The Department of Education (DepEd) will prioritize literacy, numeracy, and 'peace competencies' in the revised K to 12 curriculum to produce job-ready, active, and responsible citizens.
delivered by Vice President and Secretary of Education Sara Z. Duterte early this week, DepEd aims to revitalize its Reading, Science and Technology, and Math programs as part of the “MATATAG: Bansang Makabata, Batang Makabansa” agenda.“We will revise the K to 12 Curriculum to make them more responsive to our aspiration as a nation, to develop lifelong learners who are imbued with 21st-century skills, discipline, and patriotism,” Duterte said.
“We will integrate ‘peace competencies’ such as social awareness, responsibility, care for the environment, value for diversity, self-esteem, positive character, resilience, and human security into the various learning areas of the K to 12 Curriculum,” Duterte said. Meanwhile, Duterte also noted that DepEd will improve English proficiency while “recognizing linguistic diversity” through the review of the Mother Tongue-based Multilingual Education Policy implementation.
