senior high school law

1. Module 2: Examining Destinations 1

2. What is Senior High School? Senior High School (SHS) refers to the last two years of the K to 12 Program, and includes Grades 11 and 12 . In SHS, students will go through a core curriculum and subjects under a track of their choice . 2

3. Yes. These two additional years will equip learners with skills that will better prepare them for the future, whether it be: • Employment • Entrepreneurship • Skills Development (Further Tech-Voc training) • Higher Education (College) 3 Will SHS mean two more years of High School?

4. Is SHS really neccessary? YES , because the law now prescribes that SHS is a part of compulsory basic education. Once SHS is fully implemented in SY 2016-17, you will need to go through it in order to graduate High School. 4

5. Technically, it’s your choice. But you won’t get a High School diploma . You will be called a Grade 10 completer , but you will miss out on the benefits of a full High School graduate. 5 What if I do not want to go to SHS?

6. SHS has been developed to lead you to one of four career pathways or exits – almost like doors for which SHS is the key: Employment Entrepreneurship Higher Education Middle Skills Development 6 What are the benefits of SHS?

7. Employment 7 Learners are more prepared for work For technical and vocational careers, you will already be able to apply for TESDA Certificates. For most choices, private company partners are ready to take you on for immersion ( work and gain experience while studying ), training and hiring.

8. Entrepreneurship 8 You will be equipped with the skills to either start your own business , or continue running your family business.

9. Higher Education 9 Some College and University core subjects have now been integrated into SHS , which means less repetition . If you do go to college, the subjects you take on will be more focused and more relevant to your chosen course .

10. Middle Skills Development 10 This benefit applies to Technical and Vocational careers. While at SHS, you will already learn specialized skills . Continuing education at other Tech-Voc institutions means being able to get to more advanced subjects faster.

11. Will the additional two years of High School mean additional expenses? 11 NOT NECESSARILY . SHS “completes” basic education by making sure that the high school graduate is equipped for work, entrepreneurship, or higher education. This is a step up from the 10-year cycle where high school graduates still need further education (and expenses) to be ready for the world.

12. 12 SHS will be offered free in public schools and there will be a voucher program in place for public junior high school completers as well as ESC beneficiaries of private high schools should they choose to take SHS in private institutions. This means that the burden of expenses for the additional two years need not be completely shouldered by parents. Additional expenses?

13. What is Voucher Program? 13 It provides subsidies to students who wish to enroll in a private or non- DepEd Senior High School. All Grade 10 completers from public schools and all Grade 10 completers in private high schools who are Education Service Contracting (ESC) grantees automatically get one . Private high school Grade 10 completers who are not ESC grantees can apply for one as well.

14. Will I need a Voucher if I enroll in a public SHS? 14 NO, you will not need a voucher subsidy because public high schools do not have tuition fees.

15. How much will my Voucher be worth? 15 It varies depending on what type of high school student you are and where the SHS you plan to enroll at is located. Public Grade 10 Students get 100% of the voucher value. Private Grade 10 Students who are ESC grantees get 80% of the Voucher value.

16. My Voucher’s worth? Regardless if you’re a Grade 10 completer from a public or private Junior High School, if you enroll in a local or state college or university, you get 50% of the voucher value. Your teacher or Guidance Counselor can help you compute your exact voucher value. The table on the next page may also guide you. 16

18. 18 What are the four tracks?

19. 19 Academic Track The Academic Track is divided into four (4) strands: Accountancy, Business and Management (ABM) Strand It is for those who plan to take up business-related courses in higher education or engage in business, entrepreneurship, and other business-related careers. 2. Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) Strand For students who are inclined towards or have the aptitude for Math or Science or Engineering studies.

20. 20 Academic Track The Academic Track is divided into four (4) strands: 3. Humanities and Social Sciences (HUMSS) Strand For students who intend to pursue these fields of study at the university level. 4. General Academic (GA) Strand This strand is ideal for SHS students who have not yet decided on a particular specialization. It will offer subjects selected from the different academic strands.

21. 21 Technical Vocational Livelihood The TechVoc Track is divided into four (4) strands: 1) Agri -Fishery Arts 2) Home Economics (HE) 3) Information and Communications Technology (ICT) 4) Industrial Arts.

22. Technical Vocational Livelihood These are aligned with the Technology and Livelihood Education (TLE) Learning Area in Grades 7 to 10. Each TVL strand offers various specializations that may or may not have a National Certificate (NC) equivalent from the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA). 22

23. 23 Technical Vocational Livelihood The time allocation per TVL specialization is aligned with the TESDA Training Regulations-Based Courses and is in multiples of 80 hours following the conventions for SHS subjects. Therefore, each TVL specialization is designed to fit into the 80-hour blocks of time. TLE and TVL specializations may be taken between Grades 9 to 12. Schools may offer specializations from the four strands as long as the prescribed number of hours for each specialization is met. Curriculum Maps may then be modified according to specializations offered by a school .

24. 24 Arts and Designs Track The Arts and Design Track covers a wide range of art forms: Theater Music Dance Creative Writing Visual Arts Media Arts This Track is for students who have an aptitude for the arts and its forms.

25. 25 Sports Track The Sports Track is for students who are interested in sports-related careers like: athlete development fitness training coaching officiating
