The document discusses the K-12 education program implemented in the Philippines. It aims to enhance the quality of basic education by adding two more years of senior high school. This is intended to better prepare students for employment or college. It will allow students more time to study lessons and acquire certifications and skills that will make them more employable and competitive globally. However, implementing the program also presents challenges like increased costs for parents and the education system. Overall, it is believed the benefits of a better educated workforce will outweigh the short term sacrifices needed to transition to the new K-12 program.
