MANILA, Philippines — The Department of Education (DepEd) will adopt a phased implementation of the revised Grade 1 to 10 curriculum, with the pilot implementation set in select schools starting this year.
Vice President and Education Secretary Sara Duterte led the launching of what the DepEd called the “MATATAG K-10 curriculum of the K-12 program” in Pasay City yesterday.
Among its key features is the “decongestion” of the learning competencies, including the reduction of subjects from Kinder to Grade 3 to focus on foundational skills such as oracy and numeracy.
It will also intensify values education and strengthen peace education, which will be integrated in different subjects.
