Secondary Education Curriculum (SEC)
The refinement of the secondary education curriculum was guided by the need, as articulated in the Education for All Plan 2015, to streamline its content in order to improve student mastery and contribute to the attainment of functional literacy. This became a primary consideration in the design of the curriculum and the formulation of standards and the essential understandings from which the content of the curriculum was derived.
Curriculum Content
The 2010 Secondary Education Curriculum still patterned the content of the curriculum to the 2002 Restructured Basic Education Curriculum. It still includes the five major learning areas:
1.English
2.Filipino
3.Science
4.Mathematics
5.Makabayan
a.Araling Panlipunan
b.Technology and Livelihood Education
c.Music, Arts, Physical Education and Health
d.Edukasyon sa Pagpapahalaga
The Values Education (VE) is integrated throughout the different learning areas.

Essential Understandings, which are the big and enduring ideas at the heart of the discipline and which we want the children to remember even long after they leave school.
Essential Questions, which are open-ended, provocative questions that spark thinking and further inquiry into the essential meanings and understandings.
Curriculum Objectives, which are expressed in terms of knowledge and skills that teachers
