Are in favor of the K+12 program of DepEd? Do you think these may help our educational system in the future? In my opinion, I’m not in favor of it. Why? Simply because this would cause so much difficulties to the parents. As we know, not all children are able to go to school. Basic reason is financial incapable. Most of the children now are working for their families even the young ones. The government cannot solve the problem of child labor in our country. If this will be pass by law, then surely many children will not be able to go to school. I know that the department of education would like to help the future generations to learn more and be efficient in their profession. I believe that this is really a great idea to achieve a good education. However, they can do all of these things not by adding another 2 years or more in educational system. They should hire good and efficient teachers and most importantly able to provide complete school supplies and facilities. We all know that our educational system is very poor. Lack of school facilities and supplies such as books. Department of Education must priorities more on how to motivate students to learn and not by adding years in school. What important is the things they learn in school and not the years they stay in school. Any comments.

i think this could also pose as an alternative to the high cost of college education. in developed countries, most people (no college degrees/dropouts) have a higher chance of surviving or competing in their jobs. this program gears up our students with better knowledge and competitive factor so that for other families who cannot afford a college education could at least be certain that their children could land a decent job.

Numbers of students in one classroom is a big factor.. especially those who class in diffent level but sharing classroom at the same time.. i made a discussion like these too.. and i'm not in favor.. definitely not.. they allocated to much budget for education but nothings happen.. eventhough they add another year specially in high school.. what would happen? high school graduate have less opportunities in finding good jobs..
