MANILA, Philippines — The Department of Education (DepEd) will adopt a phased implementation of the revised Grade 1 to 10 curriculum, with the pilot implementation set in select schools starting this year.
Vice President and Education Secretary Sara Duterte led the launching of what the DepEd called the “MATATAG K-10 curriculum of the K-12 program” in Pasay City yesterday.
Among its key features is the “decongestion” of the learning competencies, including the reduction of subjects from Kinder to Grade 3 to focus on foundational skills such as oracy and numeracy.
It will also intensify values education and strengthen peace education, which will be integrated in different subjects.
Sara thought the “K” stands for “Komunista” and signed up to fight them.
