Abstract:
The Philippine Constitution mandates basic education for its citizens and has acknowledged the international framework for the quality of education set forth in the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG: Goal 4). However, the Philippines is the last country in Asia to implement twelve years of compulsory education . In 2012, the Philippines launched its “K to 12” Program, a reform that added 2 years to their previous 10-year pre-University Cycle.
The Department of Education has opted for gradual implementation of K to 12 with the first group of high school students graduating all twelve grades in March 2018 . Critics have pointed out that the program does not address the central problems of the educational system and could in fact have a negative effect on the quality of education provided by teachers, low-income students’ ability to pay for higher education, and on enrollment in higher education institutions . With Philippines being the 13th most populated country in the world, there is an increase of population within the range of 11th and 12th grade students every year.
To evaluate the effects of this reform education for students, this study will explore how the design of the K to 12 reform in high schools in the Philippines have affected population growth in cities and attendance in schools and therefore, affected the quality of education for students in Senior High.
