DepEd to start 'K+12' in June 2011

[eld]

As of now, our fresh graduates cannot work in Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, etc. because we lack the number of years in basic education which is a big disadvantage for our country in 2015.

So it all boils down to this? Hay, nakakaawa talaga ang Pilipinas.

Whether we like it or not, this is something that we need to do in preparation for the implementation and full realization of the declaration ASEAN 2015: One Vision, One Identity, One Community.

By 2015, the Asean region will become a single market and production base wherein there will be a free flow of goods, services, capital, skilled workers just like what Europe did.

is this true? i'm not aware of this, haven't heard or read about it. ok lang naman ata to. But this may lead to conclusions to other people, they may think that we are heading towards a one-world govenment, a new world order. 1st, UN, then, European Union, then, ASEAN. Sorry, OT, but I read a lot about oppositors of a New World Order, usually, they are the religious organizations who correlate politics with the revelations in the bible.

As unpopular as it is, this additional 2 years maybe liken to a bitter pill that we all need to take for the good of our country in the future.

But with 3-5 years of work experience,- these countries are hiring them as engineers, planners, architects, accountants et al....

Marami akong dating engineers na nasa Singapore, Malaysia, HongKong, Taiwan, Thailand, Indonesia, US (too) et al,- working as engineers and managers....

Right.

Euro Benefits Germany More Than Others in Zone

In fairness though, Euro or not no one can beat zee Germans. Not the Japs, not the Americans, not the Chinese.

Anyhoo, I'm looking forward to produce from Asean countries overwhelming our local farmers. Serves them right after the government took away my relatives' 500 hectare farm under that useless CARP.

you really believe that new grads stand a chance for good jobs overseas?

expereinced professionals find it difficult to land a job of the same level as what they have here sa ibang bansa... what more sa mga bagong graduate lang?

has it ever occurred to you that these countries (Phils included) would prioriticed their own over foreigners?

the logic, to me, is devoid of realistic expectation. sorry.

According to the latest Global Competitive Index (GCI) data, the Philippines needs to improve more on the basic requirements of competitiveness, namely institutions, infrastructure, macroeconomic stability, health, and primary education. GCI data also show that the Philippines has to get better in higher education and training, goods-market efficiency, labor-market efficiency, financial-market development, technological readiness and market size. Further, the country needs to develop business sophistication and innovation, according to GCI.

Ok lang naman ito. Sa mga International Schools dito, up to K12 talaga. Besides, two years lang naman.

[eld]

ahahaha katangahan to. San ka naman kukuha ng pampasweldo ng additional teachers? At majority teachers sa Pinas eh mediocre ang intellect. Puro sulat at memorization lang sa blackboard. Walang healthy debate or discussion. At kapag 50 kayo sa klase eh mahirap matuto. I should know, puro tsismisan lang kami ng mga frends ko sa likod palagi nung high school ako.

Ahahaha! Pareho kami ng sentiment ng foreigner na 'to. Tanga nga karamihan ng teachers sa Pilipinas (tama si Osang.) Wala talagang kwenta yang K12 na yan. http://answers.yahoo.com/question/in...5233832AATPV7m

are we really prepared and ready to implement this in the Philippines and to the philippine schools abroad considering the current state of education and economic situation???

kagaya na naman eto ng ambitious na EVat na dati'y isinangkalan din nila ang globalization at international trade agreement.. nasan na nga ba tayo ngaun, sinu ba talaga nakikinabang? ang mamamayan o ang mga politiko lamang?

for several decades, Filipinos who finished their primary and secondary education were globally competitive but not up to early 2000 the education system crumbled down especially mga curriculum nila at pati na din mga noob teachers..

dito sa abroad, mga philippine schools ay may public school curriculum pero ang binabayad ng mga magulang ay para kang nagpapaaral ng kolehiyo sa taas ng tuition at bayarin sa school na halos umaabot sa higit 100K pear school year bawat estudyante, at wala man lang magawa ang philippine embassy para man lang punahin at pigilan ang mga philippine schools abroad sa pagtataas ng mga tuition fees..

hindi maiiwasang magduda ang nakakarami sa hakbang na ito lalo na't simulat sapul eh ang mga dyaskeng politko at mga buwayang businessman lang ang makikinabang!

[niky]

The government doesn't have nearly enough money to implement this.

Even scarier, when the program reaches fruitition in 2016... we will have two years wherein there will be almost no incoming first year College students.

In this way, government can kill off all the private schools and raise a generation of High School graduates who won't be able to get a College diploma because there's not enough space at State Schools to take them all.

Bravo, DepEd. Good job! Viva la Filipinas! Viva la Educacion!
