Marcos orders skills training integration into K-12 curriculum
President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. has ordered the integration of technical and vocational education and training (TVET) into the K-12 curriculum to enhance the employability of senior high school graduates.
The directive aims to ensure graduates are ready for the local and global workforce by aligning skills and education with industry demands.
Marcos emphasized collaboration between TESDA, DepEd, and DOLE with industries to achieve this goal.
TESDA Secretary Suharto Mangudadatu clarified that the integration will strengthen the K-12 program by adding a practicum component without altering the existing curriculum.
He also noted that this initiative would not create additional tasks for teachers, as schools would determine the specific skills to be integrated based on available resources.
