Ang DepEd Senior High School (SHS) program (Grades 11â12) ay last stage ng K to 12. Simula SY 2025â2026, unti-unti nang lilipat ang DepEd sa Strengthened SHS Curriculum para mas maging flexible ang pagpili ng subjects at mas handa ang students sa college o trabaho.
Ano ang mga major changes?
1) Mas simple na ang âtracksâ
From 4 tracks dati, magiging 2 main pathways na lang:
Academic Track
⢠May clusters na: Business, STEM, Humanities
⢠Kasama na rin dito ang dating separate na Arts & Design at Sports bilang electives
Technical-Professional (TechPro) Track
⢠Papalit sa dating TVL
⢠Mas focus sa industry skills tulad ng ICT, Agriculture, Industrial Arts
2) Bawas core subjects
Para hindi masyadong mabigat ang load, ang required core subjects ay bababa mula 15 to 5 na lang (mas focused). Examples: General Math, General Science, Effective Communication.
3) Mas maraming electives, mas flexible
Hindi na masyadong âlocked-inâ sa isang strand. Pwede nang pumili ng electives mula sa ibaât ibang clusters depende sa interest at goal mo.
4) Mas mahaba ang work immersion
Mas maraming real-world training:
⢠Dati: 80â320 hours
⢠Ngayon: 320â640 hours
Goal: mas ready ka sa actual workplace experience.
5) Apat na âexitsâ after SHS
Pag graduate, mas naka-prepare ka sa alinman sa:
⢠Higher Education (college)
⢠Employment (work)
⢠Entrepreneurship (business)
⢠Middle-Level Skills Development (skills training/NCs)
Financial support at options
SHS Voucher Program
⢠Tulong pinansyal para sa Grade 10 completers na mag-enroll sa private SHS o sa SUCs/LUCs.
Alternative Delivery (Open High School Program / OHSP)
⢠Para sa hindi kaya ng regular class setup, may distance learning option.
Pilot implementation
Sa ngayon, pinapilot muna sa 800 schools nationwide bago full implementation sa SY 2026â2027.
