VICE President-elect Sara Duterte-Carpio has yet to make known her plans for the Department of Education but already, students are debating about the K-14 curriculum that presidential candidate Walden Bello said will be the new curriculum.

Students voiced opposition to speculations that there will be extra two years after Senior High School for military training.

Those opposed to mandatory military training said that students should not bear two more additional years in school.

They said that the next Education secretary should focus instead on improving the quality of education in the Philippines.

Duterte-Carpio has yet to issue a statement regarding the K-14 issue.

The Davao mayor denied claims that she already has plans for the reintegration of mandatory Reserve Officers’ Training Corps.
