Work immersion in the Philippines is an integral part of the country’s K–12 educational system, designed to expose senior high school students to real-world work environments before graduation.[1] Rooted in both educational reform and cultural values, this program reflects the Philippines’ broader efforts to align education with employability and national development.
Historical Background
[edit]Educational Reform and K–12 Implementation
[edit]The Enhanced Basic Education Act of 2013 (Republic Act No. 10533) introduced the K–12 curriculum, adding two years of senior high school (Grades 11 and 12).[2] As part of this reform, work immersion was mandated to help students:
- Acquire practical experience in their chosen tracks (e.g., STEM, ABM, TVL)
- Develop soft and technical skills
- Strengthen career readiness[3]
Before this reform, the Philippine education system offered only 10 years of basic education, which was seen as insufficient for global workforce competitiveness.[2] Work immersion was included to close this gap and mirror international standards.[2]
