    1) The Philippines is implementing a new K-12 educational program that will extend the number of years students spend in school from 10 to 12 years by adding two years of kindergarten and two additional senior years of high school. 2) The goal of this change is to improve education quality so graduates will be better prepared for employment, including work abroad, and meet professional standards. 3) However, there are concerns about whether the government and parents can afford the increased costs of the longer program given the current inadequate funding of basic education needs. Proper preparation and support during the transition will be important.

    Globalization is now the challenging term in the Philippine education.

    In the Philippines,
    students normally stay in the academic world for 10 years. Thats 6 years in elementary and 4
    years in high school. However, an academic proposal has been released and is expected to be
    implemented. Students will now stay in the academic world for 12 years. 2 additional years
    covering the kindergarten stage and additional 2 senior years in high school.
    Major objective of this educational amendment is to uplift the quality of education in the
    Philippines so that the graduates will be easily employed. In addition, it is said that this
    educational program aims to meet the standard requirements for professionals who want to
    work abroad.
    I can definitely agree to the objectives of this educational program. However, lets face it. A
    transition should take place before this can be implemented. The reason for a transition need is
    budget. Budget for both the government and parents. I understand that the sequel of uplifting
    the quality of education is the uplifting of the Filipinos quality of lifestyle.
    But then again, where is the current government status when it comes to the budget for
    education? Its not even covering the basic educational needs. School supplies, classrooms,
    and even effective teachers. These basic educational needs are not even being addressed as of
    this moment. So an additional 2 years will mean more expenses for both parents and
    government.
    The government should see this kind of opportunity because this can be converted into threat.
    And whats even worst is that this threat will greatly affect the students. Research may have
    been made but Im pretty sure that preparation is not yet over.
    The government may address the budget allocation for education but maintaining an effective
    pool of teachers can be a great cost as well. Teachers are also attending seminars and
    convention in order for them to improve their teaching skills and strategies. And again, this
    means additional cost.
    I understand that that public schools will be following this program, which is the reason why I
    feel anxious with the lack of preparation before its implementation. It is not easy to face certain
    resistance for any change management developments. Yes, it will eventually breeze in but the
    period of struggling in the transition should also be considered. The major players in this
    experiment are developing children that are aimed to turn out to be effective and productive
    citizens. Any kind of negative interference in the development of these individuals can be
    considered fatal.

    Considering the income of the parents, the highest percentage of parents income goes to their
    families welfare. It includes their childrens education, food, shelter, and other basic needs. So if
    unemployment is in the rise during the transition, it would be harder for the parents as well to go
    along with the flow. The worse part of this condition is if the unemployment rate exists until the
    implementation of K+12. What kind of employment will the graduates have? If theres
    unemployment in the country, the graduates will eventually go somewhere else to find
    employment for them to be considered as effective and productive citizens.
    If K+12 aims to have graduates that are fit for working abroad, were just simply molding
    workers for other countries to prosper and take advantage of instead of the Philippines molding
    its own productive citizens.
    I am aware that there will still be a lot of resisting reactions for this K+12 educational program. I
    just aired out mine being a parent but Im still looking forward to more benefits for the Filipino
    children when it comes to learning and becoming reliable citizens.
