Catholic Schools Unite A Strong Case Against Abolishing Senior High Education

As a nation that values education, it is deeply concerning to see a proposal to eliminate senior high school (SHS) from our educational system. Implemented in 2016 under the Enhanced Basic Education Act of 2013, SHS has provided students with a stronger foundation for college and the workforce.

Catholic education institutions are strongly opposed to this proposal, emphasizing that it would roll back years of progress in preparing Filipino students for their future endeavors. In this blog post, we will explore the evolution of Catholic schools' stance on senior high education, from its inception to the present-day opposition.

The Birth of Senior High Education

In 2013, the Enhanced Basic Education Act was passed, aiming to provide a more comprehensive and inclusive basic education system for Filipino students. The law introduced SHS, which added two years to the existing elementary and junior high school programs. This expansion aimed to better prepare students for college and the workforce by providing them with more specialized training and hands-on experience.

Catholic Schools' Response

When the proposal to abolish SHS emerged, Catholic education institutions swiftly came together to form a united front against it. They recognized that this move would not only negatively impact their students but also hinder the country's overall progress in education. By opposing the proposal, they emphasized the importance of senior high education in shaping the minds and skills of the next generation.

The Importance of Senior High Education

Catholic schools stress that SHS is crucial for several reasons

1. Better Preparation Senior high education provides students with a stronger foundation for college and the workforce by allowing them to develop specialized skills, gain hands-on experience, and explore their interests.
2. Increased Opportunities By adding two years to the basic education system, SHS opens up more opportunities for students to pursue higher education and career paths that align with their passions.
3. Enhanced Career Readiness Senior high education prepares students for the workforce by providing them with practical skills and knowledge essential for success in various industries.

Why We Must Rescind the Proposal

Catholic schools urge policymakers to rescind the proposal to abolish SHS. They believe that this move would not only harm students but also hinder the country's progress in education, which is essential for economic growth and development.

In conclusion, Catholic schools are united in their opposition to the proposal to scrap senior high education. They recognize its importance in shaping the minds and skills of Filipino students. As we continue to evolve as a nation, it is crucial that we prioritize education and support programs like SHS, which provide students with a stronger foundation for success.
