Due President Benigno Aquino’s wish to see the K to 12 reform through during his term, the Department of Education is to begin implementation of senior high school in June 2015, a year earlier than originally scheduled.

“Our original plan for Grade 11 nationwide is to commence by June 2016, but the President wanted half of the Grade 11 students to already start by June 2015, one year earlier,” Education Secretary Armin Luistro said. Under the original plan, Grade 11, or the first of the two additional senior high school years, was supposed to start nationwide in June 2016. Reports Inquirer News
