SEEMS like the school year 2013-2014 will start on a positive note with a bunch of good news starting to come out and the promise of a better life is expected in the not- so-distant future. The promise of a better and competitive standard of education is assured with the passage of the K+12 law, which in essence is meant to extend basic education by two (2) more years. This is what other countries have been doing, and we are just following the global practice. This is done despite the current system of basic education has seen no dilemma, in terms of global competitiveness. The current leadership has seen a quandary in this area that according to them needs rectification, which previous administrations have not seen and acknowledged. The “scholarly” nature of the leadership has seen the “possible” world standardization of our educational system, if only for the number of years added to its operation.
