Each student in Senior High School can choose among three tracks: Academic; Technical-Vocational-Livelihood; and Sports and Arts. The Academic track includes three strands: Business, Accountancy, Management (BAM); Humanities, Education, Social Sciences (HESS); and Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics (STEM).

What is the advantages of TVL track?

TVL prepares students for a number of work fields. To succeed in this track, you ideally need to have these skills: Communication skills – ability to communicate well with clients and co-workers. Critical Thinking – ability to think and make smart decisions at the right time.

REASONS TO CONSIDER IN CHOOSING TVL TRACK IN SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL

1. The TVL Track can get you employed right after senior high school.

After 2 years of senior high TVL you’ll have earned employable skills and will thus be eligible to work.

2. Not everyone CAN or WILL go to college.

Before senior high school, give yourself an honest assessment. Answer this question; is college really for you? If you think you can’t or won’t be able to go to college – much less graduate college – then you have another option: the technical-vocational route.

In that case, the TVL Track of senior high makes better sense than the academic track.

3. Not everyone SHOULD go to college.

As earlier mentioned, while college is always an attractive option, not everyone can or will go to college. Nor should everyone go to college, apparently.

4. Lack of money is one of the top reasons students drop out of school.

This means that a lot of Filipinos drop out of elementary school and high school because they do not have the financial resources to stay in school. It is logical to suppose, therefore, that a lot of Filipinos are likely not attending college, cannot stay in college or will not even try for college because of economic reasons.

5. The TVL Track provides preparation for the bulk of occupations OFWs hold abroad.

Approximately three quarters of the Filipinos abroad hold jobs for which the TVL track may prepare you.

6. College graduates and professionals take TESDA certification training courses.

Why wait until after college to collect Certificates of Competency and National Certifications that will make you more employable when you can get them now, while you’re in senior high?

7. There is a positive employment outlook for TVL track senior high school graduates.

In the Philippines and abroad, there is and will continue to be demand for semi-skilled TVL Track senior high graduates and skilled TVET graduates.
