Instead of abolishing the K to 12 program, Senator Sherwin Gatchalian on Sunday said that he was open to a review of the curriculum to ensure that the program's goal of employment after graduation would be met.
In his resolution, Gatchalian explained that the implementation of the K to 12 Law must be sustained to fully attain its benefits. The pressing issues, however, should be addressed so it would not compromise the effectiveness of the program. "Sa supply side naman, ‘yung pagtuturo lalo sa TECHVOC, hindi maayos at hindi rin angkop sa industriya… mayroong mismatch.”
To address the program's issues, Gatchalian believed it was necessary to look at the entire curriculum as experts have noted that basic education was too congested. “Lumalabas sa test ng DepEd na halos 40% ay frustrated at non-readers. Halos kalahati ang hindi marunong magbasa... Importante na lahat ng batang Pilipino ay marunong magbasa dahil hindi sila makakausad sa buhay kapag hindi sila marunong magbasa,” he said.
In 2018, the OECD administered a two-hour Program for International Student Assessment exam to 600,000 15-year-old students around the world.
