Chapter I
Introduction
Kindergarten will start in school year 2011 – 2012. The new and enhanced
curriculum in Grade 1 and first year high school will start in school year 2012 – 2013.
The first year senior high school or the eleventh year will begin in school year 2016 –
2017. The first graduates of the 13 - year curriculum will be in 2018. (DepEd, n.d).
Enhancing the quality of basic education in the Philippines is urgent and critical.
The poor quality of basic education is reflected in the low achievement scores of Filipino
students. One reason is that students do not get adequate instructional time or task.
Our children deserve to receive the best education our country can provide for
them
19
and our economy depends on an educated and skilled workforce to be successful in the
global market.
It was almost a year ago that advocacy on the change of educational curriculum
of the Philippine Educational System was started and that orientation and information
disseminations had been conducted to several venues that cater different stakeholders
coming from different sectors in the community. It is along with this activity that made
everyone if not everybody come to the point of awareness on what is going on with our
educational system .With this new transformation it came to the minds of the masses
why this should be done? Is it a must to change our curriculum? Will it pose a great
difference between the old to the upcoming innovation? Nevertheless, it is now high
time that this long planned implementation of this new curriculum be flourished on the
field of education such that queries be addressed with this much awaited K to 12 Basic
Education Curriculum program; a collaborative efforts not only by the Dep Ed but also
with the two giant agencies of the government; TESDA and CHED.
This coming school year 2012-2013 will be the starting year for this change
which started from the roll – out of Grades 1 and 7.Implementation of this curriculum will
be simultaneous both the public elementary and secondary schools and of course with
no exception to the private schools hence further enhancement could be done to suit
their school vision / mission is allowed. On this aspect it is expected that general
guidelines will be followed which covers all possible areas and that, schools are
challenge to perform in a creative and innovative ways. Part and parcel of the
successful implementation is the full support of the teachers and should serve as the
human dynamite that could create an atmosphere being the catalyst of change.
Paramount to this, a teacher must possess basic competencies in order to become an
effective K to 12 implementers; although each one of us has our own unique style
based from orientations in life and the way we come up with different changes to any
presented innovations.
20
To what extent does a teacher possess on becoming a K to 12 implementer?
Have they recalled and internalized the 5 C’s of an effective teacher? As the prime
agent of change I believe that as a teacher and as a leader both should possess this 5
C’s to enable one to propel a child in achieving personal development and self-
determination in its own free and responsible ways. Such that teaching the learners in
the forms of content and performance standards be facilitated. As to what pupils are
expected to know, be able to do and understand and on the other hand as an
implementer we can assist the learners to be able to use their learning or understanding
in real –life situations; and they should be able to do in their own. Such will be
achievable when internalizing the 5C’s in a way that teacher should be committed; a
“commitment” that we could educate the child’s faculty of the mind; the will and intellect
of the child be satisfied in a well-chosen manner. In order for the teacher to impart
knowledge, he should equipped oneself with “competent” by knowing where he should
direct the child’s learning, providing herself with substantial facts on the subject matter.
Further, a teacher could be “creative”, a creativity that be radiated to the learners; on
being the agent of transformation, his application of knowledge be evident to the child’s
outcome. The next C is of being “compassion”, to be able to do something for the
betterment; of doing work with people (stakeholders) around him with a common goal of
enabling students to become globally competitive upon finishing his studies. Finally,
developing learners in a way to become a better citizen is a combined effort foremost by
the parents and importantly by the teachers. A teacher should teach with example on
doing right in the right possible ways and perspectives. Possessing all and equipping
with all these qualities of a teacher will facilitate the planned change of our curriculum
wherein it evolves on different context but with common goal on achieving –Quality and
Competitive Education. The main purpose of which is to facilitate pupil’s ability to
understand and acquire knowledge, and to find methods of gaining and storing this and
come to use it in a real-life situations.
21
The Philippine education system pursues the achievement of excellent
undergraduates in the elementary and secondary level. The Department of Education
pronounces the addition of two more years in the basic education of students, which
according to them will benefit not only the Filipino youth but all the Filipino in the
Philippines. (Luistro, 2010)
The administration asserts that with the implementation of such program, the
problem of unemployment in the country will be resolved. In as much as employment in
the Philippines is concerned, the K - 12 education also responds to the fact that most
countries in the world already have the same plan in their educational institutions. With
this, the standards of these countries go a notch higher than what the country has, thus,
creating an expansion in the global competency. (DepEd, 2010)
Philippine Government
This study will allow the Government to produce productive and skilled persons.
