Why are we implementing 12 years of Basic Education?

A 12-year program is found to be the adequate period for

learning under basic education.

A standard for recognition of students and professionals abroad

(based on the Bologna Process for the European Union and
the Washington Accord for the United States).

The Philippines is the last country in Asia and one of only three
countries worldwide (the other two being Angola and Djibouti)
with a 10-year pre-university cycle.
