Dear Dr. Olga,
I appreciate very much of our class discussions in comparative study in educational system . I would like to thank you for discussing K+ 12 Curriculum. It enhanced my understanding about this hot issue .It’s really a high time to change the curriculum because it has plenty of evidences for it’s curriculum dysfunction . Like the result of National Achievement Test , the jobless Filipinos and the deteriorating of Filipino culture and values. As educators commented about the congested curriculum, inadequate preparation of High School, mismatch to labor and economic market. Mostly, our college graduates don’t have the avenue for jobs. They could not be easily hired abroad because of the age . Graduates in the Philippines are too young compare to the standard of world market. The Basic Education program affect much of the human development of Filipino children K+12 years means Kindergarten and 12 years of elementary and secondary.
Being enrolled in this subject is a I beneficial one. I am updated with the current issues as far as DepED is concerned and it’s a great avenue to express my experiences , knowledge and abilities that in one way or the another learning takes place . I would also be continuously leaning from other especially to you Dr. Olga. I would like to recognize you effort in uploading the educational videos .The stories really inspired me and made me reflect which I also shared it to other principals and I believe could change ones perspective knowingly and unknowingly. I know that we will continue to become innovative partners of society in quest for quality education.
God bless you and your family always!

A speech to be delivered to the General Parent Teachers Association Meeting
To our young energetic Barangay Capt. Teodulo D. Pabatao ,to our very supportive GPTA President Mr. Joseph B. Abol, to our young and generous GPTA Auditor Mrs. Corazon B. Abucay,to the President of alumni association Mrs. Nanette Tarnate, The student pupil government Kate Tricia Lagunay to our cooperative parents , devoted teachers ,ladies and gentlemen.
Our national hero ones said that “ Youth is the hope of fatherland” I want to ask you about our observation about our youth, can we expect something from them ? Do they posses values worthy for emulation to the generations to come? Who among you here have children already graduated? After graduation , do they have avenues for job? Have you hear about K+12 ? Yes thank you for that . Did you understand what K+12 is all about? I hope you will listen to be able to understand it well so that you will also be the walking advertisement of this proposed change of curriculum. K12 is enhanced curriculum 12 years na ang Basic Education Program that is Kindergaten + 12 years in elementary and secondary education. In short additional years to equip our children for the necessary skills and abilities to be employed in the market world. Sa Pilipinas lamang mayroong 10 years in basic education. Sa mga lugar katulad ng Brunie, Cambodia, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand ,Vietnam ay may 12 years Basic Education. I have a friend her daughter who is a licensed nurse did not qualify to work abroad because of her age. Psychologists and educators say that children under 18 are generally not emotionally prepared for entrepreneurship or employment .In our present system there is a mismatch in the labor and education markets. The graduates in the Philippines are not automatically recognized as professionals abroad.
The advantages of this Enhanced curriculum is that every graduate of K+12 Basic Education is ready to take his place as productive and responsible member of society. Graduates will possess competencies and skills relevant to the job market so that our graduates will be prepared for higher education, better to start their own business and they could now be recognized abroad. Ang klase sa atong edukasyon layo ra sa laing nasud. Pina agi niining K+12, kindergarten,unom ka tuig sa elementayra, upat ka tuig sa junior high school,(Grades 11 to 12) duha ka tuig sa senior high school. The two years in senior high school will allow specializations in science and technology, music and arts, agriculture and fisheries, sports, business and entrepreneurship . Sa lagtod nga pagkasulti mao kini ang K-6-4-2 Model, 6 years modawat sa diploma, 4 years junior high school modawat gihapon og diploma ug usab ang 2 years nga senior high school. A full 12 years of basic education will eventually be required for entry into tertiary level education. Parents and stakeholders maybe you are still in doubt to this program . Ang sabi sa ating pangulo “ Tao ang Boss” Anuman ang opinion at kuro-kuro ninyo ay pwede nating pag usapan. What is important that the government officials are trying their best to improve the quality of educational system of the Philippines for the betterment of all Filipinos and the generations to come. I would like to say thank you for listening mabuhay ang Pilipino , mabuhay ang Pilipinas !

Dear Dr. Olga,
In the past I was pessimistic of contest or the idea of comparing because it is said in the scripture “ Do not compare yourself to others you maybe less or more than what you expect”. I just work to the best I can and feel the contentment of the things I have achieved. I don’t want to be compared to other teacher or administrator because I feel that I am unique and we have individual potentials bestowed by God .
This era, data are being gathered and compared like the test results, nutritional status , grades, salaries and for many other activities. I am now beginning to understand the significance of comparative studies to analyze that our work is unique and by comparing the result to our previous work would create challenge in us to improve our work and at the same time if we compare it to others, we feel challenged to strive for better result that would influence others thereby contaminating others to strive for more improvement/ development of themselves and for the society as whole. Through this, I will be able to recognize the strength and weaknesses. With this, weaknesses could be given attention/ focus to address to get the desired result. One would find that what is happening in our home, society and nation is better to stimulate for more researches and solutions that would improve the living condition of our country to have practical reform and better school system. And a desirable attitudes for the benefits of all people.
As I enroll this subject I begun to understand the significance of comparing for the improvement and better result like education in the Philippines. There is a need to compare the educational system from one country to another to have better insights and for the improvement of the daily tasks. Also to review the system to measure effectiveness and for better implementation in order to open for all new opportunities for the school to address the need of society. It is in comparing that we can see the difference and to embrace it positively that would give much effort for the development and improvement to have better school, community and society as a whole.