It helps to strengthen the educations of the learners as well as to provide finance to the
DepEd for the development and enhancement of the education in the Philippines.
Community
This study will help to understand the importance of the K – 12 Basic Education
Curriculum on developing the learners for them to become better persons.
22
Parents
This study will help parents to understand why there should be a need to extend
two more years of K – 12 Curriculum in able to know about the implementations of
former President Aquino.
This study will allow students and teachers to test their own opinion about K – 12
Curriculum in able to know what are the tracks that will be chosen and what will be the
future of the students here in Manicahan National High School. When the students can
express themselves, teachers can diagnosed what has been learned especially the
Junior High School Students can be the one to choose the tracks and strands that they
want for the Senior High School. Same goes with Senior High School Students will be
choosing three plans in able to proceed (Ready for Job, College Ready and Ready for
Business).
The Purpose of this study is to know their age, their gender, and their civil status
of the respondents and know the responses of the respondents based on the Survey
Questionnaires of their Personal and as a Student in our Society either Not All True,
Slightly True, Moderately True, Much True and Very Much True and lastly is to
understand the other perceptions towards K – 12 Curriculum.

b. Student
Theoretical Framework:
According to Olivia Thomas in the website of Blabla Writing, education is one of
the ways to change life, change values and change fate of one’s individual. K – 12
curriculum is part of the proposed educational reforms of the Philippines present
President which shifts the Philippine Basic Education system to twelve years plus the
kinder from the current ten years. The theoretical framework has a star to symbolize the
students as the center of the K – 12 curriculum. This study was anchored by the point of
view and theories of the following well – known activities which are relevant to the
researchers study.
24
The perception of the students in K – 12curriculum will be a best solution to all
the problems to be encountered of this program which will lead to a better and effective
implementation of the K – 12 Curriculum.
Conceptual Framework:
DEPENDENT VARIABLE
INDEPENDENT VARIABLE
*AGE
*GENDER
*CIVIL STATUS
25
Hypothesis:
There is no significant difference on the factors affecting towards K – 12
Curriculum because the teachers and the parents cannot be approved in this
implementation of the K – 12 Curriculum based on the administrators that they possess
in this manner.
26
Definition of terms:
The K to 12 curriculum covers Kindergarten and 12 years of basic education (six
years of primary education, four years of Junior High School, and two years of Senior
High School [SHS]) to provide sufficient time for mastery of concepts and skills, develop
lifelong learners, and prepare graduates for tertiary education, ready for job and ready
for business.
Sources - Refers to the basis and foundation where the K – 12 curriculum was
been known enough for teachers, parents and students. This can be a through media
such as radio, television, etc.
Age -the length of time that a person has lived or a thing has existed.
Gender -the state of being male or female (typically used with reference to social
and cultural differences rather than biological ones).
Civil Status -corresponds to your family situation. It can mean being single,
married, in a civil union, adopted, divorced, a member of a single-parent family, or any
form of family ties or affinity with another person.
Personal -of or concerning one's private life, relationships, and emotions rather
than matters connected with one's public or professional career.

CHAPTER II
RELATED LITERATURE AND STUDIES
This chapter must compose of related literatures and studies and related
readings. The researcher has gone through intensive readings of materials, both printed
and downloaded through internet which has a great significance to problem during the
course of thesis writing.
From the Isagani Cruz (The Philippine Star) | Updated November 22, 2012 -
12:00am. What is the role of literature in the new K to 12 curriculum? We can take a
quick glance at the learning competencies and standards in the new curriculum to see if
literature will finally be given its proper place in the education of our youth.
Creative writing is included in the curriculum now used for Kindergarten classes.
Our children are going to be prepared to appreciate and even to produce literature from
Day One of their stay in public schools.
Songs, poems, and narratives are included among the texts that should be
understood and appreciated by elementary school pupils.
The K to 12 Curriculum Guide for English for Grades 1 to 3, for example, lists the
following competencies, Describe literary elements of text including characters, plot
(specific events, problem and solution), and setting, Describe characters (e.g., traits,
roles, similarities) within a literary selection, Make simple inferences about thoughts and
feelings and reasons for actions, Identify key themes and discuss reasons for events.
