The enhanced Basic Education Act of 2013

(K-12)

?

K-12 program Makes the Philippine education system par with the international standard

of 12- year basic education thereby contributing to a better

educated society capable of pursuing productive

employment, entrepreneurship, or higher education studies.

After going through kindergarten, elementary, junior high and a specialized senior high school program, every k-12 graduate is ready to go into different paths– higher education, middle level

skills development or entrepreneurship. The k-12 graduates are also expected to be equipped with 21st century skills like

information, media and technology skills , learning innovation skills, effective

communication skills, and life and career skills.
