00:00 The new curriculum for grades 1 to 10 will be implemented.
00:05 Under this, not only will the number of students be reduced,
00:09 but they will also be strengthened in their skills.
00:13 Kenneth Paciente reports.
00:15 In the current curriculum,
00:20 seven more asignatures will be taught from grades 1 to 3.
00:24 That is why Mary, who is an incoming grade 1 student,
00:27 is very happy with the solid curriculum launched by DepEd,
00:30 where only five subjects will be taught
00:32 in the so-called "white" hours that will be implemented.
00:35 For the students, it will not be difficult.
00:38 For them, it will not be seven subjects a day.
00:41 It's okay to have five subjects.
00:43 Because it's not too much for the students
00:47 if it's seven subjects, right?
00:48 Because they only have half a day to go to school.
00:52 A lawmaker also sees that the revised K-10 curriculum
00:56 will be implemented in the future.
00:58 Compared to the current curriculum,
01:00 the load of students has been reduced.
01:02 This is the answer.
01:04 This is what they are doing to address the problems
01:08 identified by the education stakeholders
01:10 in our assessment exams.
01:12 The problems in our education system.
01:15 Reading comprehension and the possession of basic mathematical skills.
01:21 In this new curriculum,
01:23 in this new competencies, they will really focus on that.
01:27 For our youth, it's a waste if the Filipino is smart and good
01:31 if our education system will not give them the preparation
01:36 to be job ready or college ready.
01:39 For the Senate Committee on Basic Education Chairperson
01:42 Senator Winga Challan,
01:44 the curriculum will be given to teach the children
01:47 to strengthen their foundational skills.
01:50 The children will learn more about reading, writing, and counting
01:55 that they need before they move on to the next grades.
01:59 Although the new curriculum has a good purpose,
02:02 the Teachers' Dignity Coalition hopes that it will be implemented properly
02:06 to achieve its target.
02:08 The group has yet to say the direct effect of this on the work load of the teachers.
02:14 We look forward to the positive effect, especially on our teachers.
02:19 Meanwhile, the mother tongue is not included in the new curriculum
02:23 as an assignature, but it will remain as a medium of instruction.
02:27 The mother tongue as a subject has caused some confusion
02:31 to the teachers in the field, especially in the Luzon area.
02:35 Because there is a Filipino subject and there is a mother tongue subject.
02:40 To remove that confusion,
02:43 that is one of the reasons why the mother tongue was removed.
02:48 Currently, there are 8,000 learning competencies removed from the curriculum,
02:52 or 70%.
02:54 There are competencies that are only nice to know, but not a must to know.
02:59 That's why we aim for essential learning competencies.
03:02 What are essential learning competencies in layman's language?
03:07 This is what the children will bring, even if they have finished studying in one class,
03:13 they will bring it to the next class.
03:15 The DEPEDS is now consulting the publishers
03:19 for the printing of new learning materials that are included in the new curriculum.
03:24 Kenneth Paciente, for the nation.