Florante at Laura, the Noli, the Fili, and some of the novels included in the 1997
Canon of Philippine Literature are still going to be read in Junior High School (Grades 7
to 10), as they are now. The Competencies Matrix for Grades 7-10 for English lists skills
such as the following: Identify dominant literary devices and figures of speech that add
28
color and heighten meaning in the reading selection, Use specific cohesive and literary
devices to construct basic literary and expository written discourse such as poetry,
drama, fables, parables, myths, legends, personal essays, biographies, and vignettes,
Ascertain the features of the reading selection that clarify its adherence to or dismissal
of a particular tradition of literary production, Organize an independent and systematic
approach to critiquing a reading selection, The last two competencies assume that
literary history, literary theory, and literary criticism will be taught in Junior High School,
In the draft curriculum for Senior High School, there are two subjects explicitly focused
on literature and not on language (they can be taught in any language).
In the First Semester of Grade 12, a similar course called “Contemporary World
Literature” has been proposed, which would focus on the “study of international literary
texts originally written and/or published during the 21st century.” This course is derived
from the current college course called “Literatures of the World.”
Why is literature being given much more attention now than in the past? Simply
because literature has proven its worth in preparing what DepEd calls the “holistically
developed Filipino with 21st century skills.”
DepEd breaks down this overall outcome of basic education into four verifiable
types of skills: information, media and technology skills; learning and innovation skills;
life and career skills; and effective communication skills. Literature is a major factor in
achieving these four skills.
29
Film and television shows, for example, which are major forms of media, all use
literary techniques such as narrative, character, and theme. Newspapers also use
narrative, particularly in feature articles and continuing news stories.
Literary writers are nothing if not innovators. They continually create pieces that
have never been seen or read before. They explore and extend established forms of
writing. They reinvent language with every literary text they write.
Needless to say, writers are the best users of language. Literature is the
benchmark for all effective communication.
According to Gloria Sanchez, the review of the literature for this study focuses
on education and its role in shaping the future of students in K to 12 Curriculum in
response to global competitiveness particularly in ASEAN Economic Community by
2015. The literature will also discuss issues about job market, job mismatch,
competitiveness and marketability or employability. At this pace of this changing society
and economy a lot of actions should take place.
30
They have to face a lot of challenges especially educators who are being asked
to do more with less due to rapidly evolving technologies and ongoing shifts in global
economy and demography. A successful education system will need to be of paramount
importance if a multicultural society to succeed and prosper in the future. Education is a
gateway to a better job and greater earning potential. One key to understanding this
issue is an appreciation of the overall landscape education and training.
K to 12 is a solution to create opportunities that will help all children from the time
they enter the classroom to when they join the workforce. McCleary (2012)
31
The 8 core curricula have 17 core subjects while the 4 tracks have 16 track
subjects or a total of 33 subjects for SHSC of which each subject will entail 80 hours of
classes per semester for the four semesters involved in Grades 11 and 12 or a total of
2,640 hours to complete the Senior High School level.
The term ―learning experience is not the same as the content with which a
course deals nor the activities performed by the teacher. The term ―learning
experience refers to the interaction between the learner and the external conditions in
the environment to which he/she can react. Learning takes place through the active
behavior of the student.
Each student in Senior High School can choose among three tracks: Academic;
Technical-Vocational-Livelihood; and Sports and Arts. The Academic track includes
three strands: Business, Accountancy, Management (BAM); Humanities, Education,
Social Sciences(HESS); and Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics (STEM).
32
One interesting part of the program is the students immersion, which may include
earn-while-you-learn opportunities, this will provide them relevant exposure and actual
experience in their chosen track.
After finishing Grade 10, a student can obtain Certificates of Competency (COC)
or a National Certificate Level I (NC I). After finishing a Technical-Vocational-Livelihood
track in Grade 12, a student may obtain a National Certificate Level II (NC II), provided
he/she passes the competency-based assessment of the Technical Education and Skills
Development Authority(TESDA). NC I and NC II improves employability of graduates in
fields like Agriculture, Electronics, and Trade.
Luistro said during a talk that after going through Kindergarten, the enhanced
Elementary and Junior High curriculum, and a specialized Senior High program, every K
to 12 graduate will be ready to go into different paths may it be further education,
employment, or entrepreneurship. Every graduate will be equipped with information,
media and technology skills, learning and innovation skills, effective communication
skills, and life and career skills. This law is very important to the study as a backbone of
this research. The researcher will be guided by means of this K to 12 Toolkit.
Angara in his speech explained that it is necessary that we should add two years
for basic education program, so that Philippines will not remain as one among the three
countries in the UNESCO with less than 12 years of education--the others being Angola
and Djibouti. To improve the quality of workmanship and employment status we need to
upgrade our BEC so as qualified professionals will not be treated like second-rate
workers. Angara cited that today, education and training are being judged based on
global standards.
