Suspend K to 12: A Call to Action

This document provides 10 reasons why the K-12 education program in the Philippines should be suspended. It argues that the government is not adequately prepared or funded to implement the 12-year basic education cycle mandated by K-12. It also claims that K-12 will lead to a decline in education quality and force students into low-paying jobs rather than tertiary education. Additionally, it states that key subjects are being removed from the curriculum and that there was insufficient consultation on the program's design and implementation.

United by our commitment to serve the public


through ensuring quality education for
everyone, we, teachers, parents, students,
administrators, professionals, and concerned
citizens of the Philippines, call upon the
second Aquino regime to IMMEDIATELY
SUSPEND THE K TO 12 PROGRAM, BASED
ON THE FOLLOWING REASONS:

1. The government is not prepared to


implement a 12-year Basic Education Cycle
mandated by K to 12, as manifested by the
actual insufficiency of classrooms, libraries,
toilets, and other facilities; textbooks,
modules, and other instructional materials;
teachers, non-teaching staff, maintenance
staff and other education sector personnel in
the old 10-year Basic Education Cycle.

2. The government’s actual education budget


in recent decades never reached 4% of the
GDP, while the global standard is pegged at
6% of the GDP, hence, the K to 12 program
will be underfunded with predictably
disastrous consequences.

3. The almost simultaneous implementation of


three big educational reforms – Mother-Based
Multilingual Education (MTB-MLE) in the
primary level, the creation of a two-year senior
high school at the secondary level, and the
introduction of a trimmed down new General
Education Curriculum (GEC) at the tertiary
level – is very problematic and prone to
ineffective and inefficient implementation as
the government’s limited resources and
personnel will be very stretched.

4. As proven by subpar National Achievement


Test (NAT) results in recent years, the over-all
quality of education in the Philippines is bad
and stagnant if not declining, thus, to improve
the quality of education, the government must
prioritize the improvement of facilities and
teacher training, and increasing the salaries of
teachers and non-teaching personnel
especially those in public schools, from the
measly Php23,044 (Instructor 1 in state
colleges and universities), Php18,549
(Teacher 1 in DepEd schools), Php9,000
(typical entry-level salary of non-teaching
staff) to Php26,878; Php25,000; and
Php16,000 respectively, considering that a
PMA cadet’s monthly salary is Php27,425.

5. The enactment of CHED Memo No. 20,


Series of 2013 wich has trimmed down the
college General Education Curriculum (GEC)
and eventually cascaded subjects from
college to senior high school, has led to the
removal of vital subjects such as Filipino,
Literature, and Philippine Government and
Constitution.

6. Many courses – such as Housekeeping and


Caregiving – in the senior high school
curriculum are shockingly suitable only to
overseas jobs, and/or beneficial only to foreign
businesses – such as Medical Transcription
and Contact Center Services, thus the K to 12
Program has no nationalist and pro-Filipino
orientation, contrary to the requirements of
Article XIV, Sections 2 and 3 of the Philippine
Constitution.

7. Generally, the anti-tertiary education mantra


of the K to 12 program will manufacture young
and docile laborers who will be forced to
accept and be permanently chained to low-
paying and contractual jobs, at a time when
even many college graduates are unable to
find good jobs

8. The K to 12 program is a prelude to the


planned amalgamation/merging of state
universities and colleges (SUCs) under the
government’s Roadmap for Public Higher
Education Reform (RPHER) which may result
to the possible reduction of SUCs, local
universities and colleges (LUCs), and even
small private colleges and universities. At the
outset, it will lead to the massive displacement
of around 100,000 professors, teachers and
non-teaching personnel by 2016 when no one
will enroll in the tertiary level; and beyond,
once the slimmer GEC has become
permanent, and in a number of colleges and
universities, this scheme will also lead to the
massive contractualization of both teaching
and non-teaching staff.

9. Considering that more than 20 million


Filipinos are poor as per official government
statistics (close to 40 million as per World
Bank data), adding two more years in high
school will certainly be financially burdensome
for many families at this point, hence it is an
indirect assault to our people’s right to
education. In some SUCs, the proposed
annual fees for senior high school will reach a
whopping 16,000 pesos – a 1,600% increase
in the lowest tuition rate in the country, on top
of other school-related expenses!

