K+12 Program in the Philippines: Good or Bad?

Staunch advocates of the education program K + 12 urged the public to give the program a chance even if it draws criticisms from the very teachers that are supposed to promote the program.

Representative Mel Senen Sarmiento of Samar’s first district said that K +12 is an answer to the low employability of our college graduates.

“Our high school graduates are not yet mature,” he told the more than 100 education summiteers in Tacloban City.

“Look at the better schools like Ateneo and La Salle, theirs is a 12-year program,” he added.

The Samar solon went on to say that these schools are able to produce students that are easily absorbed by the labor force.

Sarmiento, who has always shown his support to education even as a mayor of Calbayog City, said he had the public school in mind in the K+ 12 advocacy.
