‘Confusing’ Mother Tongue subject removed; to remain as a medium of instruction --- DepEd

“What we removed was mother tongue as a subject but not mother tongue as a medium of instruction pursuant to the K to 12 law,” said DepEd Undersecretary and Spokesperson Michael Poa in a press briefing after the formal launch of the new K to 10 curriculum.Bureau of Curriculum Development Director Joyce Andaya explained the mother tongue, as a subject is “actually something that can be explained also or taken up” in other learning areas.

“Basically, yung mother tongue as a subject has caused some confusion among teachers in the field especially in the Luzon area,” Undersecretary for Curriculum and Teaching Gina Gonong explained. This “confusion,” Gonong said, is among the reasons why DepEd decided to remove the mother tongue as a subject in the adjusted K to 10 curriculum.
