The Department of Education (DepEd) recently announced two major changes impacting students and schools across the Philippines: a revised Senior High School curriculum pilot run and a gradual return to the pre-pandemic school calendar.
Shaping Tomorrow's Workforce
Starting in School Year (SY) 2025-2026, select schools will participate in a pilot program testing a revamped SHS curriculum. This revision aims to equip graduates with more job-ready skills and ensure their smooth transition into the workforce. The current curriculum is under review, with a completion date targeted for May 2024. This aligns with the ongoing "Matatag" curriculum pilot for grades Kindergarten to 10, focusing on foundational skills like literacy and numeracy.
A Breath of Fresh Air: Returning to Familiar Rhythm
The upcoming SY 2024-2025 will welcome a familiar friend: the pre-pandemic school calendar. Schools will start on July 29, 2024, and end on May 16, 2025, with a longer summer break from June 1 to July 26. This shift aims to ease the adjustment and provide a sense of normalcy after the pandemic disruptions.
Key Takeaways
- SHS curriculum gets a pilot makeover in SY 2025-2026.
- Emphasis on job-ready skills for graduates.
- "Matatag" curriculum paves the way for K-10 revisions.
- Pre-pandemic school calendar returns in SY 2024-2025.
- Longer summer break from June 1 to July 26, 2024.
