With the incoming administration poised to review the K to 12 program education program, Senator Win Gatchalian suggested to fine-tune the K to 3 curriculum to make it more focused on literacy and numeracy. Read:
Gatchalian, who is expected to retain chairmanship of the Senate Committee on Basic Education, Arts and Culture in the 19th Congress, said large-scale international assessments showed that the country’s learners are struggling in the critical learning areas of Math and Reading.
The senator also cited the observation of experts who flagged the K to 12 curriculum, saying it is too overcrowded and needed decongesting. To address learning loss because of the COVID-19 school closures, Gatchalian proposed learning recovery programs that are intensive on reading and numeracy.In Senate Bill No. 2355 or the Academic Recovery and Accessible Learning Program Act, filed during the recently concluded 18th Congress, Gatchalian’s proposed learning recovery program covers the most essential learning competencies under Language and Mathematics for Grades 1 to 10 and Science for Grades 3 to 10.
“Literacy and numeracy competencies will be given focus for Kindergarten learners to build on their foundational competencies.”
