WHY INCOMING SHS MUST CHOOSE TVL ?
The implementation of the K to 12 Basic
Education Program in the Philippines includes the introduction of senior high
school (SHS), or grades 11 and 12, the final 2 years in a new 6-year secondary
education system. While previous curricular focused mainly on readiness for
postsecondary education, the SHS curriculum aims to prepare students for either
further education or employment. SHS students undertake a standard core
curriculum and can choose from four tracks of specialization: academic,
technical-vocational and livelihood (TVL), sports, or arts and design. The
academic track is further divided into four strands: accountancy, business, and
management (ABM); science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM);
humanities and social sciences (HUMSS); and general academic. The TVL track
also has four strands and various specializations under each one: home
economics; information and communications technology (ICT); agri-fishery arts;
and industrial arts. There are two specific specializations for the maritime
industry: the pre-baccalaureate maritime specialization—a modified STEM
curriculum—and the TVL maritime specialization.
