K - 12 BEC

WHAT IS K-12 PROGRAM?

The K to 12 Program covers 13 years of basic education with the following key stages:

• Kindergarten to Grade 3

• Grades 4 to 6

• Grades 7 to 10 (Junior High School)

• Grades 11 and 12 (Senior High School)

Why are we now implementing 12 years of basic education?

The Philippines is the last country in Asia and one of only three countries worldwide with a 10-year pre-university cycle (Angola and Djibouti are the other two).

A 12-year program is found to be the best period for learning under basic education. It is also the recognized standard for students and professionals globally.
