THE EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM IN THE PHILIPPINES

The educational system in the Philippines prior to the mid-20th century was patterned on the educational systems of its earlier colonial powers, those of both Spain and the United States. However, after the Philippine independence in 1946 its educational system changed radically. The Philippines' Department of Education(or DepEd) administers the entire educational system, especially its curriculum, along with the utilization of given funds for school services, equipment, recruitment of teachers (for public schools only), etc. The former educational system of the Philippines was composed of 6 years of elementary education starting at the age of 6, and 4 years of high school education starting at the age of 12. Under this system compulsory education was not enforced. However, 2011 signaled the start of the implementation of a new educational system, which is the compulsory K-12 educational system that includes the new curricula for all schools (see 2010s and the K-12 program). All public and private schools in the Philippines must start classes from a date mandated by the Department of Education (usually every first Monday of June for public schools only), and must end after each school completes the mandated 200-day school calendar of DepEd (usually around the third week of March to the second week of April).

    Importance of School and Community Collaboration

    In the face of such overwhelming need, what does collaborative action offer? Most people would agree that it is considerably easier for children to develop and learn with the support of strong families who in turn enjoy the support of individuals and institutions in their surrounding communities. However, the increase in single-parent and dual-income families -- coupled with the gradual disappearance of villagelike communities -- leaves a growing number of children and families woefully isolated from helping relationships, peer and emotional support, and access to referral services (Weiss, Woodrum, Lopez, & Kraemer, 1993). When families, schools, and community institutions (e.g., local businesses, community colleges, and health agencies) collectively agree upon their goals and decide how to reach them, everyone benefits. Schools enjoy the informed support of families and community members, families experience many opportunities to contribute to their children's education, and communities look forward to an educated, responsible workforce. Benefits accrue to the staff of schools and community agencies as well: they can observe boosts in morale, heightened engagement in their work, and a feeling that their work will net results. Researchers and practitioners have documented for some time how schools and communities working toward common goals can be beneficial. Communities can provide schools with a context and environment that can either complement and reinforce the values, culture, and learning the schools provide for their students or negate everything the schools strive to accomplish (Ada, 1994; Bricker, 1989; Nieto, 1992). Communities also can furnish schools -- and the students in them -- with crucial financial support systems as well as the social and cultural values necessary for success and survival in contemporary society (Mattessich & Monsey, 1993; MDC, Inc., 1991; Miller, 1991). Finally, communities…

    K 12 CURRICULUM

    According to President Benigno S. Aquino, “We need to add two years to our basic education. Those who can afford pay 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.” In line with this, the 1987 Philippine Constitution states that, “The State shall establish, maintain, and support a complete, adequate, and integrated system of education relevant to the needs of the people and the society.“ Such mandate gives justice to the basic rights of every Filipino child: the right to quality education and the right to a quality life.…

    The system of education in the Philippines was patterned both from the education systems of Spain and United States. However, after the liberation of the Philippines in 1946, the system has changed radically and move at its own (Isidro 2003). Education is defined as preparation for effective participation in social relations. Sociologically speaking, education is the consciously controlled process whereby changes in behavior are produced in the person and through the person in the group. It is clear that education is a major factor in economic growth. A study made in Brazil showed that one additional year of average education per person in the labor force increased output by about 20%. Females are highly presented in all the three levels of education. The rates of failures, dropouts, and repetition are higher for males than females. Female graduates also outnumber males. The reasons cited for the above are: daughters receive more education but less land than sons, these are more opportunities for employment for males in the agricultural sector, parents rely more on their daughters to study diligently, keep stable jobs, and provide support in their retirement age. Education may be formal or informal. Informal education is learning through interaction with others in the group. Ideas and facts are acquired through suggestion, observation, example, imitation and inculcation from the family, play group, neighborhood or occupational group. Books, newspapers, magazines, radio, films and television are important instruments through which information and attitudes are acquired or learned. Non-formal education consists of sets of definite learning goals and objectives generally making use of a more flexible curriculum, less rigid admission procedures and more participative teaching methods. Non-formal education is not covered by the traditional school system. It usually runs in short durations and in many instances, seeks only to teach the student a…