We might have good universities but this is not enough since institutionally and
as a country, we are looked down upon by the world education leaders," he moaned.
We should prepare not only for K-12 but as well as ASEAN 2015 based on AEC or also
known as ASEAN Economic Community. Angara said that "We must face the fact that
our current educational system is dysfunctional.
33
Some of the reasons are: (1) physical deficiency or chronic shortages in
classrooms seats, books, even in hygiene facilities, as well as qualified teachers. (2)
undertrained professionals (3) Job mismatch between the academic programs being
offered and the market demand.
Their future plans and career matters most. In order to facilitate engagement,
education programs must be accessible to students of varying abilities and aptitudes,
particularly for those who do not see themselves attending university. These programs
must be supported by clear pathways to work. In some provinces and school boards,
technical programs, specifically those delivering Technical Vocational Education and
training (TVET), are closely aligned with labor market demands and in STEM (science,
technology, engineering, mathematics) fields and high demand career paths. This
approach can create options for students that lead to entry-level jobs, higher education
degrees, and advanced career paths.
34
years in able to learn the students in the 21 st Century as they finish this K – 12
Curriculum whether the students should proceed to college in able to learn more, the
students also should proceed to work or the students should proceed to have their own
business based on the tracks that they get. The aims of this research is to investigate
and compare the perceptions of students as long as the parents and teachers involved
in this program and to examine the extent to which programs can make their own violent
reactions regarding the issues associated with this program between primary and
secondary schools. Although executive staff and teachers also provided valuable
information and perceptions of their own responses with regards to our program which
is the K – 12 Curriculum in able to know them why is it like that kind of implementation.
Another researcher which is Marston (2011) was also conducted a related study
about the Perception of Students and Parents involved in Primary to Secondary School
Transition Programs. Transition programs, of different formats and complexities, based
on both Australian and international research, have been introduced in some schools to
facilitate transition. The aims of this research were to investigate and compare the
perceptions of students, parents and teachers involved in several of these programs
and to examine the extent to which transition programs can alleviate issues associated
with transition between primary and secondary schools. Although executive staff and
teachers also provided valuable information and perceptions.
This study is related to the researcher’s study for this also focuses on the
perception of parents but differ because it focuses on both the perception of students
and parents regarding the transition programs from primary to secondary school.
35
other means of job satisfaction and fulfillment. (Nolledo:1992). Article XIV of the
constitution which focused on education in which section I states that “the state shall
protect and promote the right of all citizens to quality education at all levels and shall
take appropriate steps to make such education accessible to all”.
“We are the last country in Asia and one of only three countries in the world with
a 10-year pre-university program” (source: SEAMEO Innotech 2011) The Department
of Education has formally launched its K-12 program, which adds 2 years to basic
education in the country. This means that aside from kindergarten, 6 years of
elementary, and 4 years of high school, students will have to undergo an additional 2
years of study in senior high school. Education Secretary Armin Luistro (2011) says the
additional 2 years will help students decide what course they will take in college. It will
also help high school students to be given a chance to specialize in science and
technology, music and arts, agriculture, fisheries, sports, business entrepreneurship,
and others. K-12 aims to make basic education sufficient enough so that anyone who
graduates can be gainfully employed and have a productive life. K – 12 will look at the
possibility of specialized education such as a high school or community, which will focus
on the arts or agriculture. Education Secretary Bro. Armin Luistro said that the proposal
will make high school graduates employable, making tertiary education unnecessary to
get a job. That proposal of Department of Education to add two more years to basic
education drew mixed reactions in the Senate. Senate President Juan Ponce Enrile
(2011), expressed support to the DepEd’s K – 12 as he agrees with the proposal
because the country needs to increase its competitiveness at the international level. He
said: We are underrated by other countries, our educational system. It is painful for
others. But for the country we have to do it.
To implement the program, the DepEd has to work with Congress to amend the
existing law, Batas Pambansa 232 or the “Education Act of 1982,” which states that the
basic formal education is a 10-year program. Senate education committee head
Senator Edgardo Angara (2010) had earlier said that they have created technical
36
working groups (TWG) to study the proposal and call for a wider consultation regarding
the matter. The Reactions about K – 12 curriculum that Senator opposes proposed
DepEd K-12 program. Senate Majority Floor Leader Vicente "Tito" Sotto explained why
he opposed the proposal of the Department of Education (DepEd) to amend the law on
the country’s basic education to increase the number of school years to 12 from the
present 10- year program. "I oppose the addition of two years to basic education. There
is no clear benefit to adding two years to basic education," Sotto said in a privilege
speech at the Senate. He added that the national budget can't even provide sufficient
funds to maintain the present number of years of basic education, but now the DepEd
wants to add more to it. According to him, adding two years to basic education will
further increase our budget deficit. We need quality education, not quantity of years in
education. We need more schools, not more years in school. Kabataan Partylist Rep.
