Journey Towards Basic Education Curricular Reforms: 1946-2011

     "We draw an important distinction between assessing and evaluating. Assessing is gathering evidence of content knowledge and skills; evaluating is the case-by-case value judgement of the quality of performance". In this lesson I have learned that basic education is very important especially to those students who are on the preschool stage. Teachers are the one who will elaborate to the children how a basic education is to be taught. Back then the students will encounter the basic education for 10 (ten) years but now we have a new curriculum, the K-12 curriculum and they added 2 years on the basic education; which means that the basic education now 12 years in total.

         I realized that, basic education is important for the students, especially now that we have a new curriculum. DepEd is doing their best just to give a good education in this county. Though there are a lot of changes in the names of education but the value itself is just one.

           As a future teacher we must be aware on the educational system here in our country because we are in this profession to serve the Filipino people and to be a good citizen in this country. Basic education is the most important part of education and we must ensure that our children and students will undergo in this stage for them to have a better future.
