DepEd is revising the SHS (Grades 11 - 12) curriculum to make it less congested, more focused, more flexible, and provide subjects that are easier to align with college requirements. (DepEd, 2025)
As a graduating Grade 12 senior high school student, I believe this emerging revision in the SHS curriculum is definitely an improvement, stronger, more practical, and a step toward achieving the best outcomes DepEd aims for in Philippine education.
Although it is a shame that my batch and previous batches did not get to experience this strengthened version of the SHS curriculum, it also fills me with anticipation about how this update will impact students in the coming academic years.
So what is actually changing in Senior High curriculum?
Core subjects are reduced: the previous 15 core subjects will now be cut down to just 5.
All strands and tracks are merged into two main tracks: Academic and Technical Professional (TechPro).
Fixed strands are removed and replaced with elective clusters: students can now freely choose subjects according to their interests and career goals.
Additionally, Work Immersion will now require 200 hours of duty, which is significantly more than the previous 80 hours (equivalent to 10 days). Having fewer core subjects and elective clusters is already helpful, as it allows students to align their learning with their actual interests and career goals. With longer immersion hours, this curriculum becomes even more effective, leading students to better understand themselves and gain greater clarity and certainty about which college course to pursue due to the extended exposure.
Overall, the strenghtened SHS curriculum might be an excellent progress in the Philippine education. By reducing core subjects, introducing elective clusters, and extending work immersion hours, students will be equipped to explore their interests, develop practical skills, and prepare them for college and careers with greater confidence. Because they will be given more choice, focus, better alignment with their goals, and more real-world exposure. Encouraging self- discovery and improved decision making for higher education and career choices.
While my batch may not experience this updated model of educational program, I am optimisticly looking forward to the positive impact this curriculum will have on future students.
