“Kailangan bigyan ang K to 12 ng chance ,” said Philippine Business for Education Executive Director Justine Raagas during the presentation of the State of Philippine Education Report on May 29.Raagas said underscored the importance of doing assessments as the Department of Education reviews the K to 12 program.
“DepEd is doing a review of the K to 10 system and we are supportive of that [and] the fact that they opened this to the public,” Raagas explained. She pointed out that assessing and seeing “where the problems” are is very important before declaring that the K to 12 program is a failure.“The first thing that we really need to do is to make sure that we assess and we see where the problems are first bago naman sabihin natin na it’s really failing,” Raagas said.Raagas noted that one of the issues where many people feel K to 12 has failed is that it has yet to deliver employability which was among its promises.
She added that for those who graduated from SHS, business still has an “aversion or kind of feels doubtful about high school degree.” This, Raagas said, is not the “fault of the schools or the system itself — it’s really perception.”“It is unfair to blame the system for employability when there are many other factors and there are many other players leading to unemployment or unemployability of young people,” she added.
