SENATOR Jinggoy Estrada has described the K to 12 education program as a failure and urged the government to abolish it during the Senate’s budget deliberations for the Department of Education (DepEd).
During the discussions on Tuesday, Nov.25, Estrada argued that the program has fallen short of its promise to make senior high school students job-ready.

“I think this is a failure, since all those who completed senior high school are bound to be rejected in their job applications because the employers were looking for college graduates,” Estrada explained.
He emphasized that his office has been receiving appeals to scrap the program, adding that that it has become an extra financial burden for low-income families.
