The Changing Landscapeof Philippine Education:Implications for USC BED Programs Fr. Dionisio M. Miranda, svd 29 June 2011
Paradigm Shifts andInstitutional Ruptures • Philosophy of BED: K-10 vs. K-12 • Personal and Character Formation • Preparation for productive citizenship • Preparation for the world of work or college • Objectives and Methods: K-10 vs. K-12 • MTB-MLE • Socialization • Competencies
Educational System Shifts: SHS • National and regional agenda • Business and industry linkages • Mainstreaming voc-tech • Administration: Bridging to HEI • Two years taken over from the traditional college • Community college / Jr College / Career Academy organization
From K-10 to K-12: Challenges of - Reorganization?- Reconstitution?- Refounding?
TESDA CERTIFIED SPECIALTY TECH-VOC INSTITUTES SAT (15%-20% to College) 2018-2019 College material: More mature – past adolescence More decided – no more shifts More serious – better prepared for college life Current Structure of USC BED SC & NC Kinder 1 & 2
USC Kindergarten • The Kindergarten Education Act (2011) makes K obligatory for entry into Grade 1 beginning June 2011. • Reader by Gr. 1 (instead of Gr. 3) • Review of the “headstart values” of Daycare / Nursery / Preparatory, etc. • BED NC and SC must follow suit.
Grs. 1-3 • MTB – MLE Methodology or Mother-tongued based, Multi-lingual education • Textbook Call • Teacher Training • Preparation of Facilities
Specialization to prepare students for any of the following: • Employment • Entrepreneurship • Tertiary education • Middle level skills education • Higher education 11 - 12 • Consolidation of Knowledge and Skills • Development of Personality, Attitudes and Values • Development of Aptitudes and Interests • Grade 9 • Career Exploration and Exposure • Aptitude Test • Grade 10 • Special Curricular Programs (Arts, Sports, Journalism, Foreign Language, S & T, TechVoc) 7 - 10 General Academic Program 4 - 6 • Development of Complex Knowledge, Skills. Personality , Attitudes and Values • Mastery and Application of Basic Knowledge and Skills • Development of Personality, Attitudes and Values K - 3 Figure 3. The Proposed K to 12 Basic Education Curricular Programs
GRs. 7-10 Grade9 • Career Exploration and Exposure • Aptitude Test Grade 10 • Special Curricular Programs (Arts, Sports, Journalism, Foreign Language, S & T, TechVoc)
Framework for the Design of the K+12 Curriculum Vocational-Technical Education Job College Determine intersection set of DLC’s Work backwards to build curriculum to support the common core If there is room put in electives for Jobs, College and Voc-Tech Design a seamless coherent curriculum Values Citizenship Work forward from Grade 1
Only for those intending to go to College Transition Curriculum Survey of Industry Desired Competencies Across Jobs Determine Desired Learning Competencies (DLC’s) for College Graduates Determine No. of years of College = Internationally Accepted No. of Yrs of Formation -12 Work backwards to determine academic admissions requirements which are now the DLC’s of the basic education program Determine the GAP and Design the Transition Curriculum to Bridge the GAP Determine Competencies of Graduates of Existing Curriculum Will it Fill Up 2 Years? What if NOT?

ORGANIZATIONAL OPTIONS • Option A is for USC to simply adopt K12 at BED. What program segments should it develop? Adding three tracks in the existing campuses will certainly be complicated, complex and restricted. • Option B is to retain the K10 BED and partner it with a free-standing Junior Polytechnic Institute for SHS students. How will this be structured (e.g., as SVD Educational Foundation Institute)? Where will it be located? Who will manage it? Will it be economically viable? Will USC accept Grs. 11-12 from schools which cannot provide for them? • Option C is to retain the K10 BED but embed the equivalent SHS offerings within the first two years of their respective colleges, in effect instituting semi-professional programs (Junior College) running alongside regular tertiary degree programs. This option has its accompanying issues (not all degree programs admit of easy ladderization, curriculum, faculty and facility-wise).
USC CAREER ACADEMY (?) The Career Academy can be a separate institution, or it could be a dedicated office for the administration and coordination of the delivery of the Senior HS Programs (Grades 11-12) where they have equivalents in cognate College programs (e.g., as lower levels of ladderized programs or dislocated programs of College 1 & 2).

Promise 21 • Pnoy Aquino’s promise for education (no. 21) • “We need to add two years to our basic education. Those who can afford pay for up to fourteen years of schooling before university. Thus, their children are getting into the best universities and the best jobs after graduation. I want at least 12 years for our public school children to give them an even chance at succeeding. • “My education team has designed a way to go from our current 10 years (6 elementary, 4 high school) to a K-12 system in five years starting SY 2011-12. Kindergarten (K) to Grade 12 is what the rest of the world gives their children. • “I will expand the basic education cycle in this country from a short 10-year cycle to a globally-comparable 12 years before the end of the next administration (2016).”
For reflection And he told them a parable: “Look at the fig tree, and all the trees; as soon as they come out in leaf, you see for yourselves and know that the summer is already near. So also, when you see these things taking place, you know that the kingdom of God is near. (Lk. 21: 29-31) Truly, truly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit. (Jn. 12:24)
