Education chief defends simplified K to 12

Education Secretary Sonny Angara on Monday defended the Department of Education’s move to simplify the K to 12 program rather than abolish it, saying the revised curriculum is now being piloted in 900 schools nationwide.

He was responding to a teacher’s question during an information conference at Don Gerardo LL Ouano Memorial National High School in Mandaue City, where he also visited classrooms and facilities with local officials.

Angara said the new curriculum reduces the 33 subjects previously required in senior high school to just five core areas: life skills, reading, communications, mathematics, and science.
