Principal
Frequently Asked Questions
(FAQs)
1 Why are we now implementing
12 years of basic education?
*The Philippines is the last country in Asia and one of only three
countries worldwide with a 10 year pre-university cycle (Angola and
Djibouti are the two).

*A 12-year program is found to be the best period for learning under

basic education. It is also the recognized standard for students and
professionals globally.

What is Senior High School? 2

*Senior High School (SHS) covers 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 the track of their choice.
3 Will SHS mean two more years of High School?

*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 and Higher Education .

How will the college and technical-vocational courses

be adjusted due to the K to 12 curriculum? Will adjustments
be made in time for the first graduates of K to 12?
4
*TESDA will download some of its basic technical
competencies while CHED will transfer some general
education subjects to basic education.
*CHED will be releasing its college readiness
standard which will be the basis for the competencies
in Grades 11 and 12.
 5 Will SHS ensure employment for my child?

*SHS creates the following opportunities:

1. Application of required standards to assure graduates' readiness and
competence for employment and/or entrepreneurship
2. Graduates will receive TESDA Certification (COC or NC) for better work
opportunities
3. Partnership with different companies will be offered for all tracks as part
of the students' on-the-job training
4. Entrepreneurship courses will now be included. Instead of being
employed, students may now start their own business after graduating,
or may pursue higher education in college.

*This ensures that by the time

your child graduates from SHS,
How will SHS affect my child's
college education? 6
he/she will have the standard, skills
and competencies needed
to go to college.
7 How will students choose their
Senior High School specializations?

*Students will undergo assessments to determine their

strengths and interests. These will include aptitude test,
career assessment exam, and occupational interest
inventory for high schools. Career advocay activities are
also conducted to help guide students in choosing their
specialization or track.

Is SHS really necessary?

Must my child go to SHS? 8
*Yes. According to the law, beginning 2016-2017, the Grade
10 or junior high school completers must enrol to Grade 11
and the full implementation of this K to 12 program is on
2017-2018. This is when the first graduates of K to 12 will
commence.
9 If I choose not to send my child to SHS,
what will happen to him/her?

*He/She will only be a Grade 10 completer, but not a high

school graduate. In K to 12 Curriculum, an elementary
graduate must finish the 6th grade while high school
completers must undergo six years in secondary education,
which means Grade 7 to Grade 12.

Where can I find more about

Senior High School? 10
*Visit the Official Website of Department of Education, or
consult the Administrator/Principal of the school where your
child is currently enrolled for assistance, guidance and
suggestions.
 Will Imus Institute open
11 Senior High School in 2016-2017?
*Yes. We have already completed the requirements set by the
Department of Education and have granted a Provisional Permit
last March 31, 2015 to operate Senior High School in 2016.

Since Imus Institute, Inc. is a Certified TESDA Training and

Testing Center and PACUCOA Level 3 Accredited Institution, we
are geared to continuously provide quality and relevant
instruction and training.

We are also ensuring that Junior High School (or Grade 10)
completers who are ESC beneficiaries will still benefit the
Voucher Program of the government amounting to
Php18,000.00*** each student per grade level in Senior High
School.
