K to 12 has outstanding features that must be known to the public.  To be able to fully appreciate its full worth, we have to tackle its brilliant features:

Strengthening early childhood education

A universal kindergarten must be implemented in order for the young learners with the age of 5 years should have their strong foundation in the pre-elementary education.  It will be the means for them to adjust before they enter the elementary level.  In other words, they should be prepared for primary education.

Building proficiency through language (mother tongue-based multilingual education)

It will be very significant and meaningful if learning will be done using the native language or the mother tongue.  People most especially in remote areas will be given a chance to express themselves in the language they use in their everyday living.

Making the curriculum relevant to learners (contextualization and enhancement)

The K to 12 Program excellent fits itself to the needs of the learners.  As a matter of fact, it contains contents per grade or year level that are suited to the learners’ abilities and interests.  Furthermore, the curriculum is designed to enhance the skills and potentialities of the learners to the fullest.

Gearing up for the future (junior and senior high school)

            The K to 12 Program also anticipates the needs of the future that is why it has the junior and senior high school that provides the students with their chosen subject specialization.  This will lead them to a better future since it will prepare them to face the real world.

Ensuring integrated and seamless learning (spiral progression)

           

The kind of development and progress of the learner will be on spiral progression.  It will be a step by step procedure that ensures that the lessons are not congested and the subjects and lessons in every level are integrated and seamless.

Nurturing the holistically developed Filipino (college and livelihood readiness, 21st century skills)

            Precisely, K to 12 Program nurtures the holistic development of the child.  It develops and sharpens the mental, physical, emotional, behavioural and spiritual aspects of the child making him a better person or individual.

            Generally, K to 12 has a lot things to offer and they are all awesome and outstanding.
