ADMINISTRATION OF BASIC EDUCATION CURRICULUM

Reflection 4

Last meeting we discussed about the Administration of Basic Education Curriculum.  We talked about the history of the Philippine Educational System, Policies and legislation, the trifocal education system and many others that are related to Basic Education.

As we observed our Educational System in the country passes through manifold changes before it became what is it right now. The name of the department was changed several times before it became DepEd, CHED and TESDA. The curriculum also passed through various changes.

Since our subject is about curriculum, it is just right that we start to know and tackle about the basic education which is the most important, should I say. From the word itself “basic” it is the beginning of all complex things. We cannot learn difficult or complicated lessons without knowing the basic. We cannot evaluate and improve also the secondary or tertiary education without discerning on the basic education. Since it is basic education, it should be the most memorable and meaningful to the child’s life. It will affect on how he/she views education. Is it just for passing and earning a degree or is it because it makes life more meaningful?

To sum it up all, giving the best education to these children is very important because the future of any community be it a family or a nation belongs to them. Forming this young then is very important in the kind of future that the community will have. The kind of community you/I have is a reflection on how we educate our young people. Therefore, as educators give the best of what we can give starting from the basic learning so that in the future it will bear good fruits by seeing our community/our nation progressing.
