Core Curriculum and Career Paths
PremisesPremises
Filipino learners, in order to be globally
competitive, need to develop 21st
century core
skills( digital age literacy, inventive thinking,
effective communication, and high productivity)
and be functionally literate.
Aside from the development of 21st
century core
skills, the extended high school program should
be packaged for the preparation of students for
career and higher education. This is because
secondary education is designed primarily to
provide the transition from school to work and
from school to further learning.
PremisesPremises
The curriculum shall be designed to
provide a blended career and college
preparatory program. Putting the two on
the same level and blending them will
enhance the seamless relationship
between career and higher education and
give them equal social and economic
value.
