Some private schools on brink of closing due to K-to-12 program – Fapsa

SADDENED by the government’s take-over of Kindergarten education under its flagship Kindergarten to Grade 12 (K-to-12) curriculum, an association of private schools expressed fear that many private schools that offer pre-school education may close down once public schools have already started teaching the new curriculum.

Eleazardo Kasilag, president of the Federation of Associations of Private Schools and Administrators (Fapsa), also said that thousands of teachers from the private pre-schools would lose their jobs once the new K-to-12 curriculum has rolled out by 2016.
