EVERYBODY HAS HEARD of the K+12 or the K-to-12 law that President Benigno S. Aquino III signed in May this year. But while everyone seems to like talking about the law and the controversy it has generated, it would be good to know just how much we really understand of the K+12 program.
Here’s today’s Data a Day:
On May15, 2013, President Aquino signed into law RA 10533 or the Enhanced Basic Education Act of 2013. This law mandates what?
1. One year preparatory education, 6 years of elementary, 6 years secondary
2. One year preparatory, 7 years elementary, 5 years secondary
3. Two years preparatory, 6 years elementary, 5 years secondary
Just to simplify, is K+12 equal to 1+6+6, 1+7+5, or 2+6+5?