10. No massive and genuinely democratic


consultations with teachers, parents,
students, and other stakeholders, were held
when the K to 12 Program was being crafted,
and before it was implemented; and the
government did not conduct a nationwide
assessment of the old 10-year Basic
Education Cycle and the previous primary and
secondary education curricula, hence the
sudden shift to a 12-year Basic Education
Cycle is all the more whimsical and at this
point, baseless.

They took my ideas…


For having the stolen knowledge,
(September 19, 2019), there were
these Japanese newsed liking to have
fizzled something in the Philippine
tourismBUT the IDEA is NOT EVEN
THEIRS.
May be knowing if our respondent is
viable having focused with the
Teaching Education updates, (2002).
“ They’re just with the ‘10’ and NOT
the College of Philippines… There
haven’t talked about their Data
Privacy Computer Case… They just
had it lightened with ‘gorgeousness’…”.
Hello, I’m a Filipino caring for our
community regarding the Pandemic…
We have 2, 5, and 7 already here (per
Accountability of Public Officers)…
It could be about money, beauty and
honor…Please see www. Why-the-k-
12-should-be-suspended/#10
comments.
They had ruined Federal Privacies…
was priorly focusing with the Mt.
Tralala as an Inclusive Alternate. The
whole area was said to have been sold
by had-borne-the-names Senator
Manny Villar with Tito Sen and Mang
Erning, Mang Paquito and a had-
borne-the-name Barbie Gelviro.
Aren’t we aware of our Cau-looking
clothing line models..? In as far as our
Visa matters are concerned, there
could’ve been those disguised and
had not even helped in the company’s
product marketing… They could had
done an Ober Da Bakod. The ‘spect ‘
could be UP THERE…
They took our Library Project (i.e.,
Hanna’s)… Please have Mr. Alden of
had-borne-the-name Ronnie Rickets
and Maila Gumila be reminded of the
names and faces used… The 15
BENCH Models (i.e., more than
Mariah’s… NPA newbreeds…and their
involvement to a cult organization…
Mother just got departed, I just don’t
think they’re not here…
Showbiz should have known whatever
had happened to the Pasukil Program
(hbtl. Unaccounted ’58).
For so claiming they’re royalties, they
could’ve forgotten their real roots…
The real parent of had-borne-the-
name Gretchen Barretto should stop
of me like had-borne-the-name Mr.
Joey De Leon … the NAME, they had
taken it with no contract… Fraud
relatives around… But the foods tastes
are just the same… Just a matter of…
ensembles..(?). If it’s just a “not true
story”…(see — LIKE TO SPEAK FOR
ALL, http://www.teacherph.com/10-
reasons-why-the-k-to-12-program-
should-be-suspended/). The initial
scenes of the move”e” have had
propensed of images looking like the
same… Is it a program…or just a
makeover..? In as far as our Visa
matters are concerned, there could’ve
been those disguised and had not
helped even in a company’s product
marketing… They could had done an
Ober Da Bakod… Should we step onto
somebody’s shadow or just be original
like genuine? My Lolo had not even
had him to act on his behalf…His
picture in my Mother’s old
memorabilla box was suddenly lost
this time… I cannot find HELP… Even
in the HELP were illegal fruits…Still…
How we care to our Filipino Children…
Before we have our Blended
Learning… we have our Media
Learning… Started in India to Japan,
from Japan to Spain, and from Spain
to Philippines… The U.S.A. had it
through Philippines… we just have had
the Kowledge Channel earlier, just
missing some complements regarding
Globalization, now were with Teacher-
Broadcaster format yet of inquisitive
Ecclessiaste’.
March 2006, as last dated , the K-12
brothers were seen in the media
network … I forgot, the surnames
sounds Spanish…
They said there is Solar when the
Philippines has money in the U.S.A.,
the TV MoDem could have helped but
the Problem is… the improper use of
media… Please be reminded if they
care…was really for a Student
Program…it’s not a giveaway…
Pandemic…Excuses…

One of Cadena’s last posts on Twitter,


made on Sept. 2, was fittingly a
retweet of one of Carey’s posts where
the singer joked about being confused
with Marie Curie.

