PRO k TO 12
Jay Sam Sagansay
"k-12 for me, is an advantageous program of our government. let us not directly judge or under-estimate it. who knows? this program might be successful and would bring progress to our beloved country :)" ..
Chrydzyl Taculod
"this program sounds really interesting. i mean, yes it's true that there is a two year addition but this two years does not mean sacrifice but an additional years worth of knowledge".
Maricar Romano
"i bet this newly implemented program is something we need to be grateful of. well, just look into the bright side that you can already apply for a high quality job even just after graduating from high school".
Jahara Reyes
"i do believe that once this program succeeded, this would reduce illiteracy rate and improve the economy of the Philippines. the program, in-partnership with TESDA will provide student's technical vocational skill that could help them get jobs, even just after high school graduation".
Marimar Romano
"this program sure is a big help to those people who suffers from poverty and as well as illiteracy. i mean, could you just imagine the goodness of this program ? this will open a lot of opportunities".
k-to 12 CONS

First of all, parents have to shell out more money (for transportation and food) for the education of their children and besides, the government does not have the money to pay for two more years of free education, since it does not even have the money to fully support today’s ten years. DepEd must first solve the lack of classrooms, furniture and equipment, qualified teachers, and error-free textbooks.
Ryan Melodia
We can do in ten years what everyone else in the world takes 12 years to do. Why do we have to follow what the rest of the world is doing? We are better than all of them. Filipinos right now are accepted in prestigious graduate schools in the world, even with only ten years of basic education. As far as the curriculum is concerned, DepEd should fix the current subjects instead of adding new ones. The problem is the content, not the length, of basic education. As an editorial put it, we need to have better education, not more education.

A high school diploma will not get anybody anywhere, because business firms will not hire fresh high school graduates. Every family dreams of having a child graduate from college.
While students are stuck in Grades 11 and 12, colleges and universities will have no freshmen for two years. This will spell financial disaster for many private Higher Education Institutions (HEIs). The drop-out rate will increase because of the two extra years.
