A speech to be delivered to the General Parent Teachers Association Meeting
To our young energetic Barangay Capt. Teodulo D. Pabatao ,to our very supportive GPTA President Mr. Joseph B. Abol, to our young and generous GPTA Auditor Mrs. Corazon B. Abucay,to the President of alumni association Mrs. Nanette Tarnate, The student pupil government Kate Tricia Lagunay to our cooperative parents , devoted teachers ,ladies and gentlemen.
Our national hero ones said that “ The youth is the hope of fatherland” I want to ask you about our observation about our youth, can we expect something from them ? Do they posses values worthy for emulation to the generations to come? Who among you here have children already graduated? After graduation , do they have avenues for job? Have you hear about K+12 ? Yes thank you for that . Did you understand what K+12 is all about? I hope you will listen to be able to understand it well so that you will also be the walking advertisement of this proposed change of curriculum. K12 is enhanced curriculum 12 years na ang Basic Education Program that is Kindergaten + 12 years in elementary and secondary education. In short additional years to equip our children for the necessary skills and abilities to be employed in the market world. Sa Pilipinas lamang mayroong 10 years in basic education. Sa mga lugar katulad ng Brunie, Cambodia, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand ,Vietnam ay may 12 years Basic Education. I have a friend her daughter who is a licensed nurse did not qualify to work abroad because of her age. Psychologists and educators say that children under 18 are generally not emotionally prepared for entrepreneurship or employment .In our present system there is a mismatch in the labor and education markets. The graduates in the Philippines are not automatically recognized as professionals abroad.
The advantages of this Enhanced curriculum is that every graduate of K+12 Basic Education is ready to take his place as productive and responsible member of society. Graduates will possess competencies and skills relevant to the job market so that our graduates will be prepared for higher education, better to start their own business and they could now be recognized abroad. Ang klase sa atong edukasyon layo ra sa laing nasud. Pina agi niining K+12, kindergarten,unom ka tuig sa elementayra, upat ka tuig sa junior high school,(Grades 11 to 12) duha ka tuig sa senior high school. The two years in senior high school will allow specializations in science and technology, music and arts, agriculture and fisheries, sports, business and entrepreneurship . Sa lagtod nga pagkasulti mao kini ang K-6-4-2 Model, 6 years modawat sa diploma, 4 years junior high school modawat gihapon og diploma ug usab ang 2 years nga senior high school. A full 12 years of basic education will eventually be required for entry into tertiary level education. Parents and stakeholders maybe you are still in doubt to this program . Ang sabi sa ating pangulo “ Tao ang Boss” Anuman ang opinion at kuro-kuro ninyo ay pwede nating pag usapan. What is important that the government officials are trying their best to improve the quality of educational system of the Philippines for the betterment of all Filipinos and the generations to come. I would like to say thank you for listening mabuhay ang Pilipino , mabuhay ang Pilipinas !
