Marcos also said he discussed the failure of the K to 12 curriculum to improve students' employability to Angara, who championed K to 12 as the principal author and sponsor of the Senate bill that became Republic Act 10533 or the Enhanced Basic Education Act of 2013.

to bring back the teaching of Philippine history in high school after the K to 12 curriculum moved the subject to grades 5 and 6. Since assuming office, Marcos has publicly declared twice — once in his inaugural speech and again in his first State of the Nation Address — that he was not referring to history lessons when he suggested improving the content of educational materials.
Amid calls to overhaul the K to 12 curriculum, Angara has maintained that the program is already institutionalized through a law and that DepEd will continue its review of the K to 12 program under his leadership.
