MSEditorial After 10 years, K-12 doesn’t look A-1 If we’re to believe the World Bank, Philippine education is in serious crisis.
That’s because one in every four Grade 5 students does not have the reading and mathematics skills for Grade 2 or 3, and four in every five 15-year-old students do not understand basic mathematical concepts such as fractions and decimals that should be mastered by fifth graders.
We then joined the Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study in 2019 after a break of 16 years to gauge proficiency in math and science in our fourth and eight grades.And we linked up with the first cycle of the Southeast Asia Primary Learning Metrics also in 2019 to evaluate reading, writing, and mathematical literacy of our Grade 5 pupils.
The country was last in reading and second to last in science and mathematics among 79 countries in the first assessment. That’s a damning assessment of our basic education program that’s enough to make our previous education officials hang their heads in shame for gross and inexcusable incompetence.The Department of Education is expected to present a revised Kinder to Grade 12 curriculum to Malacañang by the end of this month to beat a July deadline earlier set by the Palace.