If it’s just a “not true story”…There


could people knowing of Marie Curie
in the Movie “Titanic” May we be
knowing that the image had been
used just like a floating frozen THERE
in the initial scenes; may we be
knowing that the travel of the ship
could be going to the Philippines and
could be disproving, more than the
economic aspect it could bring…
There had been a picture of a
beautiful woman shown. It could also
be that one talked about by Filipino
artist – heroes in our old times. That
one involved with a family argue.
There were also speculations that the
country should have been not became
a part of WW1.

Lloyd Cafe Cadena is a Filipino


YouTube channel that has a net worth
of $958,000 dollars as of September
2020.

May be knowing that in the traffic, the


money would have to pass various
cost centers making it smaller and
smaller. If we are not into
merchandising and/ manufacturing it
could still deviate. And if we are into
SERVICE, may we be knowing that it is
not just like a profitable manicure with
informal accounts. May be knowing
that nobody should benefit at the
expense of another. I wonder what
people offshore could say to our
youths and oldie beginners. Just a
public concern…

Mariah Carey lamented the death of


one of her biggest Filipino fans,
YouTube star Lloyd Cadena, and sent
prayers to his family.
The Songbird Supreme took to her
official Twitter account earlier today,
Sept. 5, to share her reaction to
Cadena’s untimely passing.
“So sad [crying emoji] RIP Lloyd, you
will be missed [broken heart emoji]
Sending my prayers to his family and
friends during this difficult time,”
Carey said in a retweet of her Filipino
fan page’s tribute to Cadena.

The blessings of the Lord brings
wealth and He adds no trouble. Was
Vergerie in her real name? How
confiversial is she? But we’re like in a
story with her contracted’ speech? A
doctor or a Signh (?). Unnoticed isn’t
it… Please take care of Avila or
Encantadia? Sonia, WW2 (este Joana)
and other showbiz blondes untitlingly
MISLEADING wherever… Beware…
What would be the next? The Next…
Another Speech or a CONTRACT for a
TALKSHOW… IV – A should have
known about F Salon and remind not
to fizzle THIS Fair Life… Don’t destroy
our everyday. Excuses to the
Pandemic.

Pemberton was reported to have later


admitted that he murdered Laude
after he found out she was
transgender and had been born a
male. The killing spawned protests in
the Philippines by transgender rights
and other activists.

Jennifer Laude
We hope that of what should prevail is
just that will truly be loved by
everyone. For spreading the love to
kiss all the tears away and vanish all
our fears is a true joy. Could she the
h.b.t.n. “Shakira” that had gone to our
home after a volleyball game one
night of 2005 (March 19)?
P.S.:
Wala na pong Gozales sa Visayas
since 1503. The Quiambaos were a
1997. We hope we have had enjoyed a
career whether it be public or private;
on cam or off cam; with or without
anybody watching.We should not be
having hoped for a career plan – Be it
a ‘business as usual’ or a defuncted
one, it’s NOT money only that will
make it run…To the K – 12 Brothers (et
al., Knowledge Channel, Got Problem
With), regrets, for the performance
coutures were a female’s (h.b.t.n.,
Britney Spears, you, know?) and is
thus, a smaller…’Mine was an
underwear ng bayan’ and not having
worn since that…something real…
Please understand… May we be
knowing that it was a Miller not a
Farquirabao… For our home is not a
house, what could be that hoped true
beauty they are inhibiting on. Don’t be
triggered by just a startup of a facade
finishing. Let’s all take hold of our
heritage — loving ours … ‘could be our
last refuge… For now,.. embrace your
culture; respect your place; love your
self and be a beauty to the world…
There is a a time for everything and a
season for every activity under
Heaven…Ang isang mali ay hindi
maitatama ng isa pang pagkakamali…
Bad people selfing (ob, you know?)…
May be knowing to have not used the
words of God in these times… Please
not also the Church/s… We have our
Sundays and Summons and Prayers…
And it’s the address… Lobases were
