The Department of Education disclosed to the public its progress on the ongoing revision of the K-to-12 curriculum aimed at producing more job-ready graduates and sought feedback on the proposed changes and curriculum guides. CDNDigital READ:
The review, initiated by former Education Secretary Leonor Briones, was conducted by the department’s Bureau of Curriculum Development in collaboration with the Assessment, Curriculum and Technology Research Center and followed criticisms that the program had failed in churning out employable graduates. The most recent was the Commission on Human Rights situational report which showed that fresh graduates were having difficulty landing jobs.
“Focusing on big ideas provides transferable concepts to other topics, contexts, or inquiries, thereby preventing information overload,” it said. DepEd will also introduce a new learning area for Kindergarten to Grade 3 students called Sikap , which is the combination of social studies and culture, the arts and health.
“In the implementation of the 2022 Basic Education Curriculum, the teaching and learning process will not be limited only to the usual face-to-face modality,” it said. The agency noted the need for clear baseline data and parameters that would guide them in measuring the impact of the educational reforms.
