TERTIARY LEVELS TO TRIM DOWN BY ONE YEAR THOUGH K+12 CURRICULUM

presscon26 (Photo credit: thepocnews)DepEd Secretary Armin Luistro has said that the number of years in Baccalaureate will be trim down by one-year through K+12 Curriculum.Most bachelor programs in the country are four-year courses, and some are five-year programs in the health and engineering professions and business specializations.

It was recommended that some of the general Education Subjects offered in college such as Rizal, Sining ng Pakikipagtalastasan and others would be injected in the Senior High. It would mean that all the subjects concentrated in the chosen degree will most likely be emphasized in their tertiary level. Instead of taking up 2 years for the General Education Subjects it would be one year and summer term only. This proposal would help the parents in the cost of education for the prolonged high school.

Graduation for high school would be twice, one for Junior High and other for Senior High.

But all of these shall be scrutinized in a public hearing.
