THE NATIONAL Parents-Teachers Association President has lauded President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. for ordering the simplification of the current education curriculum.

“Napakagandang desisyon po ‘yan… Hindi effective ang ating K to 12… Naka-design ito na pang-OFW… Ibalik ang K to 10, ‘wag nang K to 12,” NPTA president Willy Rodriguez said.

The NPTA head also supported PBBM’s statement on how the curriculum did not increase students’ employability.

“Ilang beses na naming nabatikos [ang K to 12]… Ang pinakamagandang gawin ay tanggalin na ‘yan dahil hindi kapaki-pakinabang,” Rodriguez pointed out.

He noted that the K to 12 program only served as a burden to students and parents and that many senior high graduates remained unemployed.

“’Yung mga kompanya ay hindi tumatanggap ng mga graduate ng senior high… Hindi ito effective… Ayon sa mga pag-aaral at diskusyon, ang employability ay hindi nasusunod… Hindi masakripisyo ng mga kumpanya na kukuha sila ng senior high graduates—college graduates ang kinukuha nila,” Rodriguez said in a Super Radyo dzBB interview on Saturday.
