curriculum. The K to 12 Program covers Kindergarten and 12 years of basic education (six years
of primary education, four years of Junior High School, and two years of Senior High School

enhanced secondary education program. To facilitate the transition from the existing 10-year
basic education to 12 years, DepEd is also implementing the SHS and SHS Modeling.

may correlate with better health. On the other hand, less rate is the 0-2 years old group who have
no education or not attending school because of young age and 3-9 years old group who have no
education or not attending school because of the different reasons.

Education in the Philippines is managed and regulated by the Department of Education (DepEd),
Commission on Higher Education (CHED) and Technical Education and Skills Development
Authority (TESDA). DepEd is responsible for the K-12 basic education; it exercises full and
exclusive control over public schools and nominal regulation over private schools, and it also
enforces the national curriculum that has been put in place since 2013. CHED and TESDA, on
the other hand, are responsible for higher education; CHED regulates the academically-oriented
universities and colleges while TESDA oversees the development of technical and vocational
education institutions and programs in the country.
From 1945 to 2011, basic education took ten years to complete--six years of elementary
education and four years of high school education for children aged six up to fifteen. However,
after the implementation of the K-12 Program of DepEd and subsequent ratification of
Kindergarten Education Act of 2012 and Enhanced Basic Education Act of 2013, the basic
education today takes thirteen years to complete--one year of kindergarten, six years of
elementary education, four years of junior high school and two years of senior high school for
children aged five up to seventeen. As of 2016, the implementation of Grade 11 has started.
