DepEd RBEC - Does it Change Anything?

Year 2004 when this BEC curriculum  later RBEC was presented to teachers. We were instructed to implement RBEC with Makabayan subjects and other tool subjects. We were provided with lesson guides and other materials for the implementation.

When Roco left DepED and other officials take the seat, the DepEd improves the curriculum. We were instructed to follow teaching methods suited for the curriculum. Then in my years of teaching career, I find that the curriculum do not have big difference from the old one. The good thing now is that either I follow or not the RBEC curriculum, I have seen my students in the top of their present career.

What is the effect of RBEC in my teaching performance is I do not know. I do not if I could correlate it with the achievement of my students for I see no research and evaluation done in the part of DepED after this curriculum was implemented 5 years ago.

So what do you think is the effect of RBEC in your student's performance?


The following are archive from - http://www.hartford-hwp.com/archives/54a/220.html

RBECis the product of 16 years' study and seven years of intensive consultations,Roco said many years ago. 

The government has not revised the curriculum for public elementary
schools in 13 years. Meanwhile, the curriculum for public high schools has not been changed for almost two decades, in sharp contrast to the general practice worldwide, which calls for a revision every 10 years.


That is why the RBEC, which is responsive to the ever-changing world, is badly needed, senior education department officials argued.


To actualize a gracious life in our changing world, Filipino learners need an education system that empowers them for a lifelong learning, or (the system) that enables them to be (more) competent in learning how to learn even when they are left to themselves, said Dr. Fe Hidalgo, education undersecretary for programs.

The RBEC has been drawn from various studies, particularly that of the Committee on Information Technology, Science and Mathematics, Education and Technologies. This committee is under the Presidential Commission on Education Reforms.

Called the laboratory of life, Makabayan will be the practice environment for the tool subjects. It is designed to help the students develop better interpersonal skills, empathy will cultures, vocational efficiency and problem-solving and decision-making skills.

Now after years of implementation. Do you see any changes in quality and quantity of education in our children? You judge teachers.
