MANILA (ANN): Education Secretary Leonor Briones on Tuesday (Dec 10) dismissed criticisms that the Philippines’ poor performance in the literacy assessment of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) proves the failure of the government’s K to 12 programme.

According to the results of the Programme for International Student Assessment by OECD, Filipinos fared worst among 79 countries in reading comprehension and second lowest in both mathematical and scientific literacy.

Briones pointed out that students who underwent the K to 12 programme, or senior high students, scored better than those in junior high school. “We hope that the impact of senior high school will be better felt even as we strengthen Math, Science, and English, ” she added. The Department of Education official also brushed aside claims the K to 12 programme was implemented too soon. If anything, she said it was implemented “too late.”
