Senior Deputy Speaker Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo is proposing the conversion of the current K-12 basic education curriculum into what she called the “K+10+2” program. CDNDigital
The former president, who is now Pampanga representative, said she had filed a bill pushing for this shift, during Wednesday’s joint hearing of the House committees on basic education and culture, and on higher and technical education. The panels were then fine-tuning House Bill No. 7505, or the proposed Act Strengthening the Technical, Vocational and Livelihood Curriculum for the Senior High School.
“The last two years will not be voc-tech. They will be similar to the foundational college courses in Europe where they are preparatory to university education,” the House leader explained. The lawmaker asked the two committees of the House to defer deliberations on HB 7505 until her “closely related” bill could be referred to the same panels for scrutiny.
Acting as committee chairs, Baguio Rep. Mark Go and Pasig City Rep. Roman Romulo granted Arroyo’s motion to defer.
