20. Cons
• As far as the curriculum is concerned, DepEd should fix the
current subjects instead of adding new ones. The problem is
the content, not the length, of basic education. As an editorial
put it, we need to have better education, not more education.
21. Cons
• Parents have to shell out more money (for
transportation and food) for the education of
their children.
22. Cons
• The government does not have the money to pay for two
more years of free education, since it does not even have the
money to fully support today’s ten years.
23. Cons
• A high school diploma will not get anybody
anywhere, because business firms will not hire
fresh high school graduates.
25. Cons
• While students are stuck in Grades 11 and 12,
colleges and universities will have no freshmen for
two years. This will spell financial disaster for many
private Higher Education Institutions (HEIs).
27. How will we teach Araling Panlipunan
under K-12 Curriculum?

namumuhay, ang kanilang ugnayan at interaksyon sa kapaligiran
at sa isa’t isa, at ang kanilang mga paniniwala at kultura upang makabuo
