INTRODUCTION

The Philippines is the only country in the ASEAN region that still has only ten years of basic education for its students. In fact, aside from a few African countries, we are the only country in the world that maintains that ten years is sufficient for basic education.

SUMMARY

Education is the pathway for the poor to have an opportunity for a life of human dignity. It is for them and the future generations of Filipinos that we need to go forward and not take backward steps again. The K-12 program will allow us to catch up with the rest of the world and we need to do that now.
