Curriculum
K to 12 in Iloilo Science and Technology University Laboratory School
Talking about
curriculum, Philippine uses different curriculum with Indonesia, the country
where I live in. In Indonesia, schools are using curriculum 2013. Meanwhile in
Philippine, they are using curriculum K to 12.
Based on
the information that I got, the curriculum K to 12 covers Kindergarten and 12
years of education system. The 12 years of education system stands for six
years of primary education, four years of Junior High School, and two years of
Senior High School.
In curriculum
K to 12, students of grade 1-10 are taught with subjects:
·
Mother Tongue
·
Filipino
·
English
·
Mathematics
·
Science
·
Araling Panlipunan
·
Edukasyon sa Pagpapakatao
·
Music
·
Arts
·
Physical Education
·
Health
·
Edukasyon Pantahanan at Pangkabuhayan
·
Technology and Livelihood Education
Meanwhile grade 11 and 12, students may choose a specialization based on
aptitude, interests, and school capacity. Students of grade 11 and 12
can choose among three tracks; Academic; Technical-Vocational-Livelihood; and
Sports and Arts. In choosing their specialization, they will have some
assessments to determine their strength and interest.
In Iloilo Science and
Technology University Laboratory School, they also use curriculum K to 12, but
is not following the whole system of curriculum K to 12. ISAT U Laboratory
School is a public school, but it is under a university. Hence, this school can
change or differentiate its system with curriculum K to 12. The laboratory
school can change its own subjects and the other systems, but for grading
system, they are still following curriculum K to 12.
This is one example of ISAT U laboratory school using curriculum K to 12. We can see it from the cover of the text book that grade 8 students use for studying English. |
