THE PROBLEM AND ITS SCOPE

INTRODUCTION

The K to 12 Program offers a comprehensive 12-year basic education, focusing on

mastery of concepts, skill development, lifelong learning, and preparing graduates for tertiary

education and entrepreneurship

During the teaching and learning process it is very important to focus not just only on

theories but also in practical experience. The Bachelor of Technology and Livelihood Education

focuses on students' skills rather than their existing knowledge, providing them with meaningful

experiences that are relevant to their development.

Hands-on activities enhance students' cognitive understanding and social skills by

fostering teamwork, diplomatic problem-solving, delegation, and teamwork, thereby improving

their understanding of subject material. Therefore producing a globally competitive students

equipped with knowledge, skills, experience, and values introduction.
