SSP – IV/Discussant

And what is it exactly we aim to achieve? It is
easy to fixate on the obvious with regard to the K to
12 Basic Education Program. Yes, together we will
make early childhood education a reality for all
Filipinos and not just for those who can afford to
pay. Yes, together we will fundamentally reform the
basic education curriculum so that our learners
have a true mastery of basic competencies and a
more deliberate path to the world of work and
entrepreneurship or are better prepared for higher
learning.

GEARING UP FOR THE FUTURE
(Senior High School)
Senior High School is two years of
specialized upper secondary education;
students may choose a career track based on
aptitude, interests and school capacity. The
choice of career track will define the content
of the subjects a student take in Grades 11
and 12. These subjects fall under the Core
Curriculum or Career Pathways.

CORE
CURRICULUM
There are six subjects under
the Core Curriculum. These are
Humanities, Languages (English
and/or
Filipino), Math, Philosophy, Science
and Social Sciences. Current
content from some General
Education subjects are embedded
in the SHS Curriculum.

CAREER
PATHWAYS
Each student in
Senior High School can
choose among different
tracks:

Students undergo On – the –
Job Training or immersion, which
may include earn – while – you
learn opportunities, to provide
them relevant exposure and
actual experience in their chosen
track.

TVET

can
obtain
Certificates
of
Competency (COC) or a National

a Technical Vocational Track in Grade
12, a student may obtain a National

he/she passes the competency based
assessment

the
Technical
Education and Skills Development
Authority (TESDA).
NC I and NC II improves
employability of graduates in fields
