The Department of Education (DepEd) has introduced the latest enhancement of the K to 12 Basic Education Curriculum, designed to further strengthen foundational learning and ensure quality, relevant, and inclusive education for Filipino learners. For Grades 1 to 6, the enhanced curriculum focuses on mastery of essential competencies, development of 21st-century skills, and the integration of values and life skills needed for lifelong learning.
This revision aligns learning content with global standards while addressing local contexts and learner diversity. It promotes a more streamlined, focused, and age-appropriate set of learning competencies across subject areas. Emphasis is placed on literacy, numeracy, critical thinking, and character development—ensuring learners are well-equipped for the challenges of the modern world.
The enhanced K to 12 curriculum is the result of evidence-based reviews, stakeholder consultations, and field studies, reaffirming DepEd’s commitment to continually improve the quality of basic education in the Philippines.
