Immersion refers to the subject of the Senior High School Curriculum, which

involves hands-on experience or work simulation in which learners can apply

their competencies and acquired knowledge relevant to their track.

of the K to 12 Basic Education program is to develop in learners the

competencies, work ethics and values relevant to pursuing further education

and or joining the world of work. In order that the nations development target

will be realized and to achieve greater congruence with the basic education,

work immersion is a required subject that has been incorporated in the

curriculum.

that through work immersion, students are exposed to and become familiar

with work related environment related to their field of specialization to

enhance their competence. This is for the purpose that the students can relate

learners the competencies, work ethic, and values relevant to pursuing further

education and/or joining the world of work. To achieve greater congruence

between basic education and the nation’s development targets, Work
