What is K plus 12 of DepEd?

"K plus 12" aims to make basic education sufficient enough so that anyone who graduates can be gainfully employed and have a productive life. "K plus 12" will look at the possibility of specialized education such as a high school or community, which will focus on the arts or agriculture.
The K-12 Education plan is said to add one more year on both primary and secondary levels plus kindergarten. Though the opinion and reaction of the public are divided, some are in favor and some are not. Amongthe main issues that relates to the K-12 program are the financial capacity of parents, the number of schools and classrooms, the number of teachers, and even the availability of books and other school supplies.
Though, DepEd (The Departmentof Education) also stated that the government will basically shoulder most of the education costs.
Opinion
"On the Lighter Side"
If the K-12 Education Plan becomes successful, then the Philippine education system can become more competitive among othercountries around the world. Though there are still some problems that the government needs to solve before they can successfully implement the plan.The proposed program is good but it still won't work if the needed elements to make it work isn't present.
Such elements includes the addressed problems mentioned above, especially the number ofpublic school classrooms plus the adequate supply of classroom chairs, books, etc. If the government could allot a bigger budget to educational needs, then we could be one-step ahead towards the success of the K-12 program.
Furthermore, parents (especiallythose who belongs in the poor sector) should be properly informed and motivated of the advantages of the K-12 Education Plan. This is very important since parents plays a major role in providing the child's school allowances, supplies, and fees for other school projects and activities. Add to that the support of parents towards their children in terms of guidance and teaching.
Once this succeeds, it is best hoped that Filipino students would be more literate, skilled, and competitive to be able to find jobs more easily and contribute to the country's pride as well as the country's economy.
