Students, teachers oppose 2 more years of basic education
MANILA, Philippines - Two legislators are urging the Department of Education (DepEd) to rethink its proposal to add 2 years to basic education as it may only lead to more children out of school.
House Deputy Speaker Maria Isabelle Climaco and Maguindanao Rep. Simeon Datumanong issued their call after consulting high school teachers and students in Zamboanga City last Friday (August 13).
In a statement, Climaco said majority of students and teachers they consulted opposed the additional 2 years "due to added expenses" for the family.
Teachers said the government should instead address the lack of teachers and poor infrastructure rather than add 2 years to basic elementary and high school education.
"Overcrowded classrooms lead to poor learning. As a teacher, I call on DepEd to seriously study the proposal. I further recommend intensified teacher training to equip our educators,” said Climaco.
Climaco graduated from Ateneo de Zamboanga University with a degree in secondary
education.
Climaco said the consultations were done in 2 schools--the Regional Science High School and Zamboanga City High School.
Some teachers, however, favored the government's plan to add 2 years to basic education, she said.
Datumanong warned the proposal "may result to more youth out of school."
The DepEd believes adding 2 more years to basic education would allow more students to finish high school, making them more employable.
The Aquino government said adding 2 more years is also in line with the length of basic education in other countries.

Sa mga magulang na pumapasok
Sa mga magulang na pumapasok sa public schools ang mga anak: papayag ba kayo na ang mga anak nyo eh magtagal pa ng dalawang taon sa eskwelahang bulok ang mga kagamitan, kulang sa pasilidad, tadtad ng mali ang mga librong pinapagamit at masusungit ang mga gurong nagtuturo dahil kulang ang sweldo?
12 years of basic education
Adding 1 year to primary/elemenatry education then adding another year to secondary education is a waste. First and foremost, our basic education first must be improved. Retain 6 years of primary/elementary education, retain 4 years of secondary education. Then add optional years 11 & 12 as preparation for tertiary education (university or technical college). Qualification to take up years 11 and 12, will be based on the student's results on their performance in years 9 and 10 (or 3rd and 4th year high school). Qualification to take up tertiary education will be based on the student's results in years 11 and 12. This is how the education system works in other countries, according to what I have read.
ano?
Santisimong DEPED di na kailanagan ng karagdagang dalawang taong parusa sa mga magaaral at mga magulang na kuba na! at dugo na ang lumalabas at din a pawis sa kaka kayod mapag aral lang ang kanilang mga sutil na anak! Ginagaya kasi ni kalihim sa satanisata! este lasalista at mga atinista na pitong taong ang elementarya! Hehehe dapat dito binabatukan ng matauhan! Hehehe!
Ang kailanagan ng mga mag aaral ay mga karagdagang silid aralan maayos na pasilidad, dagdag na mga eskelahan at gusali! Pg tutuok at paglalagay ng mga ( ano ba sa tagalong ng computer? Bobo ka karuwa! ) un nga computer! Pagsasanay ng mga guro para dagdag kaalaman sa pag tuturo! Itaas ang antas ng kalidad ng pag tuturo tulad sa atoing mga karatig bansa sa asya at America o ibang planeta! Hehehe! Kamote!
Higit sa lahat pigilan ang kurap ( din g mata! ) o kurapsyon sa DEPED ibigay ang nararapat sa mga guro at namamahala! Malaking bagay dito ang local na pamahalaan dahil kaya nilang mag tustus ng mga bagong gusali at libreng gamit sa eskwelahan! Tulad ng papel, lapis, bag at uniporme! Pag tiisan na lamang ng mga magaaral ang mga naka imprentang mukha ng mga pulitko sa kwaderno at iba pang gamit hehehe!Punyetang mga pulitko talaga sarap itaga!
At sa DEPED sarap pag sasampalin ng kaliwat kanan ng matauhan! Di dapat yang dadag na dalawang taon ang inyong pinagtutuunan hehehe! Dapat yung kalidad ng edukasyon sa pilipinas na minamalas! Dahil sa walang habas sa pag waldas sa pera ng taong bayan! Kaya yan kung kakayanin di yungpuro gulpi de gulat lang at puro umpisa hehehe diba NONOY kamote ! puro pa pogi lang sa kamera at puro alagad lang ang nag sasalita at nag mamando hehehe kumaway ka naman!

2 MORE YEARS OF SCHOOL A WASTE
Since I went to school in 1950, we never had 2 extra years. 2 more years of school are added expenses to families who hardly have food on the table. The DEPED should reconsider this wasteful idea. Some schools' classrooms are overcrowded already. Some schools even lack enough classrooms. Instead, the DEPED should focus on improving these facilities and the quality of teachers.
meet the standard
if at the completion of their studies, students want to go and work overseas in well developed countries, they may be asked to do extra studies to catch up, if their studies here in the philippines are found to be below the required standard.
better do more studies now while students are still young, able and eager, not when they're older and not up to it.
quality not quantity, but to meet the quality, you must put in the quantity.
k+12=better education?
12-year system: ~13320 total hours (8:00AM - 2:30PM w/ 1 hr lunch/recess)
10-year system: ~16000 total hours (7:00AM - 4:30PM w/ 1.5 hr lunch/recess)
Time is NOT the issue. What we do with the time and how well we do it to meet "internationa...l" standards is what we should focus on. Unless we want to adapt the 12-year system (take note 8AM to 2:30PM) which implies more changes like if both parents work, 8AM is too late for them to be going to work if they have to drop of kids or 2:30 is too early and kids need "after-school" like in the US or have nothing to do at home without parental supervision.
