DepEd to consider Kto12 graduates to work in the Government

Education Secretary Leonor Briones on Tuesday during the department’s budget presentation before the House Committee on Appropriations revealed about the possibility of hiring k to12 graduates to government positions.

Accordingly, the Department of Education (DepEd)  is communicating with the Civil Service Commission with regards to this.

“We are now negotiating and discussing with the CSC na i-allow ang graduates ng senior high school, which is equivalent to two years of college, to be admitted in government because they already know this architecture, economics, mathematics.”

“They can do many tasks in government,” Briones said to lawmakers.

“Sa vocational naman they are not yet graduates, but they can start working… but we have to validate all these,” she added.

The K to 12 Program covers Kindergarten and 12 years of basic education (six years of primary education, four years of Junior High School, and two years of Senior High School [SHS]) to provide sufficient time for mastery of concepts and skills, develop lifelong learners, and prepare graduates for tertiary education, middle-level skills development, employment, and entrepreneurship.

The two additional years (Senior High School) will equip learners with skills that will better prepare them for the future, whether it be:

• Employment
• Entrepreneurship
• Skills Development (Further Tech-Voc training)
• Higher Education (College)
