The Department of Education has come up with an additional list of participating schools modeling Senior High School (SHS) – part of the government initiative to identify best practices in the implementation of Grades 11 and 12 under the K to 12 Basic Education Program.
“We have here a longer list of schools piloting the SHS modeling program from where we can draw learning prior to the full implementation of K to 12 in 2016.
