(Inquirer) — The Department of Education (DepEd) on Wednesday disclosed to the public its progress on the ongoing revision of the K-to-12 curriculum aimed at producing more job-ready graduates and sought feedback on the proposed changes and curriculum guides.
The review, initiated by former Education Secretary Leonor Briones, was conducted by the department’s Bureau of Curriculum Development in collaboration with the Assessment, Curriculum and Technology Research Center and followed criticisms that the program had failed in churning out employable graduates. The most recent was the Commission on Human Rights situational report which showed that fresh graduates were having difficulty landing jobs.
Based on the overall draft referred to by DepEd as the general shaping papers, one of the new features of the 2022 curriculum would be the “focus on big ideas” to address key findings in DepEd’s study showing that its overcrowded and congested content hampered learners from fully grasping and understanding different concepts.
“Results show that only a few teachers reported having adequate time to teach all learning competencies,” DepEd noted, adding that typically, only less than 20 percent of the teachers reported they had enough time to teach all the required learning competencies in a quarter.
