K-12 Curriculum is DepEd's curriculum framework for Philippine basic education, set up under RA 10533 (2013).
Structure:
- Kindergarten (1 year)
- Elementary (Grades 1–6)
- Junior High School (Grades 7–10)
- Senior High School (Grades 11–12)
Recent changes:
- The MATATAG curriculum is being rolled out for Kindergarten to Grade 10 in phases, starting SY 2024–2025
- The Strengthened SHS Curriculum is being fully implemented from SY 2026–2027, replacing the old SHS strands with two tracks — Academic and Technical-Professional (TechPro)
What it means for you (parents and students):
- Ask your school which curriculum applies to your grade level this school year
- SHS choices affect which college courses fit best; check your target colleges' admission rules
