THE Department of Education (DepEd) has launched a new 'decongested' curriculum that will focus on key competencies and foundational skills for learners from Kinder to Grade 10.
Called the Matatag K-10 , the revised basic education curriculum will focus on literacy and numeracy skills, reduce the number of learning competencies, balance cognitive demands, which will focus on higher-level thinking skills, clearer articulation of 21st century skills, intensify values education, strengthen peace education, and make it at par with international standards.Education officials led by Vice President Sara Duterte during the launch of the new curriculum.
DepEd Bureau of Curriculum Development director Jocelyn Andaya said at a press briefing on Thursday that '70 percent of the current curriculum had been taken out of the new curriculum simply because there are competencies that repeat; there are competencies that are only 'nice to know,' but are not a 'must to know,' that is why we are aiming for essential learning competencies.
