculum read.
“Knowledge in and of the first language serves as a resource for learning Filipino and English in order to learn through those languages,” it added.
