Introduction
of primary education, four years of Junior High School, and two years of Senior High
School [SHS]) to provide sufficient time for mastery of concepts and skills, develop
lifelong learners, and prepare graduates for tertiary education, middle-level skills
K-12, a term used in education and educational technology in the United States,
Canada, and possibly other countries, is a short form for the publicly-supported school
grades prior to college. These grades are kindergarten (K) and the 1st through the 12th
grade (1-12). (If the term were used, "13th grade" would be the first year of college.)
Most communities in the United States and Canada (and wherever else the term is used)
are just beginning to provide modern information technology at the K-12 levels.
According to Cornell, 2010, almost everybody knows about the current education
system that regulates the public schools. This system is already popularly known as the
K-12 education. There are thirteen grades that make up the K-12 system starting from
kindergarten up to twelfth grade, thus the name K (kindergarten) to 12 (12th grade). This
kind of education system is not just applied in United States. Even those who are living in
United Kingdom, Canada, and other parts of Europe use the K-12 at the same time.

Local Literature
We need to add two years to our basic education. Those who can afford pay up
to fourteen years of schooling before university. Thus, their children are getting into the
best universities and the best jobs after graduation. I want at least 12 years for our public
school children to give them an even chance at succeeding. (Aquino III, 2011)

the researchers study as it also focuses on the problems perceived about the K 12
program which affects the students performance and parents perception. Related
Readings the operation of our educational system revolves around laws legislated by
congress. The primary source of these laws is the 1987 constitution. Aseparate Article of
education is provided in the 1987 constitution. It prescribes that the state shall assign the
highest budgetary priority to education and ensures that teaching will attract and retain its
rightful share of the best available talents through adequate remuneration and other
DepEd has finalized its work plan for the implementation of its K+12
(Kindergarten plus 12 years) proposal, which aims to add two years of senior high school
to the current 10-year cycle in line with international standards. The department
willstudy which courses and competencies should be introduced in the additional two
years, and review items that appear redundant in the current 10-year program.The

department will be looking at the most important skills and subjects that ought to be
learned by students in junior high, and what other skills ought to be added for grades 11
DepEd should get support from Congress for an additional P45-billion funding
for the government-subsidized Grade 11 either in the 2012 or 2013 budget for some 1.5
million high school graduates in 2016 that will be the first batch to enter the first year of
senior high school.Valisno issued an appeal as well as a challenge to all senators and
congressmen in the two houses of Congress, whether allies of President Aquino or from
the political opposition, to support the governments move.The program would add
another two years to the current 10-year BEC which has only six years of elementary and
four years of high school, aside from the mandatory kindergarten or pre-school.We need
to start K+12 as early as possible so we can produce high school graduates that are more
the country needs to increase its competitiveness at the international level. We are
underrated by other countries, our educational system. It is painful for others. But for the
country we have to do it. To implement the program, the DepEd has to work with
Congress to amend the existing law, Batas Pambansa 232 or the Education Act of
1982, which states that the basic formal education is a 10-year program. (Enrile, 2011)

I opposed the proposal of the Department of Education (DepEd) to amend the
law on the countrys basic education to increase the number of school years to 12 from
the present 10- year program. "I oppose the addition of two years to basic education.
There is no clear benefit to adding two years to basic education," The national budget
can't even provide sufficient funds to maintain the present number of years of basic
education, but now the DepEd wants to add more to it. Adding two years to basic
education will further increase our budget deficit. We need quality education, not
quantity of years in education. We need more schools, not more years in school. (Sotto,
2011)
K+12 was a "question of survival", especially for parents who could barely send their
children to school. This new education plan will not address the escalating number of
out-of-school youths, nor lift the employment rate, because the real problem is the low
It is not in the length of educational years, but the quality of education a student
can acquire. And this has to begin by training teachers to be competitive, create more
classrooms and improve learning facilities, and provide budget for textbooks. (Escudero,
