Is K–12 really ending? Will Senior High School (Grades 11 and 12) be removed?
The answer is still NO.
Senior High School (SHS) continues in the Philippines, now fully aligned with the Strengthened Senior High School Program, which is being implemented and refined for School Year 2026–2027.
At Filipino Institute, we remain one of the first institutions globally to operationalize these reforms across face-to-face and virtual campuses in the UAE, Qatar, Bahrain, and worldwide.
🎓 STRENGTHENED SHS CURRICULUM (SY 2026–2027)
Beginning SY 2026–2027, Senior High School follows a simplified, skills-aligned structure designed to prepare students for employment, entrepreneurship, or higher education.
🔹 Two Unified National Tracks
The former strand-based system (STEM, ABM, HUMSS, GAS, SMAW, etc.) has been replaced by:
- Academic Track
A flexible academic foundation integrating key elements of STEM, HUMSS, and ABM. - TVL (Technical-Vocational-Livelihood) Track
Industry-aligned skills programs such as SMAW, Cookery, Beauty Care, Agriculture, and other TechPro options.
✅ Strands removed
✅ Tracks unified nationwide
✅ One national SHS standard for all schools
📘 UPDATED SUBJECT STRUCTURE
Subjects are grouped into three clear categories:
🧠 Core Subjects (5 only)
- Effective Communication
- Life Skills
- General Mathematics
- General Science
- Philippine History and Society
📚 Academic Electives
🛠️ TechPro (TVL) Electives
🎯 Doorway Options System
Students may combine electives across tracks, allowing customized learning pathways based on interests and career goals.
💼 GRADE 12: INDUSTRY IMMERSION & OJT
For SY 2026–2027, Grade 12 students complete their final term through:
- Industry Immersion, or
- On-the-Job Training (OJT)
This ensures graduates are work-ready, business-ready, or college-ready.
⚠️ WHO FOLLOWS THE NEW CURRICULUM?
- Incoming Grade 11 (SY 2026–2027)
✅ Fully under the Strengthened SHS Program - Continuing students
