Current Education System in The Philippines and India

Current Education system in the Philippines
The education system in the Philippines is a blend of influences from its colonial history,
with a thirteen-year mandatory K-12 program that runs from kindergarten to grade 12.
The country's education system is managed by three government agencies: the
Department of Education (DepEd), the Commission on Higher Education (CHED), and
the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA).
The K-12 program has three levels: Primary School (K to 6), Junior High School (Lower
Secondary Education), and Senior High School (Upper Secondary Education). Students
have the option to pursue higher education, which includes Bachelor's degree, Master's
degree, Doctor of Medicine, Juris Doctor, and PhD.’’
Primary school in the Philippines typically lasts about six years and is divided into two
cycles: Primary cycle (4 years) and Intermediate cycle (2 years). Public schools usually
offer a 7-year curriculum, while private schools usually offer a 7-year curriculum. At the
end of each school year, students' cumulative grades are evaluated, and if they pass or
earn at least 75%, they can move forward to the next year level.
Secondary education in the Philippines consists of two levels: Lower Secondary

Education (Junior High School) and Upper Secondary Education (Senior High School).
There are different types of junior high schools in the Philippines, including general
secondary school, vocational secondary school, and science secondary schools.
After finishing the mandatory K-12 program, students have the option to pursue higher
education through over 2,000 Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) in the Philippines.
These institutions are classified as colleges or universities, public or private, secular or
religious, and can be either sectarian or non-sectarian, non-profit or for-profit.
Higher education in the Philippines is divided into three phases: undergraduate
(Bachelor's Degree), postgraduate (Master's Degree), and doctoral (PhD).
Public schools and universities in the Philippines are often free or minimally feed, but
many Filipino parents and ex-pats choose to send their children to private schools for
better education quality. Private schools tend to provide a more personal learning
experience compared to public schools.
In summary, the education system in the Philippines is influenced by its colonial history,
with the K-12 program being the most comprehensive and flexible. The government's
introduction of new legislation in 2012 added two years to the curriculum, making it
more similar to American K-12 schooling.
Current Education system in the India
The Current Education System in India emphasizes fostering qualities like confidence,
good practices, sympathy, and imagination. It is a complete blend of culture, history, and
human values. India is a democratic country guided by the principles of the Constitution.
Article 21A provide free and compulsory education of all children in the age group of six
to fourteen years as a Fundamental Right in such a manner as the State may, by law,
determine. To ensure compliance with the said article, the parliament enacted the right
to education Act of 2009. Under this act, free and compulsory education is ensured for
every child between 3 to 18. India has always paid special attention to the education
sector.
Stages of Current Education System in India
The Current Education System in India consists of the following stages:-
Pre School Stage

This is a stage where a child joins a kindergarten when the child is of 3 - 8 years of age.
This stage will include play or activity-based learnings and the improvement of language
abilities. It is crucial as the child's 50% brain develops at this stage only.
School Stage
A child enters a school at the age of 8 or 9 years and remains there till the age of 18,
starting from nursery class till class 12. At this stage, a child gets an opportunity to learn
lots of subjects. By that time, he develops an interest in them which help him to pursue
his higher education. We will discuss the school system in detail further in the article.
Higher Education Stage
After completing school, a student enters into a college or university at the age of 18 -
19 years. In India, a student first acquires graduate degrees in horticulture, designing,
pharmaceutics, and innovation generally requires four years to finish. Law, medication,
and engineering can require as long as five years.
After graduation, a person applies for a post-graduation degree from a recognized

university. We will discuss this stage in detail further in the article as well.
Doctoral Stage
This is the last stage in Education in India. After completing post-graduation, a student
who wishes to study further applies for Ph.D. and Doctoral courses. It is the highest
education qualification that a person can acquire in India. After successfully completing
this stage, a student is conferred with the prestigious title of a “Doctor (Dr.).”’
School System In India
In India, after the preschool stage, the school system starts from class nursery to class
12. Here, till class 10, a student must study all subjects such as English, Hindi, Maths,
science, and human values. After class 12, a student can opt for either arts or
commerce or science as per his interest. Understudies need to generally gain
proficiency with a typical educational plan until the finish of secondary school.
Understudies all through the nation need to learn three dialects, in particular, English,
Hindi, and their first language (optional).

education framework has extended at high speed by adding almost 20,000 colleges and
more than 8 million understudies in 10 years from 2000-01 to 2010-11.