Raymond Palatino called this move by Education Secretary Armin Luistro a "delusions
of grandeur". He said that in a poverty- stricken country like the Philippines, the
implementation of the K+12 was a "question of survival", especially for parents who
could barely send their children to school. He added that this new education plan will
not address the escalating number of out-of-school youths, nor lift the employment rate,
because the real problem is the low employment opportunities.
Senators Chiz Escudero was also against the implementation of the K+12
Education plan. Escudero pointed out that it is not in the length of educational years, but
the quality of education a student can acquire. And this has to begin by training teachers
to be competitive, create more classrooms and improve learning facilities, and provide
budget for textbooks.
37
lacks of educational resources such as classroom and teachers and some parents can’t
wait to have their children start working. Nograles (2010), son of former House Speaker
Prospero Nograles, also noted that the government’s public school system does not
have enough classrooms, teachers and well-equipped educational facilities which are
required for the effective implementation of the proposal. The younger Nograles said,
the reality on the ground is that some schools even have to divide their classes to
morning and afternoon sessions to accommodate more students …We need to
modernize our public school system first before we could even consider expanding the
cycle of our basic education system. He added that with the current 10-year basic
education cycle, schools even lack teachers who will provide quality education as higher
salaries encourage them to pursue work abroad. He said, once we are assured that
there are no longer classrooms under the trees, then we are ready to have a 12 – year
basic education cycle.

CHAPTER III
RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
This chapter contains the research design and the methodology used in the
conduct of this study. It incorporated the sampling technique, sources of data, the
research subjects, population of the study, the instrument utilized to gather data, as well
as the statistical tools employed in processing the data.
Research Methodology
This study utilized the descriptive – survey in order to achieve the purpose of this
study – which is to determine and describe the thoughts and feelings of parents of
Grade VII to Grade XII students from Manicahan National High School, Zamboanga
City and the Grade XI and Grade XII at the Unibersidad de Zamboanga. It is descriptive
in a sense that the data obtained were analyzed and described. The researcher used

The concept of establishing high schools in rural areas was the brain child of Dr.
Pedro Oreta, known as the father of the barangay high schools. Thus, in 1972,
Manicahan Extension High School became the pilot barangay school in Zamboanga
City.
At the onset of the college, Mr. Tomas A. Castillo, with a BSE degree, served as
the Principal of the high school department and as the School Registrar; Professor Leon
B. Dannug, with Bachelor of Arts and Masters Degree, became the College Dean; while
Eng. Arturo Francisco Eustaquio oversaw the entire operation as the President.
The Zamboanga Arturo Eustaquio Colleges (ZAEC) was established with the
main objective of providing affordable education to the underprivileged. This aim was
driven by the founder’s dream and inspired by his own life story for he himself was once
a struggling UP scholar. Eng. Eustaquio wanted a school that would embody the ideals
40
and aspirations of the youth, live up to the expectations of the people of a school for
everybody, regardless of social standing, religion, political affiliations, and one that in
parts a higher level of understanding that enable students to be successful in their
professional and personal endeavor.

The Table 4 shows the Level on the perception of the students towards K-12
Curriculum; there are two dependent variables that we focus which is Personal and
Student. At first, we interpret the Personal Variable because based on the questions that
they respond, 50% of the respondents responded as Moderately True and 50% of the
respondents responded as Much True but if we total the number of responses and what
is the average and their interpretation of the Personal Question will be computed as
3.55 and which is under Much True because the respondents have something much
true of this implementation of K – 12 Program but somehow, there at times that there
are something true or not about this implementation based on their own personal
responses and therefore, the result of this if we will make the decision is a Very Good
Result. At second, we interpret the Student Variable based on the questions that they
respond, 40% of the respondents responded as Moderately True, 50% of the
respondents responded as Much True and 10% of the respondents responded as Very
Much True but if we total the number of responses and what is the average and their
interpretation of the Students Question will be computed as 3.62 and which is under
Much True because the respondents have something much true of this implementation
of K – 12 Program but somehow, there at times that there are something true or not
about this implementation based on their own student responses and therefore, the
result of this if we will make the decision is also a Very Good Result.
