Preliminary
Overview
Education for children in the
early years lays the foundation
for lifelong learning and for the
total development of a child.
The early years of a human
being, from 0 to 6 years, are
the most critical period when
the brain grows to at least 6070 percent of adult size.

The
K
to
12
Program
coversKindergarten and 12 years of
basic education (six years of primary
education, four years of Junior High
School, and two years of Senior High
School [SHS])to provide sufficient
time for mastery of concepts and
skills, develop lifelong learners, and
prepare
graduates
for
tertiary
education,
middle-level
skills
development,
employment,
and
entrepreneurship.

Conclusion
It is understood that it will take time before the K+12
program will run smoothly and for its promised benefits
to be felt in its entirety. At least one generation of
parents may never get over the idea that the additional
years of schooling (and thus expenses) happened during
their lifetime. Private companies may take a while
before they fully trust the skills of a grade 12 graduate.
It may take a few generations to completely pay back
everything that government will loan just to implement
this program. But it is clear that this is the right thing to
do now because its expected value far outweighs its
expected costs.
